THANKS ALCANDO...BUT I DON`T KNOW WHY MY ENTRANCE IS BAD...ALSO AS I MENTIONED BEFOR DAYS I DON`T USE STOP LOSS BECAUSE I HATE THE RED BARS IN MY HESTORY...THE OTHER BAD THING IS MY CLOSING, I ENTERED BEFORE A WHILE SHORT IN 5480 AND CLOSED IT AT 5430!!! I DON`T KNOW WHATS UP TO ME
Have you tried sticking to following longer time frames like the 1 and 4 hr, if you havent then this should help to give you confidence of the direction of the trade, and help you stay in a winning trade longer. Its much easier to get spooked on short time frames

Hay Guys I Have A Good News For You...i Don`t Know Whats Up, But Through This Week My Enteries Was Wonderfull!!! When I Enter Short It Goes Up For 100 Pips At Least, And When I Go Long It Goes Down For 100 Pips At Least...so I Will Post My Enteries To Go Against It And Get Profit For Sure...damit
Hic hic, so please tell me you are in long or short now, I will go the reverse direction to you. ha ha just joking.
but I think you should enter short now at 1.54 and wait untll the end of next week when GU is 1.45, sure that you will make about near 1000 pips. hic hic.

Yes, I struggle with the confidence on the closes too. If I question whether its going to move further I often exit at the start of the bounce closest to the strongest resistance. I don't trade the same as the good traders here yet. I often exit at a strong resistance/support and and wait for the bounce. If the bounce is strong I feel it is better to not lose the pips and re-pay the 3 pip spread than have it go against me by 30pips.

Sometimes it does not return but once it has bounced I don't mind re-entering in the original direction when it turns, as long as it has not past my exit point+spread. Thats only at strong levels and times when I expect a strong bounce. It also means that I do not mind setting a stop at 25 from that new level as it is less than I would have lost in the first place. A 23fib correction is normal and so I play from there.

As for stops, if your entry is at a S&R level, fib or and you trust the trend and your analysis there is no need to lose more than 20-40 pips on a entry. I always use a stop and I believe it saves my butt many times..

Your exit was good earlier but if you saw it turn at the new 23 fib of the strong downtrend you could have re-entered and made more on the trade than just keeping it.

This is how I trade. I wait for the price to come to me.

Sometimes it takes a whole day, it gets there and kicks me in the face. Like yesterday...

What matters is that you have a trading plan and stick to it. Let the trade come to you.

The price can be 200 pips away from your order and you know that it will eventually get there but don't trade that move cause it's against your trading principles. Frustrating at times but it pays off and that's what matters.

Overtrading is a disease. Some people do it really well and very profitably. Most don't!

So my advice is, patience...
