Yea yesterday, i took the same one. But i should've really waited to see if it would touch the top of the potential triangle/diamond before i traded a bottom touch...

Just a thought.

Yeah, I guess you say something there. It seems in the long run, betting on half-way formed patterns or TL is really hard.

Looks like a good channel, again, i'd rather see it come back up and trade the top, also Stop & Reverse more in play then.

Both the green and the white TL have been touched 3 times.

Buy @ .6025. S&R active. Stopped out, S&R active. Kinda risky taking S&R when the daily range have been formed. Let's see. Stopped out.

Doesn't seem so, check what range it should have according to the template.

You're right, I just checked the ATR calculator which is wrong. Doesn't seem like any combs either. Haven't traded this template before. He only recommend this trade because the risk taken is so small.

20-30 pips as his recommend TP1, lets see. Might be good for a coulpe of pips though.

Yea i agree, i would watch a topside break, as it could be a fakie, but to the south, 30-50 profit shouldn't be that hard.

Still pretty risky.

Tested the upper channels border. Lets see where it wants to roll. Actually could have entered at the top of the range with a tight stop.

Well, no reasons to cry over spilled milk as my old teacher said when he crashed he's brand new car If I worked for someone else yesterday, I would've been fired.

18.1b on usd/jpy, short @ 89.64. S&R active. TS on 35 pips TP2 ADR.

Yes, completely agree with you buddy. Just we have to learn from our mistakes that we dont commit them in the future. As for this 18.1b is the timing still okey, as igrok states the position should be opened not later then 2-3 hours of euro session?
