Never buy into resistance or after a period of buying in the context of an overall downtrend ...
yes i understand this but this is not trading, its gambling..

I'm short now at 4480, covered at +2 in the event she wants to spike up again, I'll short her again higher up.
And we ride together once again.I went short at 14436 with one lot and at 14480 with another.

I don't feel my trade is a gamble. I have a trendline on the daily that I'm playing this off of. Could it continue up, yes by all means it could, but I would rather short her here than go long. Also, we did not break 4500 today, which keeps me in the short bus.

h1 closed out of steeper trend channel to top side. Cud head towards top of less steep trend channel around 4800.
Also with the not buyin into resistance etc, ul notice price has already been up here, so it removed some supply.

Agree
I also put a stop at break-even - so if it does go back up - no harm done

i always knew u had reasons bro!
it could go down, i just didnt think the close on 15m was quite as low as id have wanted it..Id myself not go long here either..so i can see why u went short as i know u play it both ways

And that area is minor compared to the 4480/4500 ... i did what i dont usually do and thats take a trade without a 1-2-3 formation off the high, so yes in my case i am gambling

if i am wrong, along with others in here, its a 20 pip lesson learned .. this same style of trading caught me about 75% of the move we had starting sunday ..

I said earlier that it could go to 1.4478 now I see it could go even higher to 1.4506 and then to 1.46 so be careful with your shorts I 'll wait for better set up
