If you are taking every inside bare above or below the open as your setup and entry then you did not get it wrong, you take your loss and move on.

If you are taking an inside bar above or below the open as your entry but have some other type of setup that you have devoloped (discretion)then I do not know if the trade was right or wrong for you. There are other types of set ups discussed in this thread.

Regarding right and wrong trading my view is that the only wrong trades are the ones you take without some sort of well thought out or researched trading plan. Then you should only have cost and profits.

Or you might end up trading like this

This is business.

Their is plenty of money to be made if you treat it that way. In time hard work and effort can pay off, Dr HouseTrader is a Doctor, I could be a Doctor like him if I am willing to do the same things he did. But I am not. Hat's off to you.

The reason I keep pointing in my posts to research and a trading plan is that I believe that is the best way for a trader to develope. Then there is journaling ect. I believe it is more helpful for you to devolope your own plan then for me to tell you mine.


Best regards

Dale

I hate it when I deviate from my plan becuase it is a path down the darkside and only leads to a loss of account equity.

I hope this helps

thanks dale for ur kind words and expalnation..

but according to the system setup mentioned in the first few pages of this thread it says that we would take the break of the IB in the direction of the day's open .. i mean if the IB breaks above the day's open we buy and if it breaks below the day's open we sell..so i was thinking of this specific trade

please do point out looking at the pic what did i do wrong

Yes, I have IBs on EUR/USD and USD/JPY close to resistance trendlines. The other majors, I don't like the look of any of them at the moment.

if you were to trade every IB that you see you will without a doubt loose money. You have to look at many factors aswell, daily pivots, R1, S1, trendlines, news, market open times, personally I also use MA`s, looking at higher TF to see where they are. You mentioned the usd/yen earlier, if you plot a 200MA at the time you where in that trade go to the daily chart and see where the 200MA is!! just trying to help

I agree that it is helpful to do some analysis before taking a trade but I was wondering if you could explain a bit more clearly what you mean by the position of the 200ma on the hourly at 6 am GMT in relation to the daily?

ok plot a 200MA, now look at the daily where is it.. draw a line, now go to the 1hr chart, I have it at 98.38, so when Simple was going short market hit it.. look it doenst want to pass at the moment... wait for the 1hr to open below then re-look for another IB

Thanks for the explanation Croeses. I tend not to trade short above the 200ma, or long below it on any given time frame but I don't use multiple time frames in this regard.
