hey eo I like this building positions trading, I've not tried it before, but it has been working out better (I think) than just putting it all on 1 price.
You need to keep soldiers ready for reinforcements. There are times where I will throw them all into battle together, but others I'll build the position with them at key areas like I did with the h4 at the end of the US Session yesterday. Just remember not to force the trade, let the setup happen then start your soldiers. Sometimes you might get your full position because she'll just go in the direction, other times, you'll get to add more. Either way, green is good!

Like you I have another business and I had stepped away from my desk...missed it
That's alright bkg, I got it for you. Took half off at +20, now rest set to BE and I'm looking to hit the 15m 21EMA for some more profit. Don't worry another one will be along in a minute.

Sorry you missed it, but you might get another chance. She could also still continue her warpath northbound.

Good job bro!

Patience is hard to achieve, but when you wait for the setups, it feels so much better than forcing the trade!

Well truth be told I didn't wait for the pin to close, I took it at 4831 as prior PA factors in, as well as I have an old weekly S/R value of 4832. Figured that would definitely help put the odds in my favor. Now I'm riding the southbound train with some green pips showing up. Doesn't get any better than this. Now if I wasn't so busy at work and actually ahd time to trade, I might actually be able to make something of this...

looks like a nice set-up on the 1h for shorts.....looking for profit taking off the longs from around 4330 today.

I got the guitar out..."Everything is gonna be allright"

Freaky Friday!

Did you take it at 4832? It was a good setup. Notice how the prior 15m candle closed below the wick of the full bodied candle before that? Clean entry bro. I would take some off of her at +20 and cover the rest though.

Enter at that lowest support line up the wick, with a sl 35 above the wick?

If your already short, then your doing excellent on the pin on the h1. Myself, I'm still long, if she moves up the wick, I'll take a short with SL on the other side of the wick.

I didn't take it bro, I posted it when she came though that a short at 4832 would be good there.

Here's where I posted the short trade: #5974

You and EO are twins too, you explained the setup with the same words EO used earlier! Freaky!
