Oh baby she's getting close. Just out of curiosity Jaroo, where do see the last strong PPZ to hide behind? I'm no expert for sure but I'm seeing somewhere around the 4800 level perhaps? Hmmmm...now you got me thinking. Dam I'm tired too....LOL

I agree with Jarroo...

You're basically keeping your stop far too tight Albchr, It's like after such a good move you don't want a single penny out of your pocket and that sure is natural, but really it's better to get out with this decent trade right now than to keep a stop above Friday's bar. I like it where Jarroo just advised it to be, that way you'll give the market a real chance of giving you more, within logical parameters.

Cheers!

Oh and BTW great trade there...

Probably the 4500 would be stronger, if this is a new uptrend change.

Yea...lol..I was afraid you'd see that too. So now I have to decide whether I think it's going up, or about to turn around. I think I might back the SL off whilst I think about it...LOL

Thanks for the answer on the pin too Jarroo...... That was my thinking as well from what I've read so far.

I've opened trade on weekly BUOB EURJPY. I've made 143 pips profit.Nice trade in the begining of this week.
I'd like my Chf/Jpy puppy to wag it's tail a bit...

i.e I'm waiting for a pullback, the market shooting up like that straight after opening gives more weight to such a possibility...

Nice one on the Eur/Jpy oltciter

Ghous.

That's beauty of your position chris, no matter what you decide you win. From a pips perspective and a learning one.

Yep, that would be exactly what it's like. I hemmed and hawed all last week as I kept reminding myself to be patient. I moved my stops at the end of each day and really thought I was so disciplined. But NOW is what separates the traders from the faders...LOL

Ah yes, still so much to learn about myself.....thinking..........thinking................

Whenever something comes that easy I tend to step back and say hold on before getting caught up in the euphoria of it all and going off thinking "I've got it now"...LOL

Yep, i know exactly how you feel. You hold yourself back, because of the crap you've experienced in the past.

Thats why i steered clear of rating that setup. Your trade management indicated that you've been round this game for a while. Thats why i focused more on the pyschology.

Keep up the practice

Currently in a good area to look for price action in the smaller timeframes....

OK I've decided. I'm gonna leave my stop tight and what will be will be. Here's why.

Since becoming disabled in Nov. 07 I'm trading for my families life.

With only a 10K account to start with this win is a BIG win!

If I get only one more trade (or a combination) like this, this month, it puts me 1-1/2 months ahead on bills and adds a touch to my account.

NEVER let a winner become a looser.

And it would appear the dollar is at least a "little" weak against the other majors so maybe it will stay that way. (This last one doesn't mean too much as I'm just learning and really don't have a clue if that has any bearing at all) But it backs up my choice...LOL

And lastly, I really need to get some sleep as I've been going non stop reading this thread and watching vids in the PF.

Thanks so much everyone and have a great night! May the Forex God show you all many green pips!

Good night.

Here is another one...usdcad...

Overboard seems like we are looking for some retracement to some oversold dollar....start looking for some clear priceaction before anything

Here is a setup I wont be taking simply because the size of the wick is not convincing enough . Meaning the market found sellers in this area but not enought to make a drastic change of sentiment. Meaning that it takes away the high probabilty of trade and making it less then an A trade..Its better to miss a good trade then miss your capital lol

If the pair falls about another 8 pips I will move to break even and teh trade becomes stress free. After that the market can moves as it wants...
