My H1 and H4 have closed with a broken channel/ Trendline. I dont like the look of this action for a long at them moment. I will wait for a H1 confirmation for a long due to this break.

Nothing wrong with that bro! As you can see, we're either early in our longs or we'll be stopped out.

lol come on man dont rely on that... thank god im not in a trade now... but there is still something i cant understand with the market. i am able to set targets but when you set a reasonable stop according to your reward ratio you will get your stop eaten very often, its like they let the market retrace then they give a signal to go in the trade, then they let the market retrace again to eat the stop losses and then after eating all the stop losses they go with the trend...
i am able to explain what happens in the market AFTER it happens, but before it happens all you have is to guess is it gonna be plan a or is it gonna be plan b.

where to put the stop loss?

Know what you mean, like they fix it against you!! But i truly dont believe that. I traded for quite a while just writing my trades down (not actually trading) and it still happened. Though they could fix it for the masses.
As for that H&S i believed it would play out, my target was 14620 and i exited there.....bit early in hindsight but still good pips.
