...Went short at 1.3965, took 2/3rds of position out at 1.3925.
Expectation....down to 1.3893.

Should it get below 1.3893, it has open space to 1.3803!!
Good Trading. (keep it simple).

There's a lot of daily range yet to give. Picked up 30 on the last move south. I'd like 3880 this time, Alex (Trebek), please.

Obviously that long I was looking for last night never materialized. I had a pending at 4007, to go to 3037, but it never took off. Deleted that trade before bedtime. This move is looking good.
Up or down, gimme a ticket

Didn't get in short, but the move is extended so worth at least a scalp.

It's a .618 & 1.618 5 wave extension so there's a good chance that it might retrace back to 1.3938.


But I'm still short.

Atlast knocked me out of my short at +1 pip, after a healthy +30 prior to that. Now awaiting another set-up. You guys are good.

You're quite welcome.

Regarding your example... that's way too much detail for me. If I may make an observation.... it seems that you are falling into the same trap that pretty much everyone falls into. That is, making trading more difficult that it needs to be. You might try "zooming out" in all aspects. Meaning, not only the timeframe of the chart, but also your entire gameplan. I guarantee the simpler you make it, the better you will do (see again my last post for a general gameplan.)

Try using the 1 or 4 hour charts and limiting yourself...
Thanks again F.x

I actually do look at hourly and 4 hourly charts to plot S/R levels and major trendlines, I only zoom into shorter timeframe to finese entry and lower risk.

Longer timefames are easier to trade however stops are further away, but risk reward remains the same.

Risking 10 pips to make 20 or risking 50 to make 100 is the same risk reward ratio. If you also have the same win/loss ratio for both then the key difference is position size and frequency.

Cheers
