I'm so cautious with PO's that I won't set them if I'm not going to be awake. You've got balls and do it all the time and have great success. I watched the h4 closed at midnight, took a little nap and woke up to watch it breakout of the 6015 ceiling it made yesterday.
I did that trade based mostly on the daily.... that is why I had such a wide stop.. but I aint complaining.... the week has been great and it was not a big loss...

Heads up bro! Last h1 was bearish and engulfing, we might see the 6015 or even the h1 62/50 today. Just a possiblity. I'm not shorting her and will wait for confirmation of the trend shift on the cross of the 35/50, but for now, the h1 10 is holding true as well but showing weakness. My SL is at 6090

I see it bro! I agree with those levels as well.. however, the last h1 candle closed with a long wick to the bottom and closed above 6100.. I think we have a good chance of seeing near 6150 or so if we get a solid close above the m15 5/10...

Couldn't agree more! My next TP is 6150, then the rest will be set to run with SL of +20.

I agree, the h1 62 would be a hell of an opportunity today. I would probably leave a soldier or two on over the weekend should we see it. The montly is a nasty looking candle with power beyond belief.

I working on trading higher time frames to include it with my daily EO/Infinity method. :nerd:

HOLLA
That is one of my main goals also to be able to take the longer trades. Kinda of set it forget. Take the emotion away I hope. I have even opened a seperate account for this purpose. Thinking to post up the higher charts at the end of trading everyday and maybe get some input from the EXPERTS. Mainlly confirmation of what we are seeing and the entries and exit levels alnog with the required stops ( that won't get taken out by the big boys)

I will try and set my charts up for this over the weekend. I believe this might help a lot of us, There are a group of people here that started trading the longer term and then stepped down to the faster charts. So they have already gained the skills to stick for there profit targets and know that there stops even if there pretty big are going to workout. The majority of the time.

Enough on this for now. I need to end the week with a positive trade. Been away for a bit.. Groceries beat the crowds.

Happy Friday To All ...Ken
Good Trading To All ; Ken Lee

Sounds like a great idea Ken, as you seen today, folks get an entry, take profit and covered while looking at longer term targets. :nerd:
