I've learned thing in Forex, you have to set a profit limit at some point to make money. If your acct is big enough, do not need to set a SL As the price will oscillate and more often hit your profit at some point. If you have SL then the opportunity to gain flies away ..
Thanks for the advice

LOL..yeah. But in this market right now, unless your target is no more than 25 - 30 pips away, you have little chance of hitting it.

I always have several targets in mind. This wishy washy stuff just never even gets close.

Like I said earlier, not worth trading this bottleneck.
Guess the direction before the hand is shown & you will get crushed.
It never fail to amaze me how some people who said they're here to learn how to trade end up behaving like dumb gamblers.

Btw, I'm not directing this to those who are scalping.
Thank You

Hello folks,

I have been reading the post and to much surprise see a lot confusion, which is were I was over 2 years ago when consolidation happen. Like I stated in a post earlier I sold at 450. I thought it would hit the channel and come back down, well it did but I did close my trade when it bounce off the 350 and closed at 385. As a trader we most learn how to trade all conditions especially when we are in consolidation patterns more then breakouts. When the price dropped to 350 and bounced minor wave (a), the new high which it did not close at a new high ( good indication ) this is corrective ( minor wave (b). Now for the continuation pattern back up, a retracement of the (b) wave of 50 to 76% and then back up to complete this move up. I am thinking 6500 to 6535. This move would be invalid if 6350 is broken. Question have we reached a top of this move. Chances are no, why cuz usually when a move is complete the first reaction is a nice move that is were price action comes into place. The down move here was slow ( Correction ), go back and look at some tops and bottoms, the price is not up and down it is a straigth shot. Not saying this can not tank. But from what it is saying it looks corrective to this up move at this time. We do also have a double top. A reversal pattern, maybe. So what do u do in these conditions. go to the lower time frames 5min , 15min and draw ur high and lows and buy and sell with a tight stop, u can trade either direction or trade with the trend ur choice. The scalpers understand what I am talking about here. Hope this kind of helps. But to be a excellent trader u need to learn all the ave. of trading ( scapling, intraday, med and long term ). Just some input I am not recommending how or what u trade.

When the market's swinging this much follow the candle bodies, not the wicks, and ignore opposing hiramis that are part of a trend. The 1H 15:00 candle was a bearish engulfing and the current candle is bearish as well. If we solidly break 6395 then a short might make sense. but it looks like we'll range for a while longer.

(I'm sure it will break when I'm at the supermarket.... it always does. )

Certainly, don't ask for too much if you are day trading. 30-40 pips per day is reasonable, if consistent, can keep your employer away
More or less trading Forex is just like business 101 - buy cheap, sell high and vice versa. I've noticed that at the time European market opens (around 11 AM GMT, just these 2 pairs GBP/USD & EUR/USD), if u see price touches hourly Bollinger band upper or lower band, then go with the opposite trend. Set for 30-40 pips and no stoploss. You would likely win (it's not 100% guaranteed but it's close if u don't have stoploss).

What, you mean all this wicked action showing clear direction over the past 28 hours ain't worth trading??.....
