thanks mike. if i get you correct?: macd clearly made a lower high, yet price almost has an equal high, so there is still a diverging nature between the two. so if other reasons to trade this were strong, this would still be a good trade(as the chart shows now).
yep exactly. Like you I would of preferred a break higher then some nice clear PA. This is always the preferred for me. But a big thing for many people is double top + pa + div + etc.
Best
Mike

Missed this one,

but it sure looks sweet.

fib confluence + horizontal ppz on the weekly,
Beautiful IPB on the daily, which goes to work straight away.

Ghous.
AUDCHF...

What a nice set-up, and I was ready to put on a trade until I saw that Oanda does not offer this pair.

buenas noches.

This is what I am watching at the moment.
This trade worked exactly like I expected, quite happy about it.

Entered on the 50% retrace of the pin, moved my stop to BE once it hit the first TP area, moved stop again to the top of the second PPZ when it broke through (since it was a huge PPZ that would either break hard or bounce and screw around).

It bounced, as expected, to stop me out at 77.12 for a ~150pip gain. It is now chopping around between the two PPZs, and I am happy to be done with it. Might reenter if it breaks the daily pin in a big way.

Not exciting per se - but the fact that I put together a trading plan for handling it with clearly defined stop and TP levels, and then stuck to it... well, it is an improvement from the time I would have

a) held on and let this one (eventually) go against me, or
b) at least stop me out at BE after I entered on the first break of the pin and then held it even after it bounced hard off the first PPZ

Pretty sure that Jim, Mike, James, Ryan, Mark and Ghous have all said that trade management is harder and more important than entry signals. So it is probably worth listening to

Thanks again to the senior crew here for making my trading a bit less sucky.

ive returned almost 8000 emails and pm's from this thread.

i have record of every single one of them.

never charged a dime nor ever solicited a dime from one of them.

how did i get here?

im still not sure.

will i stay here?

Forgot about that too. I thought James was over 3 grand at one point.

At least now Mike it looks like you may possibly have a life outside of the forum. lol

Incedently , it was Seeking that gave me that "Watch for Ice" picture. Took a lot of editing to make it almost readable back then. Had to cut and paste the pic to get the bear and sign to fit in the avatar. lol

Laughed HARD when i first seen it.
