Excellent job!
I don't know how much faith I have in it though. I booked half as soon as she hit 6150 and just covered the rest at BE. Do you think that's maybe too soon?

I always have a harder time judging this at this time of day....

I've booked profit as well and I'm covered at +3. I'm letting it ride on the h4. Have you looked at your h4 that closed 57m ago? It might change your mind on your position. I'm targeting 6260 for my next TP.

Yes I just got back to my computer a little while ago and just now looked at the 4H. Very encouraging for sure....

Sure, this should explain it off the m15. Looking at the h1 as well and h4 was another reason.

For me it was this dandy 15m pin (red arrow) which closed 1 pip above the prior lows. I waited to see how far the next 15m bar would go down. As soon as it stopped I hit my buy button and caught it 2 pips off it's low at 6123 so I was in at 6125. I was fairly confident a SL just below the pins low would make a nice RR trade.

Absolute textbook Ken! Good job!

This is what I'm talking about everyone. You don't need to trade the morning breakout or any other break out for that matter. Let it happen and take price into the movement off the ma's watching your key S/R. If you do 4 trades for 25 pips a piece, how many pips is that in your pocket? Just because you see Infinity, PippiNole, DavidS, or anyone else in from the top or bottom and up 100+ pips on the movement, don't try and copy it. You can get the same amount of pippage yourself with the above and less stress about what the market is doing. These trades fall into the 1:00/5:00 trade setup with the ma's as your guide for SL. It doesn't get much easier than this. If your stuggling with trading, maybe you need to find an easy setup like this and just trade it. As you become more comfortable with the setups and you advance as a trader, then you can start looking to pick cherries from the tree and ride them for 100's of pips at a time. It's like riding a bike, when you first started you had training wheels, now you do it without even thinking or emotion of fear. You can get on and go. Trading really can be this simple if you let it.

Please post me a chart with TF your pulling these from and why. I want to see that you can do this and not me do it for you. I'll be more than happy to elaborate on your charts, but you need to trade what you see, not what I see.
