These are the days that drive me nuts

Looking at the GBPCHF & EurGBP they are so tempting beautiful pins with great space. I am just trying to break the habbit of catching the falling knife....
I agree..if they were with the trend, i think i'd played them without any doubt (they could be defined killer PB); but they are counter-trend in the short term, and it is very dangerous..

Joel,

Here I plaid today a "Ben-rac" trade

I have also used this chart to show what I mean by checking div on a closed line chart, and how do they look correlated.

I had a very small stop on this trade. Why? Nature of breakouts - if it would reach that high, I'm sure it was enough for all the orderflow to trigger and shoot price to the moon. So it was a chance to take a calculated risk and aim for a large R:R.

ok, tomorrow school again, going to take a shower and prepare my stuff, bye bye

The most tempting for me is the eur/gbp. It was rather easy for me to pass on gbp/chf and the nzd/jpy

I am also going to pass on eur/gbp just lack of confluence and uncertainty. I have learned that passing is always better then itching to trade.

Here is where price is likely to go. But everyone MUST trade what THEY see. That is what makes a trader

I was hoping to see a strong close on gbp/jpy which would have increased my confidence all across. That lack of pinbar close. I am just going to watch the smaller timeframes for clues.

Hey D

Careful here that isn't an outside bar. It must have a higher HIGH then the previous bars High as well.

Hi Dmc. What is the falling knife
When price is dropping very hard and fast(ie very big bearish bars). Trying to catch it with a small bar is dangerous. I like to personally see an equally big bullish bar to reverse

That's what I meant when I said:

"The only thing that does a bit scare me though, is a sharp move. That means there is momentum. I will prefer a consolidation down with a bit traffic, than trading against a very sharp move."

You're the man Mike

Here are another two examples from today. If My round number is also a very major round number' or a strong price pivot, I just move my stop to BE asap, and let my position ride to the moon. This trade I managed tight because it wasn't more than a round number. It went much further, but I don't care. I played the bar with an half stop, which doubled my position size, and I am happy.

Now, you see my charts and think "wow! how does that kid trade like that?!". Well, I am telling you that I have spent way too much hours next to the computer in...

Great post Ben.

Go, Ben, Go!

Hi D,

I see you are from Oz. Here in London I have a very similar chart.
If you double your chart up to 2 days, it will no doubt produce a two day pin.

I am considering taking it.

I wonder if a more senior J16 would be able to advice us on this.

My take is if I zoom out in time, add on the five hour time difference on to the beginning of the day. I am seeing a pin (although broken into hourly segments). We would be using the same high for stops and same profit targets. Does it matter?

I am new here so don't read to much into my views.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes an Administrator to respond to a complaint?

I want to give it time, but I also want to know what is going on with it. If I at least knew how long it usually took, I would feel better.

I do not think I can be part of a site that allows that type of behavior, and does nothing about it.
