It is difficult to trade without expectation. One should trade with dicipline, which will come from over expectation. I like it !!!

1.6474 is my tp though I have taken some off and have my stop at 1.6589 on top of that last 1hr bar. Was giving myself a 30 pip stop and didnt even put it in when I made the trade and it went positive just had it in my head from the day chart to short at 1.6593

I am not short yet but I was just talking to a trading partner of mine and I told him the target on a short for me would be 1.6475 based of the h1 chart so good luck and I hope to get a ticket on that train soon

she's in a tight range atm. What do you think about this: When it breaks the upper s/r than go long and when it closes below the 10 ema go short?

I know I must take trades on my own but I also like to hear meanings and thoughts about trade situations from more expierienced traders.

I took a long after she closed above my 6580 resistance line and then retested the 10 ema. After 10 pips I covered 50% of my trade and set the sl to break even. It was too early and so I got stoped out.

Yes and that's is why this thread is so valuable. A lot of nice and experienced traders who are so kind to share their knowledge with others.

Looks like she is out of gas based on the m15 and h1. Thinking about a short at the close of the m15.
