You were considering the Evening Star candle with the Lower Low MACD behaviour as the reason to the the CT.

But, wouldn't it be too much risky against a steady uptrending price during that period sir? I mean, look at the steady gap between 8ema and 21ema themselves. That also explain a lot as per your rules.

Looking forward for your explaination here...master...

It might very well be a false breakout. But I am going for a Fib retracement on that weekly pinbar of at least 38%. the 4H candles confirm at least an attemp to retrace. The trendline around 1.6365 will be my Breakeven level. That is where I will set all to breakeven or take 50% off the table.
It depends what happens with price motion at that TL. Lets see how this is going to play out.

What do you think about this USD/CAD TC?
Inverted hammer with a bullish signal candle off the 21ema will allways put the odds in your favor 7/10 times at least.

Trade taken on AudUsd

Edit 1
Closed 50% at 0.9200 for +29. The bottom TL on 1H was the early target.

Edit 2
Price reached the 1H bottom TL for the second time. Set remainder to BE.

Edit 3
Closed remainder for +90pips when the 4H 89sma was reached as planned.

Nice entry as well.
I closed my long there and then switch to the AudUsd. I had difficulty to decide between the EurUsd and the AudUsd as they were both sqeezed inbetween two trendlines. I actully have decided on Sunday that I will wait for the AudUsd break to the short side. Lets see what happens.

After 7 months of study, I reached 5 consecutive weeks of positive result using this system (attached img with pips per week). Actually last 3 weeks I had only 1 trade per week, but I'm very proud of my progress.

Thx to all sharing their knowledge.

If you continue to be that patient you will constantly make pips per month.
Well done

i took this trade today, and i zoomed into 1h for an entry.

Entered once price broke thru 89ema and got out at 18990, thinking that the 365ma would be strong support. so im watchin protential profit slipping at the moment. am i right to ignore chasing this trade? since im in profit for the day, i think i might do. did anyone took this pair as well?

I see this as a positive trade even if you missed it. If you planned it and was not there when it happened it is all part of trading. Happened to me many times before.
Just take the positive out of it that you were right and it was according to the rules and rhythm.
I might have closed to early because it might still go but that was how I planned the trade.

Hi
Here is some photos of the youth camp we had this weekend. We surely could help a few youngsters with some serious problems.
