I have been staying away from short time frame trading in Asia but when I see a trend like this one its hard not to jump in, bounce off the 16 EMA (MA's are 8,16,43 and 86) wanted to get in at a better price but still was good for a 20 pip profit!

"Build it and they will come".... or at least "Wait for the pulback and I will trade it" Got in just under the whole number (risky) but took off 30 pips

Sleep well

Hello

Well done Dan, glad to see your in the pips!

I just had the one trade today on the (EUR/JPY) as can be seen on the chart it was nice bounce on the 16 and take profit was 9 pips under the whole number making it + 40 pips, this was against the 1 hour trend which looking at a Cornflower chart is down.

Hello

Just the 1 one trade today on the Pound, was a bit risky really with a whole number not far from the open of the trade ... also the daily R1 line was right about the take profit but the momentum was with us and took out +30.

Hello

Took a trade on the EUR today, got in 40 mins after the London open. Once it got going there was clean air until the next whole number so after selling @ 1.4765 I thought it could run and got myself +40 pips

st trade of the day... well the last few days I have only had 1 trade per day anyway.

EUR/JPY bounced off the 16 and I got in 2 pips above the high of the bounce candle, plenty of clean air above with no pivots or whole numbers so felt pretty good about this one. Took profit at +30 pips.

So far this week the 5 min trends have been good around Euro/London open... I find that (sometimes)happens In NFP weeks so not getting sucked into false security!

OK well I spoke to soon when I said I have only been taking one trade a day.
Again on the EUR/JPY, Formed a nice hammer that bounced on the 16 and with the air still clean above I thought 30 pips should be alright. the only thing that proved a small stumbling block was the Daily R1 on the USD/JPY... once it broke that up she went. Take profit was 11 pips under the whole number so +30 ... it was worth leaving the charts on for.

Hello,

Things didn't work out quite so well today, Took a trade on EUR/JPY and really it looked quite good, entry was under the whole number, the daily pivot was above and nothing much in sight for 100 pips. Got stopped out by 1.5 pips and now it looks to going my way but hey thats trading!

Hello

Just thought I would post 2 charts of what and why I did not trade today, as can be seen on the 1st chart there is a pretty good bounce on the 43, price looked as if it had broken the S1 (green dotted line) so all should be good.

If you look back a few hours there are a couple of bounces off the 1.6600 level and that is only about 40 pips away from what would be the trade entry price. Some traders might think thats plenty of room to make some pips.... well good for them but I don't like that the market has already rejected that level, if I am looking for 20 to 30 pips then thats a big chunk of the 40 pip pie.

Also notice how the market is not able to move away from the R1, it's almost like a magnet.... this happens for different reasons but the main things that we understand it happens and stay out of the market when it does.

Not every day is a trading day for Bob and thats just as important as picking the right days to trade.

Hello

Thanks Danc, well after a few days of staying out of the market I took the plunge today on the Pound, price turned around in between the 16 and 43 MA's to set a stop entry under what looked like it would be the swing high, price went down then retested the area before going all the way for a 40 pip profit. Right at the mo there might be a set up on the EUR or the Cable again but ill walk away with my held tight.
