gbp/jpy is setting up for a range breakout on the hourly, that's definitely a pair to watch right now.

Well, the big boys in Manhattan should be back to their boards loaded up with liquid lunches anytime now. We'll see what they do to the market.

I had two trades running on the E/J, closed one at +20, the other sitting around +30. I was getting seasick from the up and down motion and I wanted the other trade to move so I closed part of my position.

I know what you mean about about the bouncing thing, if I am trading a small TF like the 30 I will only let it run for so long and then if my targets do not get taken out I may say enough is enough and take my money and go home...LOL The lonfer TF I will let run longer but I get antsy if it does not go when I think it should...

I also looked at the chart and saw what you were talking about on the aud/jpy this AM it did not break and pullback to the trend line but broke and pulled all the way back into it. I guess the trade i posted really is not for this forum it does not fit the rules.

I grabbed some on the E/J, but not much. Closed one trade +20 as it had stalled for over an hour during lunch, had 30+ on the other, took a short break came back and the market jumped against me by 18. That one got stopped out for a few pips.

How did your Aussie trade go?

I also think the deeper we get into December the choppier it is going to get as the volumes slowly start to drop off..

I am not sure what you mean my entry is placed after I get the confirmation signal and the my SL is placed behind the event that got me in the trade. My targets can be anything from the next S/R level or the ADR or the the length of the last impulse...etc my targets can change based on PA. But usually my second TP is based on the last impulse length to give me a starting point to work with.

when you enter a trade you wait for a break, pullback and then continuation. For the entry you wait for the swing low of the pullback to be broken "for a short" the number 2 swing to be broken at what point do you say this is a solid continuation? How many pips past that swing do you wait? I know your stop goes above the swing of the pullback "for a short" how far past the swing?
