True but it's uncommon that the bounce occurs exactly at the right value, not 1 pip more or less
Are you still in ?
I am in but i will be out if it goes below 146.90.

I mean if you wanted to enter at 147 you should have set your limit at 147+spread.

Took the same trade you did on u/cad. IMO it was just some bad luck, I think it was a good trade. No biggie really
I agree with you. Don't take my tone wrong here, I'm just not happy with myself. I traded long just above support which is generally a good idea. Looking back though, that daily pin delivered me the goods already. Once out I should have waited for bar confirmation even if it was on lower TF's before getting back in. If you look back on the 1 hr chart, my entry long was at the break of a most beautiful 1 hr pin showing short. I couldnt have entered at a worse time. I just didnt see it and it would have kept me out of the trade. Simple as that. Whoever made my money deserves it. I get the experience and will use it for future benefit.

Big battle going on now between 1.6 and 1.6050. Given the location, that is to be expected.

yes, the open & close of the first & last bar is near each other (looking at your chart, the close seems to be below the open, making this a pinbar with a huge nose/tail).
having said that, dont make it difficult for yourself. consult an H4 chart & u will most likely have a 2-bar PB, no need to imagine if "9 bars will turn into/form a pinbar or not".

How do u see this getting resolved? future move?
i'll be watching this too. especially if the price will move convincingly through the 1.57 - 1.58 area (late 2009 support)... if it will, then we might see 1.50 -1.53. by then we can talk about 1.40's

The key, I think, is to doing all your markup/PPZs/trade ideas at home at night so you can just eyeball the chart quickly and move on if nothing is happening.
I did this one week ago, i came home very late and i checked the charts and saw some good oportunities, i even put some pivots on the charts but the i became sleepy and i was to lazy to enter into that trades and the next day when i woke up i saw that i was right about 3 out of 4 trades and i would gain about 200pips ... Im still angry about that...

I have some tp scheduled at 1.55 but this like any longer term trade can evolve. My usual trade M.O. is to snipe and get out. I started experimenting with longer term at the end of 2009 with mixed but promising results. Don't put too much stock in what I'm going to say next but with the dollar strengthening against the yen and the gbpusd already in a longer term downtrend and regularly breaking daily tf trendlines I can't help but be bearish on the pair. I see 1.575 then 1.555 in the not too distant future.

to u, what's the significance of 1.5750 & 1.5550?
1.5750 = weekly support?

curious as always, thanks Sir

For me it was always a vicious cycle.

Few mistakes...losses...panic...more nervous trades resulting in more mistakes...more losses...more panic and so on

Don't forget to clear your head of anxiety if you've lost and excitement if you have won before you move on to the next one, helps tremendously.

dont worry... the fact that u are here says a lot, to me at least.
learning, reading, trading, watching charts... this is not simple (for people your age at least; u could easily be partying o playing sports or whatever right now, instead of trading/reading threads like this)

You & ghous are of the same age. imho, u are lightning years ahead of most guys your age. u are planting seeds for a very bright & early future, just keep it up.

In other words ''clear your head after each trade'' no matter how it ends, wright?
