That's theoretically where it should go. You can never be sure, though. Just let price tell you where it's headed.

Nothing wrong with that entry. A better entry would have been around 5910 using price action on the H4 chart or 5900 on the M15.

Gotta run. A busy day ahead and it doesn't involve trading.

Good luck!

After reading his post and thinking about what was said in it for a day I feel it necessary to respond to the attacks that were leveled at me. That's right, for those of you who may not already know who Ken was referring to it was me and that is why I feel compelled to respond.

First and foremost I don't consider myself a senior member of this thread but just someone who has been blessed by the teachings of the senior members and the feeling of camaderie amongst the participants in...

OK, it appears some people are having problems with HTF S/R. Here's what I propose to help you see it and not have myself or someone else point it out for you.

If you're having problems, I want you to take your h4 charts and find what you believe to be S/R and post it. We will review it and provide feedback. This way, your using your eyes first and then you can see it from our eyes.

As to the Ken ordeal, I wish Ken the best, I always have and I believe he deserves to be successful trading, whether it's this method or another method that fits his personality. I welcome him back to the thread, but I do want him to take more of a role of posting his trades or his HTF charts so we can assist him. It's pointless to post a chart and say you could have taken a trade here or there if you didn't take it yourself.

This is all I have to say on the Ken ordeal. If he accepts coming back, great, if he does not, then I wish him the best.

Now, trade well!
EO
