I can't exacty remember.. I didn't like what the PA was doing. And it worked out well. I got out for 11 and then it ran back up and I took it again and let it run for 60.

And EO the reason I got out at +60 was because the price started running back up and it happens so much that I'm up huge and price runs back up and I end up closing for half of what I was up. Just wanted to lock it in I guess.. Something I need to work on.
That is EMOTION that is affecting most trader. From what I see from EO explanation, you let chart tells you with price action to know when to exit
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND EXCELLENT IS ATTENTION TO DETAILS.

Yes chart helped thanks EO. Im guessing PO is pending order.. How do you set pending orders when shes dropping like that? Like how old were the orders?

Yes, PO is Pending Order, I set them after I see the PA I'm looking for if I feel price is still going to push up a little and it usually does.

Anyone trading the mistress, better go look at your h1's and tell me what do you see? If you tell me it looks nothing like the m15 chart I posted, please leave.
EO, the chart you posted is great, and 1h looks exactly like it
(without the last candle... )

Now we wait for 15m PA for good entry long?

OK, in all honesty, I doubt we will get a major move back up on the mistress this time of day, but, we are going to get a DBLHC, IB, Inverted hanging man on the h1.

NO, I cancel the PO right away if it doesn't get filled. I've had that F'up before and it was costly. I make sure to clear them out and if I set one when I'm tired, I set it with TP and SL in tact as well incase I fall asleep.

being the time of day it is, I would look for her to range out between the 127.3x area and 127.7x area, SL on longs should not be greater than 127.15

Remembe, our daily is bearish and we need to respect that, this is only good for 1h, afterwards, the PA if not confirmed in this h1 will be gone.

I don't use S/R on the m15, only my HTF, h1, h4, daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi annual and yearly
Oh that's interessting. Minor S&R lines on the 15 min tf don't play any role for your scalp trades?

Dak, it's always a pleasure to trade with you. You're system works for you and DON'T change it. I'm glad that I was able to provide some MA's that you've incorporated. As to the pippage, well, yes there have been weeks that I've cleared over 2K pips in a week, but that's when I'm trading 2 pairs London and US. In all honesty, I could just trade 1 day, 1 trade per week and be done.
knowing your cosistency and skill i'm SURE you could be done in 1 trade per week. but come on now...what fun would that be?

When price is ranging, I do define my range on the m15, but I don't need lines to do it. I'm usually going from the top and bottom of the range back and forth.

Price has gone into the 127.3x area and I hope some people have taken the opportunity to play the h1 PA. Now, longs want price to get over 127.8x ideally.
