FX any advice here bro?

My plan for what it's worth.
Entered at 64 now at 40 after a deeeeeep retrace.
Weathered that and we're still in with a series of lower highs. and an attempt to get beyond the most recent high failed. How it behaves if it retraces through that - speed/momentum matters.

It's got to be worth waiting for a new attempt at that low low, and if it fails then can reassess the pace/momentum of the retrace. My Sl is at 58 so I can't lose if there is some terrible spike and price has room to breathe.

Approaching the the day's low at 20 as you pointed out. If she breaks through that who knows when the next resistance will be - and we'll be laughing. Ha ha - out at 52

Reviewing the day - there is no point playing a smartarse like I did with my overcomplex bullshit onthe short trade this afternoon - the plan is the best course of action - ah, it is so much fun this... in the pluses for the day so I'm happy - but work to do in cultivating the Gump mentality again. Thanks everyone for your great example - living and learning as always. I Lerve the Family.

I tried once more to put myself in the driver seat before the FOMC (I have to take that FXA 600 pipper sometimes) at the EE FCR for long but got out at BE because of the WR (dont you just love this shortcuts).

See you all tommorow.

Todays trades.

I am beginning to appreciate what "loopiness" is. I have been used to taking a lot of notice of individual bar shapes with quite zoomed in charts. Now I see why fxa has bars squeezed much more closely together, with the chart zoomed out more than I am used to. This makes it easier to see "loopiness". It is also a "fuzzy concept" which means it is hard to apply rules to it, lol...

thanks for the lessons today, fxa, your post 14403

Quoting fxachilies

lets get this straight then i tell why i did hold my trade from my postion and what you were supposed to do in your postition..

thank you.
started me thinking how a traders response to a situation is not just dictated by what the the bars are doing on the chart, but by his "exposure" to the market, whether he is in a "strong" position and can afford to be more flexible with the market's cash, versus if he is in a "weak" position where the same set of bars means it becomes the trader's cash at risk. A good lesson.

Sorry I didn't bookmark it so can't point you to that post.
WB = Weak breakout, WR = Weak resume
