[quote=eohater;3423561]Shilva, I have longs from the bottom of the wick that are targeting 611x. Not sure when or if we'll get there, but your eye is right on for the PA presented.[/quot

Never fear my friend....u have taught me well. I will be taking the shorts just as aggressively as the longs.

DBHLC it will be. PO around 5988-5991 with a Tight SL around 6015 could yield some nice pippage.

Trade safe everyone!

so guys... i was obviously stopped out... but i can't see where and why it was a bad trade, or what i should have watched... higher TF, but the daily candle is stil "shaping"...

any explanation to what i should have seen that i didn't?
If you look at the 4hr it still looked quite bullish at that time and although the 1hr closed as a doji its close was higher than the previous candle's close. It also just means indecision, and as the 1hr 62 was pretty close I would have been inclined to wait to see if it reached it before putting the trade in. If I wanted to go in early from a signal from the 1hr I would have had to have my stop loss behind the 62.

Thats just my opinion though, others might have a different view.

The more you practise the easier it becomes. Be prepared to let a trade go if you are unsure, there is always another trade. A no trade is also no loss just take your time learning, but when you are sure don't hesitate "pulling the trigger "
