2 EURJPY Longs. On the higher timeframes price was (sort of) in the 61.8 Fib retrace area. For the first trade I convinced myself the S1 was being observed but as you can see it plainly wasn't and I was just being silly. The redeeming factor of the first trade for me was the way I quickly saw & accepted it was failing and took the loss.
The second trade was far more clear-cut, though I did expend considerable patience and twitchy fingers to get my 40 pips. At 60+ pips all in all an agreeable day for me. It was remarkably engaging and relaxed and never frantic - just what you want from day trading I guess. I still have a lot to do to make my 'workflow' with the method more automatic but I'm pleased with the method, the tools and my progress so far. :o)
ps. To avoid confusion the chart here is an Alpari chart at GMT +1 whereas the earlier charts were ODL at GMT +0 but my ODL MT4 went nuts :o/
