Entered before the break . . gutsy. or did you enter on a lower time frame setup?
I set a buy stop on H4 at 1.5150 because it opened around 5130.

So it was just an . . "at the open of the PB entry". Like I said , its gutsy. is your stop loss below the PB?

Ive already taken half my trade off the table and moved the other half to break even. The trade went into profit almost immediately, but usually I use a 100 pip stop loss since I trade daily and weekly charts.

I see.

A break of a PB from the Open, meaning Price doesn't go lower then the Close of the PB and then breaks the PB, is a good sign of strong momentum of that PB. All things being equally, meaning the PB is of high quality.

Protecting yourself priority #1. Very nice.

Also after reading the past few pages now I see why I make money every week. Just remember when you take a CT trade I am going to be on the other side 80% of the time, as well as the banks, hedge funds, and other big players.....
Hi ryan,

Will you be on the other side this time round against 80% of this thread for gbp trade

Yeah, I don't either. lol

I will at times take a low risk entry as a "scout" of a larger setup to test the water, so to speak. I just don't post them.

Obviously I like the Weekly GJ PB. Athough not the best PB in structure and such. As we get closer to the London Open, I may like it more or I'll be out of the trade.

Yeah, I saw your earlier posts on that beauty, Dan. I missed that one.

If you have different data feeds (meaning different brokers) you'll notice that it was picture pertect on almost all feeds. Interesting.

Hey simjas,



First of all, it's important you understand why this isn't an A+ trade, and I think you already got a bunch of great replies on it.
Just for the record, I did not take this bar live, but I like demoing any less than A+ setups just for the sake of tarde management practicing. On my feed, that bar never broke lower and my order did not trigger.




Lets pretend for a moment that this was an A++ setup, it broke, and failed.
SO WHAT? THAT MEANS ABSOLUTELY N-O-T-H-I-N-G !

The thing is, trading is just a complete opposite world...
Ben, I can't believe you're only 17 this year... bravo

Yes it is sChoas.

Check all the A++ setups (or just A+) that appear on all data feeds at the same time. It is an interesting study.

i think it's a silent trend... traders are getting younger & younger

if Sir james16's thread creates enough great traders, i believe the world will be a much better place (paying it forward in a multitude of ways)

I hate to say it, but I think this thread has had A LOT of traders read it, but refused to follow the rules and vanished....
