Long EUrJPY at 123.74; target around 124.00. Not an A grade setup but looks OK.

It hit the overhead resistance around 123.85; took my exit at 123.86 for 12 pips. +7 for today, best so far this week.

Well I haven't had any losing days for several weeks, but 2 and 5 pip days feels like losing, especially when it takes as much effort to make 2 as to make 20.

i know what you feel, its the same here.
last week only little profit and this week also looks poor by now but its not over yet.
last week i missed a lot and i dit some bad mistakes otherwise the profit would have been better.
this week i am much better but the market is slow, specially eurusd my favorite pair causs less then 1 pip spread.
hope euro will show more movement next week

I think Sho mentioned that E/U is ranging without direction.
Could be better next week as it looks like it is waking up slowly.

Nice result, but I would hesitate to short as the K. Channel was still in up trend.

But GY is not in my watch list so you may get better feel on its pattern.

Long E/J at red arrow, but stopped out one bar before it went my direction a few bars later.
Entered at that bar which is actually not as good as the pinbar 2 bars before.
Decided to enter anyway because the previous bar closed above.
Did not get out even had chance to breakeven because subsequent 2 bars were both pinbars, and so showed that there was buying pressure.

Is the interpretation correct?

it closed green.
did you short?
I think it may be better to wait for the break of bar because it is an inside bar.

What do you think?

Hi City

I did that trade because it was with the trend.
I find that KC is lagging and can only serve as a guide.

youre right , thats why i watched very close if price breaks the high of the IB. i wwould have bailed out with 4 pips risk.
and that is also the reason that i have closed the trade on the way back after 5 pips in gain but could not break the low of the IB .

yes, in a situation like this, the KC is lagging and i think an entry is legal to the rules cause the momentum shows strength

you are fast with your decision.
So you don't usually wait for a break of the IB?
