Would have been nicer if I had remembered I was in the trade 20p before I got out. Probably would have rode it down any way.

What am I missing? I went short on a retest of the center channel a minute ago at .48988. The corrective move appears over on my chart.

OK, I'll put my hands up. I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

On both EU and GU I thought we were in the correction phase of a new bullish impulse move. The big green momentum bars and the fact that the previous swing highs were taken out was the evidence I used.

I think I need to post these charts to the main thread and ask Sho to comment cos I got it wrong big time on these trades.
I wouldnt say that sutts Id like to know if that 2nd bar on gbp/usd was a valid entry bar though, it was a corrective move BUT that inverted hammer at the top obviously had precedence for shorting I think this is where expoerience comes into play
market goes vertical .........diagonal......... horizontal this could be consolidation phase

I remember Sho saying that the keltner channel angle didn't matter if you read the impulse moves correctly. I thought I had but obviously I got it wrong.

I think I'll stick to trades with the keltner in future though.

I'm not totally useless, I can always be used as a bad example.
Had two trades today, one went 35 p in my direction the other 18p.
I wound up +2. Do you think money management could improve this situation.

I'd be happy with 7 pips Buildcity. I'm down 32 due to stupidity, lack of common sense and understanding. What a crappy day.
