i have noted you mention we need to exercise patience and wait for good setups.
i myself find this rather difficult to control as the itch to trade is always not easy to restrain, the curiosity becomes so intense believing that it is right to go.
so my compromise is reduce the lot size ha.. ha..
newbies like me are difficult to control our emotions, only painful drawdowns will hopefully etch this into our grey matter
cheers
Hahaha, and discipline will keep you around for a long time, I took a very aggressive entry on that pair with a small lot size, so if it works great if dont that ok too because I have very little on the line, acually my entry was 3 pips earlier than I should have taken and was reluctant to do so but I figured if it worked all the better hence the small lot size.
Draw downs are something I really try to keep to a minumum thats is why my entries are usually to the pip, and my SL are placed accordingly.

I may go days without taking a trade and sometimes even longer patience is the ultimate weapon, let the market come to you dont chase after it, its like a bus stop, if you miss the bus there will be another one just wait for it no sense running after it it might turn around and run you over.

On more real side of things I am also in the EJ and took out 50 pips and moved my SL to BE, I am in with my normal lot size on that pair. I was not as aggresive on this either, I waited until I had a clear indication that the 126.50 was going to hold, we broke the previous days high and then I entered the trade we had the BPC of the trend line and I could have entered there. But I wanted to clear that RN first.

I totally agree with that. Patience will keep you alive (in the markets).

really it will, I closed down the EURAUD trade, the setup is completely gone, so once again aggressive trading seldom works, always wait until the price does EXACTLY as you want it to do in my EURAUD it did not do that it was close but still 3 pips away from where my entry should have been. And even though it was only 3 pips it made a difference.

You have to dictate to the price what you want it to do not the other way around.

My EJ hit my final TP this only an intraday trade based on the ADR because of the holidays I am not looking for any long term trades until next week. I closed it out @ +84 pips.

For those that fear no SNB there is what looks to be a breakout to the downside on the EURCHF pair.

Yes I will explain, I like to have a little clearance after the continuation clears the start of the pullback, I went in the trade before I had that, in anticipation that it was going to go any way, well it didnt, had I waited for my normal routine to setup it would have been fine, but it never made it that far. Hope that helps a little. I always like a little reassurance after it clears the bpc, I think I might be overly conservative many times but thats ok, like I said its my money and I want price to react exactly as I want it too, but in this case I was more aggressive than I usually am.

thanks for the detail clarification, now i know what you meant
we usually take at least 5 pips below the pullback for entry
i fell into this scenario on numerous occasions "anticipating" (which we should not) that all is good for a go, entering once it continues before clearing the low of the pullback
very good point to remember
thanks a lot

I hope it helps somewhat, I know we are not the only ones that see these setups, and some times the bigger players will come in and blast those right of the water so having the extra clearance seems to avoid that more times than not.

The SNB likes to come in and play around, they do not want their currency to gain any more strength so they come in and give the market a nudge every once in awhile.
