Existing Home Sales figures were due out. Very risky for me to trade but price had established two double bottoms at a significant level of support & resistance.

I agreed a 10 pip risk. To me, the risk was worth the potential outcome so I went with it.

News came, no real spike, price moved up and so did my SL. First to 5 pips below entry then BE.

A nice trade to end a good day on.

The reason round numbers are mentioned is that may provide support or resistance on their own. Its a mental thing probably and not a part of the S/R levels you use or have drawn on your chart for you ( daily pivot, Fibonacci ect. ) but worth watching.

Build those are nice trades when you get two opposing tails its the equivalent of a goog retrace but without the candle I find

Thanks, I took a serious look on your recent setting and brief comments on entry and exit. I hope I can pick up something and remove my die hard habits. Cos you were rarely found on counter trend trades. Thks for sharing the technique.

Cheers

With news this morning and this afternoon, I was pleased to get this one in beforehand.

But I'm not sure if Sho would approve of me looking at the 5min chart (for divergence and to fine tune the entry) also. I know it worked out very well on this occasion, but whether it's good practice is another thing. What do you think Sho?

Rob

EDIT: On 4hr chart, there was also a good retrace to the 50-61.8% fib zone

gbp +12 out before news now took trade, price hit res area with speed all those long green bars nice retrace, hammer then long, reduced stop to below previous 2 candles double low
I dont know whether I was right or not I think Sho says speed/momentum can override res area so I took it
