Im always a bit wary of trades near big round numbers and breaking new ground downside is good moves lost

nice trades Dave was the gu same as mine break of inv hammer where arrow is

that green inside bar would have been nice
I sold on the close of that inv hammer francis. The official stop was too big for me but the setup looked too good to miss. In such situations I just enter with a fixed 15 pip stop and manage the trade closely. In this case I got spooked.

Another tip is when that trade fails or is b/e I like to go to M1 (dont tell Sho) and draw a trendline across bottoms of price which on pic would also confirm break of inside bar gu to get back in

Thanks for the tip, I've never really looked at the really low TFs before.

Last Monday was our public Holiday. So, I spent all the day to practice trading with all bad trades described in the text book. Trade whatever it seems winning. Hold on a winning trade to see/hope if it can go further. As a result, most trades ended up with lost.

This thread has everything to be successful, but I simply can't follow it even though I knew I can be successful if I am really patient enough to wait for the setup coming to me, instead of tracing the setup.

Today, I decide to use a real account and only make one or two trades per day.

Because it is real money, I double check, triple check, wait, wait for the sign of weakness. Then, entered a market order to short EU. I move the stop loss immediately, after the price drop, to BE. I put the TP just above resistent level. It ends up with 23 pips or A$25 profit. My account has A$300 deposit on it.

No trade with real account today.

I think patient is what it needs the most for all of newbies, like me.

Was your TP based on RR 2:1, 3:1, or different?

(I've set TP at 1.5145 based on 3:1) SL now at BE

Cheers

Morning Sho! I'm ashamed to say I missed that one.

Still 30 up on the day though so can't complain.

I set TP (as above)
Had to leave PC
Came back to see price missed my TP by 1 pip and I was stopped out at BE

In hindsight, I can see that I made an error as the "trouble zone" marked on my chart started at 1.5150.
