Trading off the M5? Ohh boy! That was an old bad habit of mine that I've been able to keep from resurfacing!
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're gonna see some serious s***.

A/U...

Notice how 150ema is below the 200sma. This just doesn't happen...I don't have anything on record for this in my journal. Price should be below the 150ema. This could be a great buy opportunity or a great sell opportunity. I don't know and therefore will not trade until this clears up. I will however document this in my journal for future reference!

Ya, I used M30 and H1. I just panned down the frame so you could see my entry. Got stopped out but my SL was +5 pips so I at least banked a few.

Oh I see why you showed us the M5 now. Kind of crazy today but made my pips early this morning. I won't trade until A/U clears up but my gut tells me it's going down. Wednesday's are no good for me for some reason. My theory is that the big boys take the day off and head to the golf course or fishing hole which creates unpredictable price swings. I may not trade tomorrow due to my history!

Wish I didn't trail that stop, would have been a 70 pip move
Hit my target perfect though.
The white are where I would be looking at PA for a potential trade

I hear ya, but tomorrow is my pool start date so I gotta be at the desk. Golf sounds nice though

Depending on data and the markets, this is where I would look for a potential trade on UJ if PA takes that route. I would trade a bounce with the trend. Depends on trade time and what markets are running though.

I think there’s a good chance.

1. We’ve been in a down trend since 30th April.
2. 1st hit 11 May bounce back very strong.
2. 2nd hit 11 May bounce back not as strong.
3. Today 12 May 4 GMT struggling to bounce.

Please note, I’m not always right. So don’t bet the house on this and straddle if you think it’s the best way to go.

A/U... so as it turns out that "reverse" 150/200 crossover on M15 that I was so unsure about because it wasn't "right" turned out to be a great sell opportunity. See, PA was supposed to bounce down at the crossover and continue under the 150ma or at least the 200ma.

I've documented this in my journal and will take advantage of it the next time it happens!

Up about 30 pips, set Trailing Stop to 15. We will see what H1 candle brings

How's your day going? Met the quota yet?

Hey everyone. I have not met my quota today due to being lulled to sleep and then having to shut down due to weather concerns. Not much thrilling pa today anyway. I seem to be watching the wrong pairs. lol

I took one trade early this morning... grabbed a few pips and glad that I did before it reversed! I've spent the rest of the morning washing the truck. Probably won't trade for the rest of today. Wednesday's are just bad days for me! So far I'm in the green today so I better not take my chances. Thursday's are usually the best day of the week for me so I can wait plus I've met quota for the week on Sunday so everything from Monday on has been extra dough!

I'll be back to check the thread later today. Good Luck with your trades and I'll see you later!

Ya, PA is pretty slow. Will be watching AU later for the data release. Watching PA now to see if it gets priced in beforehand.

Good to get some sleep though. Been on the desk for only about 6 hours now, and 1 pot of coffee. About to start up another pot. they should have a smiley face for coffee jitters ~~ maybe that
