Hey Sho,

would really like to know your opinion on this ej short trade.
I saw a nice down trend and momentum, so i entered on this retrace pinbar..some mins later I got stopped out with a 40pip loss.
As far as I know the setup is acceptable the only thing i ask myself is, if you would have entered this trade inspite of the fact that the stoploss was about 40 pips?

As a conclusion I believe that on the 15min timeframe we should only take trades with a max. sl of 30 pips.. or do I get something wrong here?

Any answers would be much appreciated!...
Hi Xeqter I am not Sho or senior,so it is just my opinion.I think momentum on your side is first step,second signal bar location,thrid size of signal bar.

A quick breadfast in early morning play, don't expect too much in early Asia session

Purely Sho's way - but should be applied in faster market move.
Hi City,
You do great job but in my opinion this was pretty risky entry long as longer time momentum is down and pretty nice size PB bounce from resistance above him with div.I think.Anyway u are good in this so u managed very well.
Happy trading to u.

Tks mate, I used to play MTF sometimes before, this approach did make me so boring to sit in front of the screen but do nothing. I find Sho's lecture is particular good on this issue as all we should concentrate is the M15, for longer TF, say H4 and daily chart, those for me is to identify the major s/r, and nothing else.

I think my strategy (at least at the moment) is to quick in and out, all I needed is the immediate momentum.

I do agree that the MTF play would probably the safety way to play when all green lights are on. But its not my personality.

Tks mate again, all we have to do is to develop our own edge.

Cheers
City

There were a number of bullish tell-tale signs on the higher time frames. Generally speaking there was a lot of support holding price up.

Waiting for 15 min entries using Sho's method, we had two very good opportunities to go long this morning.

IB 1 is banked and has paid my daily wage.
IB 2 is my bonus.

EDIT: I don't trade based on fundamentals but the fact that Britain had a new Prime Minister sworn in last night might well have boosted the pound.

Was this a valid Inside Bar ?

I mean its against 1.5 and yesterdays high, as we know RN are important

i think all these S/R lines are keeping me away from trading

Hova it's an IB but we need to take care because of the S&R zone below.

We have Bank of England speeches and news in just over an hour and the market "might" decide to pullback before any continuation up.

No guarantees but trade with care.

Peter,

Well done banking the pips. That's great.
I believe you entered short, just after that last bull bar.

That would have been beyond my appetite for risk.
We should remember that trend lines are there to be broken and respected.
The important thing is to use price action to help us make our decisions.

Thank you, you are right, momentum was too bulish, I guess. Was lucky to escape.
But on the other side, I had 9pips SL and was aware of the risk, therefore exited early.

Hi,

Have taken a long position on SGD-JPY @ .6720 … Trend is up and this pair recently broke out of the daily resistance trend line. Ignoring last weeks insane volatility, we have had several retests of this trend which now is acting as support.. I think this pair could push to .7000

Daily chart attached.
