SL got hit. Break even.

SL moved to break even @ 1.2561. We're near the major resistance @ 1.25 and the possibility of a significant bounce can't be ignored.

Well, here I go again NOT following the rules and trying to be smart. A little bit scared to lose money. Shame on me! I have to do a better job next week.

Don't beat yourself up about learning, thinking happens.

Thanks Bankshot, but I was frustrated that I didn't follow the rules (now that I have a good set of rules). I'm not really that mad at myself, only more determined than ever to do my job.

I'm now waiting for the market to enter the DMZ (above the MA's) and break down below again.

The market is now officially in the DMZ. Waiting patiently for a break down below it.

Man, it's going down! Fast! You would have to go down to a 5min chart to spot a retrace in this move.

I'm waiting for a retrace on the 1H.

Too tired. The time is 11.53 here in Sweden. Hope I don't miss the trade during the night.

We'll see how this trade go... but,

That is not a top. You are entering to early.

I'll comment on this specific trade once it ends.

(don't let this post distract you from your current trading attack plan)

I think you mean that the low of the last candle isn't below the low of the previous candle.

The attack plan is to let the sell stop get hit or, if the market goes higher than 1.2223, I'll cancel the orders.

I'm assuming you entered into a sell because you can see a retracement.

According to the chart there is no retracement as of yet.

Sorry, let me explain what I was referring to "top":
"Top" top of the retracement
"Top" where you place your stop loss
"Top" Lowest high

I know. I placed my orders because I had to leave for work and it looked like it might end the retrace. If it didn't, I would only cancel the orders.

Ah I see.

That's what I wanted to point out. If there is no objective visible retracement/ or candlestick reversal patterns, then there should be no entry. Even if one think they can see a possible retracement, remember a classical advice "Trade what you see, not what you think."

If it was an order waiting to be triggered, then it should be ok. Yeah, I truly understand when one has to work or has other commitments. Its very tough.

If you have nothing better to say, please don't say nothing at all.

Don't make yourself feel good at the expense of other people's emotion.
