Lawrence, do you usually open opposite positions on those pairs to hedge your trades?
no, just from time to time

As a post mortem review, and I missed this spike upwards, I just wish to understand from all who opened position in anticipation and took full advantage of the spike.

1) What made you opened a position at the 1.22xx level?
2) How did you decide on which direction it will go - long or short?

Thanks guys. Appreciate it.
It moved passed that previous high around 1.2341 with alot of momentum and I jumped on board. I try to keep it simple

Edit:Looks like it might have resistance on this same line going the other way..I try to just react to breakouts in the direction of the trend

Out of the market at 1.2364. Caught the bottom at 1.2212, after waiting from shorting off the top. I am calling it a day for the moment. The market should give more upside.
I've seen some posts I couldn't answer before as I was busy, but guess the answers are obvious now.

Enjoy your profits guys...I know I will
Right, it's like 2 person enjoying a profit and rest 98 crying over loss..

That's Forex, baby.

Watch out your shorts, it's too early to short.. Just a small reset, that's all it is..

well i had a stupid connection problem with my platform and was in a bad position yesterday with longs opened above 1.23 and shorts at 1.22. i was flat in the asian session. i entered more long around 1.222/1.223 with progressive entry points using an ichi indicator on 30 m tf.
then on second failed at 1.234 around 9 i closed the additional longs.
then on second failed attempt of break of 1.22 which was among others a 23 fibo support from yesterday high and the turn point for the bull movement started in asian sessions i close shorts (some at a small loss) and added longs
which longs i almost all closed at 1.234 .

I usually enter a trade when a trend line is touched 3rd time and I'm confident taking into consideration other things, like views on other time frames and general feeling. But this time it isn't clear yet whether it will go south from here.
