Patience and a lot of screen time. Study how price moves, how it forms continuation patterns and how it forms reversal patterns, how price moves at a key level of S/R and round numbers.

Above all else have an exit strategy.
Also if you see a reason to exit a trade before it hits your Stop Loss, then don't hesitate as the first exit is usually the cheapest.

Hi all no trades so far today for me. Looks like we might retrace a bit now the upper TL has been broke may go and test extreme and make LH setup.
and Vantage can you have a look at the chart below and tell me if this is what you call a 2B.

Thanks
It went 1 pip higher so I suppose that qualifies, so whether its really a 2b or DT is about the same. I'd like to see pa go a few pips higher to say its a 2b though.

Off to make some lunch.

For a while there I was guessing that your unofficial stop was if first RB closed against your position, then if 2nd bar continues against you then you exit. I was just wondering.

Out +1.5pips reason a HL on the 5min.
And I think I gave it long enough I'd rather look for another trade when it breaks out of this little range.

Morning all.

GU yesterday a nice doji so I'd normally be thinking up from this obvious supp at 5550.

However the move up was very quickly pushed down in US session. So I'm thinking a push down from here, we'll see if 5510 is defended as strongly as Y. If yes then 125 range up may start from there, if not rare down day with no LO head fake move up.

Morning V. I'll guess we'll see what PA brings. Can I ask a question about 2B reversals? I seem to have quite a few failures in contrast to your other set-ups. Is it just me, or are they perhaps just a little less reliable? Thanks.

I don't think they are less reliable but as always I'd choose my battles. So you'd need to see nice M or W pattern at a key level. Also 15 min should still make sense candles/vol. I wouldn't take 2b (or hl/lh) against a strong trend unless you reasons are really clear.

There was an ej 2b set up that worked a little better than this gu we took.

Gu lh sell from 7RB, against the 15 min but the last close was pos but zero follow through. Was perhaps a little risk and we traded below normal. Exit at bounce from 25 for +16.

I hope a few people made some pips on that run south on E/J and G/U. +21 for me on E/J , with exit near my target of XX50. I should have reversed for a some more pips (Islander style)

We had just gotten in the gu sell.

Then we had a -13 on an ej hl after 3 big lower wicks on 15 min.

Don't often do this but the move up was strong post news. Exit on RN for +20.

That's it for me - dinnertime now. Small loss on a failed 2B reversal (again) and +21 on another trade for +2.0% equity gain. There were not many opportunities on E/J that I could find. Good trading guys.
