Hey, yes I have my pending order set. But it was not triggered yet.

I usually set my order 10C above/below. But that monday I was late because of some urgent things, so I have put my order after it retraced.

But anyway I think this still has potential. So my order will be iether triggered or if it break to the opposite side I will cancel it.

It is a weekly chart - so things are slow

This is another trade idea for the next week. BEOB shaped as a PB. FTA is close around 26.00 I think.
I would see how price would behave at that level. Further level to take profit may be at around 25.50

My thoughts about this trade. Well I really liked the setup. I would not go to make up reasons for "why this trade didn't work, so I will learn", because as I know from the previous experience this will lead to indecision, confusion and disbelieve in my own methods. SETUP WAS GOOD BUT STOPS HAPPEN!!!

I know I will learn to have less and less stops in the future, but for now, if I see a setup just like this, I will take it again.

Well this was a fast trade! I hesitated a little. My predefined (mental) target was hit so fast that I thought I need to hold to this trade. But then again, why would I hold? We are not in a trending market, it is sideways, kind of choppy environment. So mostly this was a nice looking PB with its fast impact. Will it last? Maybe, but we are not in an uptrend. So I take my profits here.

Besides the PA I like the location. It is not seen on this chart but in my platform I have noticed that this rejection has occured at the all time high. So I believe this is a good setup, if price continues down, the move could be for weeks. Of course I don't need to stay that long, all I want is for the trade to give me good RR return. I see the Void (room to move) down to 62.15 - this will be my target level.

Yes, as I said before it did triggered (broke below) actually more than 10c (where I usually set my orders) the first minutes of market open on monday.

I was away of PC, so it basically saved me from stop, because I have not even started to prepare my order. This is weekly so I'm not in rush usually.

There is nothing to be proud of, it should've been a loss, but if it was never a loss in my platform I cannot list it as a loss

Interesting chart. I was looking at the other BEOB that occurred off the same location a little while earlier. See if you can decipher why that worked out well Ad and hence why your trade stopped you out.

Hello Ghous, well that is really a good question!! Those both look almost identical to me!!! Both are close, very close to the respective FTA's yet first one had no problems shooting through it but mine just bounced of it.

I guess there is something to bar structre, but mine would also fit into technicals of BEOB. I really don't know, I like the bar, location was weak maybe. But again same weak location was at first time!!!????



Could you suggest anything on this, Ghous?
