Hi Graeme,
From my point of view you cannot contribute enough! Every day is like been back at school. I have had a frustrating day today. I seem to be moving my stop to b.e. to soon and then get taken out. Do you have any advice on when would be a good time to move stop to b.e. on 5 min chart.
Regards,
Ben
Good question, Ben

Im prepared to lose few pips and move stop loss when the trade is away from danger.

If price reverts as soon as I enter then I will wait for the close of the 5min candle and then close it out.

The price should never revert back to your entry and then close above if your sell position/below it if your buy position.

That is sign to close with loss.

Until the above happens I will leave the entry with no stop loss for until the move develops.

Some days are great and some days are slow. Please do not be disheartened. I know you are a bigger person and you will make it.

Sincerely,

Graeme

Paul1,

Please have a look at last week on eur/usd. Mon, Tues was great upward movement followed by a stall and crash south causing the completion of weekly candle as a down candle. Thurs and Fri who have made more profit then what you would have lost on mon, tues.

1.27128 is triple wick bounce on eur/usd 5min. Im expecting a flying buddha very soon and I will enter will flow.

Sincerely,

Graeme

Am I contributing too much into this thread?

Sometimes less is more and I feel that I have lost few readers.

Does anyone have any questions for me?
You're doing a fantastic job here Graeme. Am following very closely how you trade the 5 mins. As for me, the more you contribute, the better as things become clearer.

Thanks.

Thanks Graeme,
It really helps when you post your entries because it means we can retrace what your thoughts are and when you decide to enter. That is priceless for me.
Kind Regards,
Ben

Thank you Ben and Lee

I thought maybe it was too much and more confusing than adding clarity.

I just added a sell position after the breakout down on eur/usd 1.27056 on 5min.

Triple wick bounce with breakout to south with momentum. I could have done a better entry and anticipated the wick bounce and entered closer to the top of the wick for tighter entry.

I will close this position if price comes up and closes above it.

I will think of a better and faster way to relay my thoughts to all readers who might be interested.

Sincerely,

Graeme

Graeme, I just noticed. This is really helpful to kind of get a kind of over the shoulder look at what is going through your mind as you are looking to participate in the flow... Thanks. Bruce

update

im out on eur/usd for -3 pips.

Price closed above my sell entry. That is a fail.

When I enter I expect momentum to the intended direction.

This places me 3 losses with total of -17 pips on eur/usd.

Thank you for the compliements.

While we were debating on eur/usd, eur/jpy had a clear flying buddha breakout which we missed.

eur/usd is over for me for today. I will hold onto 2 positions at 1.27262 and move on.

I will flick around now and enter on other pairs live for all

I like aud/chf at the moment.

If price closes below 0.92666 I will enter sell

Looks like the flying buddha that played out few bars ago is still in effect.

Im entering 2 sell positions on 1.41811 of eur/aud, hard stop loss @ 1.41920.
