I like your trade. You got the trend on your side, and the bears that entered on the retracement probably have thinned out liquidity above the .96 level by setting their SL buy orders there (or at .92 on USDCAD for that matter). Therefore, I expect that if price breaks that level you will see a continuation of the trend.
Good luck managing this trade!
Thanks! Stopped out at B/E. Wasn't able to take 1/2 off at the FTA as I'm at work and it's a demo but if it was live I would've phoned that one in

Still goes in the win column

very good DD, this is exactly what we speak about

If you take a loss on this type of setup you are going to be tossing and turning over it. Those bars MUST be managed tight or ignored all together in my opinion.

yes, but this puppy is in a downtrend since a couple of thousand pips.
I (!) will wait for a retrace of about 50% of the outside bar and enter then. read: I!

I have gotten so picky...

I took two trades at the beginning of last week, and shut them both down manually at a couple pips better than B/E when I noticed the market was behaving strangely...

Since then, no trades (I'm talking 4hr charts here)

I've just continued to become more and more strict in the bars I chose to trade, and the times in which I chose to trade.

Last night we had a little BUOB coming off the VBRN on GBPCHF 4hr chart at london open, FXPRO data feed that looks like it has played out nicely so far, but I was sleeping

Still trying to figure out how I can consistently be awake for the London open every night of the week.

Yep, I know this feeling. I see some decent trades posted here, but during the low volume month of August, then lots of (what RyanMCD would call "crap trades"). But it is all part of the learning process.

My last trade was in July. I think, if I remember correctly, I did miss a few good trades in August. But all in all, it is still a flat time of year. Big money is coming off vacation. There are a lot of huge economic policies being debated, especially with Democrats pushing for tax cuts, which is mind boggling. I think a lot of people are currently on the sidelines, until some big decisions are made by our elected officials.

I would rather wait for great set-ups, that I know will win 90%~ of the time, and have almost as good of a rate to run for a little, while, than to risk money on 15 pips here and 25 pips there. I guess I see myself as an investor, not a trader. I am not looking to make quick money, I am looking for good investments so I can grow my net worth.

True.

I can sit here and twiddle my thumbs 90% of the time and pull a solid 2-3%/month.... Or I can be forcing trades and make the same, or less.

Over the last two months, I can say that all the very good setups were more than enough to grow the account substantially, while the mediocre, badly timed trades could have been avoided completely and would have given me an extra 3% last month if I had avoided them completely, risking 1% per trade.

I would be careful here. Price is coming off a strong move from a very over sold and choppy market. This is very late in the day to be taking a trade and the only momentum you might get is just profit taking and people closing up shop for the day/weak selling. This makes me think FTA has to be watched very carefully. This is an easy pass as I think it makes mgmt very difficult

also if we can get away from 1.55 there is more room to work with to the upside. Not that price might not move lower, but conditions are much tougher to the downside with the chop we see. I prefer the scenario below, or say a big continuation BUOB if one forms towards the next london/ny session(say it engulfs 2-3 bars).
