will watch it as a BO trade...closed my late entry 3 Tap for +6 pips. I'm happy with that.
That was probably very wise, as it looks like the pair is losing steam.

No, I got out the trade with +40 pips. But kept watching it...moved by 3 taps up and entered again. I'm in it again for the second time today/tonight.

LG, I am in EURJPY since 114.7, would you think the 115.2 take profit as a week s/r level would be appropriate?

That's almost exactly where I put mine, just a little under that resistence level. How are you doing, BTW? You have been very quiet.

LG...do you often put the trendlines at the top of the wick as you did here?

Does it give you better entries?


Thanks

LT, my trendlines are extremely sloppy and are not exact in any way, so don't look at them for precision. I usually try to avoid the wicks for BOs, but we do consider them for 3 Taps.

Yen pairs would have gone the other way if they had intervened. Must be related to those JPY news though...

In nice 3 Tap trade....entered at 114.70(initial sl 114.90)
Took most out at 114.20 (+50)
Got some still riding with Sl at +10

LG, got 2 questions...
Took trade with H1,H4,D RSI's down. W M was up. Would you have looked at this one?
2nd Chart shows 15m graph with red arrow on bar where I entered. Was my entry to early?

Love this thread!! Thanks LG you are doing a great job and all other contributors.

Cheers

Having been ultra cautious all week and done pretty well, I totally blew it this morning and gave it all back plus a little bit more.
I rarely if ever trade on NFP day and will revert back to that rule no matter how enticing trades may look. No-one to blame but myself.

Lesson learnt - again! Roll on next week!

Lawgirl21 thank you for sharing your 3tap strategy
It gave me my first 80 pips in one trade tonight in EUR/USD 1hr TF
this is one strategy that has given me the confidence to place a live trade. I will stay with it as long as it works
