Down ... not quite a tank, but down (5 minute chart). Still short on the 5 min from like 40 minutes ago.

As they say ... opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one.

There's very few on FF that have walked the walk and talk the talk. Those that have make monthly withdrawals from their b0rker others are funding their account.
ok no comment about it.

Target?
Very seldom do I have a definite target. I do use fibs and fans though. I also use s/r. I'd look at 1.4154 area though.

I personally prefer the 5 minute chart because that's where I'm the most successful....
just some notes ,

1)15 trades per week can be normal and not over trading if you are using 5m charts and you are very good trader . I could say starting 20 trades can be over trading . (average 2-4 trades per day )

2)5m chart is irrelevant for the traders who use daily and 4h charts , higher time frame is essential for any trader . I personally open monthly chart first before reaching 1min chart !.

you can't skip analyzing the dominant trend or move this is basics of technical analysis .

3) (this is personal view ) ADX is an indicator just like any other just taking space on your screen to tell you what you already know .

I agree with your fifth point .
I SEE YOU !!

For the record, I closed this dumb ass trade at 4216, for a -10. Just dumb.
Why do you think it was a dumb-ass trade?

Until they conclude, all short term trades with reasonable tps and sls stand equal chance.

Did you REALLY accept the risk before jumping on this trade? If yes, entry was OK but exit was whatever you may like to call it.

The most prudent thing to do at this time is to wait for the next week, no matter what is you account balance now.

Many lose heavily because they either once again want to see a certain account balance after losing some of their profits OR they try to recover their losses. This urge is very high on the last trading day of the week or in the last few trading hours.

We all should trade professionally and prudently.

Because I traded outside my nornmal hours. I waited all day London and did not get a setup. Then late NY I see one and take it, when I know that it is a horrible time to trade for my method. Dumb.

Exactly my thought on every point.
Only the 5th point is where we all agree.

Anyway...back to trading...Frankie is in the place!!

Indeed...that's why i stop trading once London is closed.
But sometimes its tempting to trade after London closing...but you regret it very soon.

Hope it will be a nice day for us...for everyone!

You are a smart person. You realized and acknowledged a mistake.

Jessi Livermore used to wait weeks for proper set-up and time, once he did not find his set-up in three years.

Thanks. I may trade short term, but that does not mean I have to trade every day. I guess the most difficult thing in this business is not trading.

At the moment I have no positions open........ hesitant to go long even with a weak $, IMO euro zone has some ghosts in the closet and when they finally escape a drop will be in the cards. For now...... observing

2pm and 3pm of what time zone?

I am a bit confused since last night. Cannot trust Forex Factory's schedule becuase in last couple of years the change was a bit untimely.

Can anyone please confirm:

Frankfurt opens at 3:00 AM Eastern Time (NY time) - in one hour and 40 minutes
London opens at 4:00 AM Eastern Time (NY time) - in two hours and 40 minutes

Thanks.
