Between this and sloppy price action your hands get dirty either way

Well price has come within 10 pips of hitting my 3rd target.

My stops are at BE + so I am going to kick back and relax with some scotch.
no more new positions.

Rufus,
At first we had the Force 5 min system to enter, I learned a lot from that but I know now that you just have to watch price action. What is a good manner to enter a trade?

Do you wait until de pa begins to move in a strong manner or do you buy at the moment he hits a pp? What is your manner?

From rainy Holland…..

Some nice trades! On your 'round 3' with the EU, you seemed to pull the trigger a lot earlier than me. I waited for the next bar close (for all the F5 indicators to line up). this was already 12 pips later than you entered. Grateful if you could share your thoughts on what made you enter then.
many thanks

Edit: Just posted this at the same time as forexmist. Pretty much the same question!

You caught me.

I did not let the 5m candle close. I seldom do this. 90% or so of the time, I let the 5m candle close.

The pink line on the chart is the Daily Pivot. All day there was a battle ragging between buyers and sellers on this line with buyers winning. I figured when the last buyer was gone this thing would fall like a rock.

Now I don't like to get much more than 25 pip stoploss on 5m chart and I will always place it 7 pips above the last swing high. This is where I wish I could get MT4 on a 3 min chart. I can't so I will at times do the next best thing. 3 - 1min candles close on the other side of my trend line to take a position (see chart). Keep in mind I will only do this if I figure the market was going to rip out of there past my limits for my stop loss. As it turns out the market did rrip out but not as far as I thought it would. The best entry was a few hours latter when price retested the Daily pivot. I was in bed at this point, But you notice how quickly it fell. This was because the buyers were gone, so with each seller the price droped till a buyer was found.

Any way this is a entry method I use occasionally sometimes it bites me in the ass, but hey, thats a part of trading.

EJ short. Good for 20 or so pips. Charts show the correlations I use for cross pairs. Closed out position when EJ hit support and UJ started to climb.

Thanks Rufus
Appreciate your responses to the more fledgling traders amongst us. Gives me confidence that I am least going in the right direction even if the account is not!

Rufus, I just read through your thread, I like your style. Like you I was trading only EUR/USD but I recently added AUD/USD to the mix. I like this pair and all the principles carry over quite nicely. Have you started trading this pair yet and if so, what are your thoughts?
