I wasn't too sure if this was a diamond because of the inside sequence, but I woud've had it like this:

Nice setup, but what about stop loss location? The bottom of the breakout bar perhaps, but if price decides to retrace back inside towards the bottom of today's daily range, you'd be stopped out.

Placing stops inside the daily range is not really a good idea, unless you have a pattern of some sort. Beleive me, I've lost a lot of trades because of that.

I think a lot of parts missing for it to be a diamond...

Actually I think Mr.C's diamond makes more sense than my one, the inside sequence on the right side is correct. I wouldn't trade it because by the time lower border is confirmed price would be too far out for me to place a reasonable stop outside the daily range low.

First the location and then i can't see a triangle on either sides of formation...

Here's your triangle. If you would say that you can't see a triangle on the left side I would answer that the objective targets of a diamond and a triangle are measured the same way so it makes no big difference. Location: can't it be a continuation pattern? Having in mind that the target is ~125 pips and it almost perfectly coincidences with the AMR. Daily, weekly and montly MM - up.
Didn't really understand what template you have used to trade the pair. Could you post a chart, please? As I can't see any orders there on your previously posted chart.

I am still amazed how many people keep their egos on the grill. Sharing is caring my friends. If you want to measure your dick sizes then theres a way for it but if you want to be pro's trading micro or demo accounts and talking like some hedge fund managers then all I can say is good luck. Sooner or later you will understand that here we are all in the same boat as big man said thats going on a one-way trip to destruction. So think about this for a minute before you start posting funny stuff and don't forget to be humble

"A trade taken based on a retrace with anticipation of break on 4th approach". It is your setup and your logic.
Thanks anyway. Don't bother with your statement.

DJI diamond broke into continuation thus changing main move of the year to up. For now the next reasonable target is located around 11900 and most likely to be reached until the end of the year IMHO.
And some 24 days later we at 11900...funny thing is my birthday is exactly at the same date
