That's fantastic AD ..
You gave it a good chance. You had your S/L above a great, proven PPZ level. Price could have easily started consolidating between the 1.54 and 1.52. That's what markets like to do. And you got out before that possible consolidation could occurr.
The strong move down and strong close below the 1.52 was a good indication that Price was moving down further, but the 1.5200 didn't hold that strong.
Next time when your presented with the same scenario . .I would do the same thing . and this next time . .it will...
Still in on this and looking for 1.5.

I believe . . .

I decided to not go with a literal stop X pips above 1.52. Wanted to actually see a daily close above 1.52 for a confirmation of support at the level.

I agree, g. I want to see a Weekly close below the 1.5. Maybe this time it will hold and turn into Resistance . . it didn't happen the last couple of times . .three times a charm . .

Thanks Jarroo for the compliment....still gotta practice a lot with trades..
Keep practising like that and you will see alot of long term trade, my friend.
.You can see the effects of the short term trades at the 1st obvious target which was the 1.52.
One type of trade manageent style is the 1st half postion is a short term trade to the 1st target or FTA. 2nd half postion is a longer term trade position . .meaning moving to break even and letting it ride or moving your stop above (or below) the Close of key levels. ( which you did . .
)Soon you will find a style that fits YOU best .
Great job again, AD.

I would like to see this pullback further and close above the RN.
May be interesting.
Yeah that would be great . . .

Let me see . .you to see Price pull back down further and then close above the RN . .something like this, Pb?
Yeah that would be great . . .
Exactly........You hit the nail on the head Jarroo. As always.
Funny, while I was doing the single bar analysis, I discovered that a bar chart is much easier for me to see PA on, as opposed to candle charts.

Looks like usdchf is breaking a key support area. Are we looking at record lows here?

Yes, that's right. That is confirmation (proof) that its still acting as Resistance . .no close above.
It has more of a Pinnish look then a dojish look. But I would like to see the Close lower then the Open . . .more bearish strength.
Or see Price close below the 1.6100 PPZ level with some Bearish PA . .or of course, some Bullish PA at this confirmed Support level.
Your quite the gun slinger Jarroo, that was a rather prompt critique.
You've taken away some of my key lines and increased the clarity of my chart. Much appreciated.
