Did I mark the trigger bar correctly in the attached chart?

If your arrow is pointing at the second-to-last candle, then no it's not a trigger. The CCI is not above 50 on that candle.

Friend,

Those trades are against the trend. Price needs to break the 1.3980 area to look for shorts.

Looks fairly clear to me, but Div will have the final say.

dortFX,

I think you can call these "aggressive" trades. They do not go against the basic rules but they are more risky because the OVERALL trend is still bullish. still 5M started to make LL and LH and signals did come up. I took those trades for quick 8 pips each for a small size, no more.

fun

Hi guys

Attached is an EU chart from yesterday.

Would you take the most recent swing high to be the area around the dotted red line, or would you use that really high spike candle?

Many thanks in advance.
