Sorry, didn't want to come across as pushy!

I entered the trade and think 0.972 might be a good PT, if that breaks It can even go to 0.968
No, I was just about to say that I didn't mean for that to sound as "flip" as it did.

What I should have said was never get in a trade because someone else is in it...although we all have done exactly that...at least I have on many occasions.

There needs to be a reason to enter a trade. Looking at the H1 chart and the RSIs, I beleive a reason to enter is there. It has become a ZC trade now.

No Probs at all!!

I now understand completely what you meant.

My morale is really down after the bad trades I made and I just have to ad the bad luck on the "potentially" good trades as well, that I'm now trying to grab onto anything that seems like its gonna work.......

.....and as you just said I SHOULD NOT be following blindly but make my own informed decisions.

PS. It is nice to follow someone like you though!

Hi jdcompute,

first of all congrats, i am a little confused by your chart however

a) your 2 horizontal lines for the 4hr BO channel only take into account the first 3 candles??

b) in post 12698 (EURAUD) LG was explaining how she avoids fake out breaks, looking at the example she posted it appears that the 1hr candle that breaks the channel she marks the low/high of that, then looks for a 15 min candle to close outside this secondary range

what is the actual rule??, I thought I was getting the hang of it but am now confused again and...
Hey John. My 2 lines do include a total of "four" candles with the first one being at the period separator. As for the entries, I did time one of them by using the 15min chart but not the other. I'm still learning the "rule" for the entry.

LG,

No..all manual. You don't have to be glued to the monitor though. Just look for setups when you can. They happen 24/7.

For 3 Tap Trades: Try to keep the entire list of pairs RSIs/Arrows posted permanantly on a chart and when you have time, glance at it and see which pairs have RSIs confirming in the 3 TFs we are concerned with....then look for set-ups.

For H1 BOs: Check the charts anytime after the first 4 hours of your new day. London session is best, no doubt about that, but I never trade that time and I do pretty well.

Hi LG, that's an interesting trade on EURJPY, I know you might have taken this into consideration, but I wanted to point out some "trouble areas" for PA, AKA resistance levels that I found near the entry price, might be good to check them if anyone else got into this trade...

It's so good to be here learning FROM and with you guys!! great day to all..

I disregarded some of that doji wick and my lines will not draw exactly as I want them, they seek levels. I am not sure this will be a good trade.

Got in late on this one but still took +39 on a short down to the support line. It may go lower but I'm happy.

**EDIT: I closed this trade out at -11. It's not moving and I can't watch the chart like I need to right now.
