Hi Toothman,

Did you enter at the close of the bar that is marked with the arrow or did you enter as soon as it broke the high of #2 by one pip? This is the part I am confused about concerning the 123.

Thanks
Mike

I should have added, I take the trade at the break of 2 which is not the rule for this strategy. Div. waits for the 1 pip break of the MA/CCI cross candle.

Here.
I did call that a few posts back as a possible trade but to use caution as it was getting a little late in session and also eu had no clear direction.
So the time, the fact that i just had a winner, price coming up on support, no clear direction, 5 waves etc kept me out.

I got out with some pips. Can't complain. Need to pay attention to the management of the trade part a bit more. I did not have a tp set but still ended up positive.

Oh yes, I see the support. Good call. And that first trade was trading off of resistance it looks to me.

Looks like we should be seeing a breakout move in the near future.

a few people have asked me why i was going short so here is what i saw this morning... LL, LH, LH

there is no clear trend but there are some important levels to be aware of and imo a definite bias to the downside.. hope that makes sense.

Thank you

That helps so much.

I know this is basic stuff, but extra charts like yours really help.

Best wishes!
