update of my EUH4 chart from this morning check out the TL rejection ... looks set for a big drop
I like your chart, mostly because of what it says

we had supply entering the market at that levels, we're holding on this for now...


Personally, I'm still working on taking profit, because all my calls have been goon except the exits could have been better.
Not sure if I should go TP twice SL or exit on same entry criteria.

You guys using fixed tp?

I am in the same boat , Gabe - the way I see it is that there is nothing wrong with closing a trade before your intended TP , but only if the market dictates it - I think there comes a time when you analyse your own behaviour and you know when you are closing early out of fear as opposed to closing early due to market behaviour - I have seen this in myself - doing good analysis then taking profit at just a few green pips when I get over excited (emotion)

Even to just see this occuring in myself has helped me to improve on this , though. I have gone from being to hold just 10 or so to 20 , 30 ,50

To align yourself with the market you trade should be the goal , when I looked at the size of Price swings on cable for example on a daily basis using H1 charts and then looked at Azim's trading , I saw that he was more closely aligned to that market than anyone else I'd seen posting on FF - nothing mystical about it , he was/is targetting the types of moves the pair frequently makes , quite simple really ... a great inspiration

That's smart and makes sense, Azim is wise. That's why I'm trying to let the market dictate my exit, makes much more sense, thanks for the input.

My trading and analysis are very mechanical, not much emotion involved.
But greediness, taking as much as I can, still gets me thinking about TPs.

I only use fixed TP on set and go positions...which are rare for me.

I set my SL according to previous price action ... candle formation ,S/'R...etc.
.
If i cant afford the SL as i percieve it... i dont trade it.

Wormie taught me to do this last year when i was starting out.

I've just taken profit on GBPU for +40p wich is more than my stop was, I move the stop anyway as market moves.

I did it because I'm seeing lack of selling pressure and volume is drying up, we are at the neckline chaz mentioned

Chaz, I'm taking profit too mate, different analysis same TP it seems.
Volume gave me an up signal, there could be some demand later.

Looking to take some off at the neckline ...
here's an example of what I was saying - I'm taking half the position off 10 pips early (16030) so taking 40 instead of 50 - don't feel so bad about it - to get that at this time of day is a bonus anyway , and heck , let's face it , I don't really know what the market will do next with absolute certainty still looking to reload it

If we stay quiet till midnight (BST) and close , say at this level - this would give me a new DP about 16055 (H+L+C/3) , EMA21 would be coming into this area too at the same time (looking for dynamic S/R here) ... this is my idea for a reload (so far)

I expected some demand after i took profit and we have it now. This last M30 bar will be significant as volume is rising.

I will reload if I see supply coming in with volume confirmation, let me know when you reload so I can check my charts and see if we're in the same boat.

Nice posts. Volume trading is something that I know nothing about, so it's cool to see other styles of trading

Edit: Except that I went short GJ the same spot you went long lol

I think 16025 will hold for now , the DP will be tested at 16067 then a rejection down toward 15985 area and if that goes , a challenge of MAR28 low 15940 area
I'm long 16029 SL 16014 TP 16060 with pending short @ 16060 SL 16090 TP 15990 ...

Careful with a long from here! Those are some nasty 4 hour candles, and a mean daily close as well.

Out of GJ for +10 and now flat, Short Cable from 6035 - just closed half, really can't get behind a long right now.

I'm out of here, best of luck guys.

Volume is different and hard to digest at first, I mean you don't want to believe markets can go down on bullish news right?

It's great to have many styles of trading so we can verify each other, I personally wouldn't give up on a strategy that works for me to trade on volume or anything else, because it works for me looking for better strategies can be confusing, it's better to stick with a thing and master it.

Edit: closed my usdchf for just +7 pips, we have some supply now.
