Tested that yesterday morning with EUR/CAD. Trend changed just after my entry and it went to SL. I think that it will probably be safer later in the week (after wednesday?) when you have a clearer wiew of the weekly trend. Also stock open/close times can have an effect to these? Maybe if you have a trend which seems to continue over stock opening/closing times and keep a close eye on them during those periods.

Just theorising here. If I remember correctly LG also tested this approach, but I dont know her experiences with it.
We do not take 3 taps on 1H because the trend can change quickly, but you can if you want to. Minimum would be the 4H with the right setups and trigger.

9700 will give us about 25-30 pips. I have marked my chart with 3 possible resistence levels. If PA does not clear the first one at 9680, I will probably exit the trade.
Out with -16 pips.

Classical BO on H1 with confirmation on M15 (see attachment, M15 arrows indicate buy-in/going long). For the safety-conscious, one could have waited for the second M15 candle to finish, would have been just in time as well.

Just beautiful. Out with +62 Pips, daily target reached, though I should have been waiting, cable is still bullish as hell.

Looks like alot of us caught this move. Good trading guys!

LG, did you set a pending at 11:00pm or shortly after before going to bed? Or did you stay up for London opening? Just wondering, didn't think you liked pending orders.

It looks like thinking moreless about BO. I think that it need to clear 120.055 area to confirm the upwards move, what are your thoughts?

Indeed, the fundamental news item pushed it up much higher than expected, though with the spadework in a technical sense, you could have anticipated the (eventually fundamental triggered) move already an hour earlier.

Thanks for your technical analysis. This move was caused by a much greater than expected news item and therefore is a fundamental move.

No, I couldn't sleep so got up around midnight and caught that move. Just luck. I don't use pending orders much anymore as the market is too quirky this year.

Ha! Ha! Don't mean to laugh but we have those same problems. We build fences for deer and elk were needed and if that does not work we may have to hunt them. Rabbits, fine mesh screens or trunk gardes made of plastic work or hunting them during the winter. Our biggest problem during the snow cover is voles. The will eat the cambium layer all around the trunk or roots. Then we must bridge graft the tree to save it. Gofers can be a big problem on young or dwarf trees. We bait or trap them.

okay..spent the morning learning by experience that even though price may close above/below the scout line, if there is a pivot right after, wait until price clears that as well. so, a B/E morning for me.

BE is a win. Chalk it up as a lesson learned. Go back and see if you maybe jumped in to the trade to quickly. Just like baseball, the game is 90% mental.
