Yep the 137 was certainly the very FTA, but you have to decide on your style....
All hail Mike. Would you take this trade again, if you saw the exact same setup? I would. Maybe I might manage the stop a little tightly.

Good excercise is to analyse price on weekly timeframes using the COT data

what is a "COT data"?
How bad do you want it? That's the attitude!

technically not a pinbar because the close is not inside the previous bar.
but looks good, imho. with support of ma and rn.
+75 pips so far. floating at the high of the last swing now. i will take 1/2 off here.

commitment of traders report from the cftc. tells you how many futures contracts are being held long and short.

Another great example of a failed BEOB at a swing high (check out the daily EURCAD people). Bars by themselves (even if they are at swing highs mean nothing). Confluence is what we look for [not bars].

I was looking to go long at the major resistance level turned into support (the PPZ). People were telling me to stay away because we had a BEOB at swing high on daily. It got eaten up like no tommorrow. A great example of a strong PPZ trumping over that BEOB.

you guys are gonna have to learn to hold on the trades and ride the trends. Otherwise you can forget about making money.

Hi Mike,

Oh so really I will just forget it and go ahead with the next one!

Happy to hear you took the same trade (don't confuse with me being happy that you had a loss too, lol ) I just was really worried that something is wrong with me if I take only loser setups when everyone else seem to profit well... so yeah just a loss who cares, I need to improve my overall trading and losses will happen less and less...

I took a full bar loss(one of the few for me this year) on this one too Adi.
Without sounding like I take pleasure in your misfortune here Mike, but this makes me feel a lot better about taking loses . I forget sometimes that even the best traders have to take losses in their stride.

Here's one I'm waiting for a pullback on, not a huge amount of confluence, but four recent rejections on the H4, a previous daily pivot and a big rejection back in November. A strong break through today, I'd like to try and ride it to .9000.

Thanks,
SG

hahah it's ok guys, I know you love it when I lose money

Just playing of course. Believe me I am far from perfect, have losing trades all the time. It's part of it.

Yes eur/gbp is breaking out hard, but has 9000 to contest with also those highs are very important now too

Best
Mike

In my experience it is a lot more profitable to wait for 4h or daily price action and then get on a retrace with a much smaller stop off of the 5min-1h time frame and that way you can get good risk reward. Other wise with full bar stops it you will need some pretty big winners to come out ahead. Otherwise it is 1 step forward then 1 step back when u take a full bar loss. Very frustrating.
