DislikedThis morning the central pivot point is capping EUR/USD but my sell levels are 1.4385 and 1.4400. Buy levels are 1.4325 and 1.4300. I will open positions around these levels only if the price action confirms the signal.Ignored
DislikedYou are right about the 1.4440. There is a barrier at 1.4450 and it should be protected. My long entry this morning was made with the idea that this barrier should be attacked. I didn't like the PA and missed the sort position.

Yes sometimes I will let a trade go buy my entry point because for some reason I think I will get a better entry on a slight retrace. Can't really say why, the price action just makes me feel that way. Although I just watch 1 broker.Ignored
DislikedGood morning srmfx,
thank you for sharing your way of trading, I have been reading your thread with interest. I like the way you drop down for lower risk entries once you have identified key levels - I do that similarly.
Here are some ideas that come to my mind, maybe you find time to explain more in depth :
a) I noticed your macd settings 1/20/9 - why this setting, have you tried others ? How do you use this ( possibly ) for confirmation of a setup ?
b) what exactly is a STE ? I know about early entries like the TTE by Ross. Could...Ignored
DislikedIt is almost impossible to explain exactly how I watch the quotes and use them as a filter but I'm working on a few videos.Ignored
