I just entered those two trades:
short EUR/JPY @111.76
short AUD/JPY @84.64

What do you guys think?
AUDJPY:

I do not understand why you are out of this trade?
My stop would have been at the swing high 85.200?
But i would not have entered this trade due to the action on the Daily chart (I always check the Daily). On the daily the TDI is crossing for a long trade, this is not a time i would be going short.
Also my candle did not cross the MA as a long strong candle it's very short and stubby.

EURJPY:

Again on my charts candles are very small and have not actually crossed the MA. And yet again on the Daily price is crossing for a long, also looking to the left on the Daily it is sitting on a support area.
If we get a good push up on the pair i might trade the Daily long tomorrow.

Hope this help some

Thank a lot. Those are the kind of trades you learn from. I have to wait for the close below/above the EMA 5 and watch the Daily chart more carefully.
I think I would not enter those two trades, but I'm just observing the markets the last 2 day and I couldnt find a perfect entry, so I just jumped in.

I know that feeling all to well mate, and it's cost me loads of money. That's why i check my charts every 4h or so and if no trades i walk away.
I know it's easier said than done bu it's taken me years to learn that you don't have to always be in a trade to be a trader!
Walk away wait for the setup that meets your rules, don't lie to yourself about "well it meets some of my rules so it will be ok" sometimes it will be and sometimes it won't but you are just gambling.

Hi bez
Thanks for all your posts.

The chfjpy trade, is there a reason you took that specifically as the D is crossed down.

Cheers.

On a trending pair like this i would not put a target, i will exit when HA candle changes color or the TDI crosses against me. I only really use S&R to exit in a range bound market, certainly not one trending as this is.

Thanks I did see the D uptrend but there also seems a fairly significant triple top and massive sell divergence (not that divergence is part of system).

My back testing (largely as a result of your follow D suggestion) shows even in trending market not waiting for D to revert back to trend can have a lot of false signals on 4hr.

Thks for your comment.

From the chart below I don't think that C/J 4H is a valid trade for buy, if you look at daily is trending down.
