Got in at 1.4454 but there is a TL looming - may put the brakes on this one and possibly our "hairy headed" () E/G spider!
Less than ideal, those will hammer your account.

Tom, that EURUSD trade you took looked like a butt-kiss. I thought you only took the rounded retest in that situation? Was it the strong push up on H1 that made it ok?

Grant
This wasn't a butt kiss (which to me is a test on the very next bar after the one that breaks the level - this was the second bar) however you are correct in saying it wasn't a rounded retest.

I will consider these acceptable when looking for a very small bounce e.g. 20 pips

Gold closed the gap. Which way now? Daily looking more like an SFP?

The D1 chart for Gold is NOT an SFP.

Tom,was that enough space for a long entry on the bund,or did it look a bit over extended.

Hope you and Lindsey are doing fine

Can get your view on Gold?

I'm sure many have pulled out the BEOB on the daily, all well and good. But much like you, I want to be IN a trade at it's source and not just rely on PA as a lagging indicator. (I.e entering on the break)

Would you consider looking at Gold 1h as a VALID entry point using the daily as your bias? I've marked out some levels where I think price may retrace to before another move down, but none (in my eyes) are very convincing and not what I would classify as a "good" level. In effect I'm looking for a rounded retest to join in with the bears.

Thanks in advance, Tomek

Hi Tom, can you shed some light on your gold and silver shorts? Entry, SL?

Forgot to add ; your stop is insanely tight for this volatility.

Although, i pulled the order,because it hadn,t triggered in the NY session,i think it worked out well.

I take your point about volatility,but this was planned on mechanical rules and they are not to bad.
