It went down by 10+ pips. TDI going to repaint if it drops further.

This is the reason what i meant by being whipped out several times if the general longer term trend is wrong. Would appreciate any help here.

thanks.

Might be worth posting up what rules you are working to. Especially your exit strategy. Are you waiting for hooking of the TDI before getting out or setting particular stop losses that are being hit? Better yet do some trades and post up the losers. I'm sure a few of the guys will be able to point out where the issue is.
I tried exiting when TDI starts hooking up. This caused several loses.
I also tried exiting when TDI goes flat. This is neutral in winning.

I have seen TDI repainting before from 2 oclock to slightly flat on 5min to 4h time frames and its scary. This will followed by a flat or bad TDI position which needs me to cut loss.

On my chart, TDI has repainted sligtly from a strong 2 oclock to slightly hooked due to the candle turning red (Drewas 1 h entry).

Yeah was really why I aske the question.

Just exited with +11 when green TDI hooked (if you can call it a hook). Prematurely it seems

general long term trend is still up. (Big E favours long term trend?)
Thus, if u go long the euro, more than likely ur safe.

I just exited with +25 pips, and will not trade EUR today any more.

So missed the initial cross, but is it too late to enter now?

Second candle but would you wait for it to retrace?

^^^

its already bouncing off trendline support within a definite up channel. Careful with counter trend trades especially when theres so much news atm too.

Maybe "easier" to play this market off the 15 m
