The trade was a late one - still can work.

Means the liquidity stalls but there's still room for trading

USD pairs runs on high gear from 2:00 AM EST to 10-11 AM EST - after that liquidity stalls. Need more patience if you have a trade working like I do now.

I have a long trade still working but the market is up for grabs. I trail my stop so the risk now is minimal.

Thank you for advice!

I was thinking that at higher time frame like 30 min., 1 and 4 hrs, daily, the time of the day (session open etc.) has less impact than if i would trade at 5 min.charts... Of course I know - if I would take trade on 1 hr. TF, but it would be near Sydney open (for example) I would need more patience to wait for the trade to mature...

I would like to take short (if the market will show its hands) at the 3372 area...


I am not sure - do not know exactly - is it good idea to take such a trade and wait for result as long as it would need to wait. i mean - If it will go for 3 or 5 hours - I am ready to wait....

So... at least I would try.

Round numbers are shark infested waters. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. Don't dwell too much in that.

Hello traders!

I am looking to trade this breakout down.

Look at 30 min to see levels, and on 5 min to see the pullback after the breakout before taking the trade down.

Hope I got the feb's lesson some day ago about trading breakouts after pullback. So - let's see what happends.

Hi ! Feb, I think you said somewhere that you look at intermarket analysis, right ? If so do you look at the big contracts like ES, ZN and ZB, CL, GC... ? Still following what you're saying here even if I'm more looking for fractals at daily charts. Have fun
