A little indecision here. I closed the short to enter the long. Once again, a very small loss. The red line would be in play now except it cannot be moved yet as there has not been a higher close yet.

Another order would have triggered on gbpcad so I entered it manually. Had to set a few more buy and sell stops as well. Here is the latest chart. The red line would be in play. However, the conditions which would allow me to place that line have not been met yet, so I will wait til they are before I draw that line. Night!

Thought I would post this as well. It is a pending order on a chart without so much clutter. I will continue to post this chart if the pending order changes to a different location or if the trade is triggered.

This trade triggered, which would have closed the long we would have been in. Than price fell below the blue trend line signalling me to look short again. The blue line cannot yet be moved higher as the pair has not yet made a higher close.

This pending trade I posted earlier has triggered, which would have closed the short we would have been in.

No new trades at this time. Currently my open trades on the 4-hour chart are in profit cumulatively about 680 pips. Figuring losses: If I closed my trades right now I would bank about 540 pips in profit.
Considering I am already done looking at my charts for this new bar, this is showing a lot of promise
. I guess we'll see what transpires in 4 hours.

This is really incredible! I just went over my 4-hour charts in less than 2 minutes. This is my kind of trading . Now to see if this works out pip positive like I think it does.
Nothing new on the 4-hour charts.

Long trade closed. It was kind of questionable as there was no clear breakout. Short trade opened.

This trade opened earlier and I thought I would experiment with a second entry as well. Right now bias is long until we get a short trendline break and entry.

Here is another situation where I could put another pending buy order, but I wont as there is to much clutter on the left of the chart at this level.

Our SL was hit on this trade. Conditions were right to move the upper trendline. No lower trendline can be placed yet.
