Hey Dark,

clean charts, nice. Ever considered to switch from short to long (and vice versa) at your stop price?
Hi Ray,

Na I wont do that, If it goes the opposite way I will simply wait for it to make its move and then wait for some sort of confirmation that the move is going to possibly hold.

If you got a good hit rate this technique could improve your performance.
Good Trading.

I dont aim to take a lot of trades each day, just a couple but at high probablility areas.

As you can see if I had simply got out at my original target level on that last trade, it would have been all good. Guess there is a lesson in that

Every Trade is a lesson. Im also wait for price levels, their distance can have several 100 pips, I can wait and trade aggressiv then.
Example:

Today Im waiting for 1,2735/30 printed, I went short at 1,2730.
Instead using a common stop I reversed the position at 1,2735 and been immediatly on the right side. For Scalpers this technique could be deadly, agreed with that but if you can wait and are patient .. its another case.

Indeed.

Every trader has their own method. That is where you need to head as a trader, to be comfortable with your own method and your own trades.

As long as what you are doing is working for you as an individual trader then its all good in my books.

USD bank holiday today, potential for markets to be reasonably quiet.

Well pretty much been a spectator today with the US bank holidays as expected the market has been rather quiet.

There has been a couple of moves away from the top end of the asian range but not for me today.

I will be back tomorrow to see what is on offer.

Cheers.

Hi guys,

Here are the areas that I will be keeping an eye on for both EU and AU today.

With the break being to the upside, first of all I will be looking for some kind of pullback continuation move if it presents itself.

Cheers.

Took this long, but as it seems to be struggling at the first resistance area I closed it out. I was going to target slightly a bit higher around the 1.27853 ish area.
