Ok, good logic. What those little arrows represent? Entry positions?
yes T - he uses oanda platform and when a trade is opened or closed it shows the arrow.

i presume he bought and the arrow down is where he banked profits he made


as for the trades - they are very nice agro
Have I got something on my face, SOLDIER?

Yes 2733-2730 we may go down from there.

The price is still bullish, this might have been a pullback and it looks like it atm. We still can expect 2780 and more if 2730 isnt broken.

Sorry T. Busy - scalp, scalp, scalp

Buma is correct. Up arrow was entry, 3 down arrows were scale outs, 1/3 at a time.

ps What is BPC formation you keep mentioning?

Breakout-Pullback-Continuation

The price breaks through a s/r level on momentum push then it pullbacks ( retests) then continue in the breakout direction. Ill show u an example.

Random example. In this case we buy at the break of the high after the retest.

Cheers. I use this formation extensively in my scalping. The pullback is a traders best friend

SO if 2758 gets broken, that means we are in bullish correction mode 2780 ,2800 and 2820 are possible targets then.
2758>2780>2798 done

Hello all

Been following this thread for a while now and I have some vouches now so I can post.

I am a scalper for the most part, in and out of trades within minutes so I will not be posting my scalps. But I do want to add a bit of short term position trading to my trading plan. I have traded this way in the past with some limited success but nothing getting even close to my scalping results. I would appreciate some help from you guys so I will post my orders for today. Take profits are all open and decided on levels + PA. Please let me...
Sell order triggered in spectacular fasion thanks to EU news. Hopefully just a news spike, will see how it goes but obviously not loving PA at the moment. Anyway, small account and small risk. Will not increase risk untill I get a couple of months of good results.

The way to go is increasing the risk according to your account balance. That is best achieved by compounding .

Yes, this is how I will do it for these trades, but untill I have some good extended results I am using a very small account compared to my main account. As far as scalping goes, it is very hard to do this, trying to calculate risk for each trade in a fast moving market is damn neer impossible, especially when stop loss is not always known (I exit manually) so I just use a stardard size for every trade and increase this size for every 20% of account growth

Just closed out at 2782 for -4. Stop was 2811 so it was only a small % of the stop. Gave it a good chance but all attempts to go lower failed miserably and I think supply is being consumed so we may go higher now

Guys be careful now, as 13.30gmt-14.30 gmt often looks like a Frankie fake and beginning of London session.

Ill be back in 1h.

I have just got back home, nothing much has changed only that EU printed some
bearish levels that were stated in my level table. I havent traded it as I wasnt close to my trades station but I would surely have gone for it if I was here.

As i said below median point are bearish levels .

Price looks bullish enough to reach 2840. If that happens only a break of it will target 2870. Both are shorting zones.
