i couldnt have resisted 22 pips sl, if it goes thru 3120 3080 3060 is the next. If not i will be only -9 for the day, so risk on.
long from 1.3149... TP: 1.3252.. should possibly hit 1.3263

interesting

1.3136 was hit last night... So breaking 1.3122 will take us down to 1.3087 - i am hoping we may well have seen the bottom but not ruling out further down move... may range the rest of the week

my previous long was S/O at BE + 1
Reloaded L @ 1.315 (this time), possible DB on multiple Tfs.
SL: BE now
Target 1.325 for a start

I'll rather stay flat in this mess, doesn't look like we'll get any certainty tonight.
GL everyone.
Don't get mad, get even!

Counter trend vs intraday.
Accepting the loss. That is -22 on that particular trade -10 for this day.
No revenge trades. That is the point of success. 25 more pips can be risked maximum.

ALways stick to your MM.

The reasons for the trade were:

1. Price has made triple rejection/double top off 3215. 3237 hasnt been reached ( see the table)
2. Price has 100 % retraced from the 3050 swing/median ( very uncommon if that isnt reversal)
3.ATR was 80 % full
4.Intraweek downtrend ( started at 3320)
5. R:R by level table was awesome

Always go with MM.

EU mid day analysis:

I will be convinced in longs ONLY if daily close is above 3255 preferably 3260. The price is still bound to a possible drop later in the day.

could be zig zag range for a while... sell top, buy bottom... below 1.3122 give 1.3087.. above 1.3263 give 1.3293 then 1.3302...

below 1.3087 is bear favour... bull favour 1.3293

Descending triangle.

Shorts still in play. 10 % remaining turned to intraday ( post above), per MM.

Break of lower TL ( flat ) will give more strength to bears.

Yes I remember u shorted 3310 something like that. Well done on that 1. 3130 is important level.

Next levels are per table level count. If bears fail to defend this 3080 in sight.

huh sucks. now the profit is locked.
bad idea to go long there lol. i keep getting hte necessary urge to hedge profit for some reason .. ..
and no i did not buy the high . i was expecting a rise from the retest of the 61.8 extension

lets see if i can get the buy out in BE ..

total p/l lock is 79 pips. close both? no i cant. the initial is a swing trade i plan to hold. (the short).

any ideas?


btw i slept just now so.. yeah

you weren't alone - you had the market makers on your side

as long as you are winning - thats the important thing...

These days i really see the market from another perspective, in my early days i'd either keep shorting this - getting stopped out mulitple times this morning...

now i see this as neutral but favouring downside short term... i have to say being able to see the markets from this angle, i can improve on MM and greed even more.. like for instance i believe this is heading for 1.3105 before bounce... but i won't trade it... not a suitable set up
