Short entered this morning before heading off to work on the daily chart. This one was EURAUD. Looking ok so far, but as we all know the trade isnt over until its over anything can happen.

Will think about putting BE in on it soon, depending on how its tracking before I head off for the day.

Any thoughts on taking a short from this level. Or would you not consider this a valid retrace ?

Sorry Dan been away had to do a few things.

Lines up pretty much with one of my lines that I had drawn, and indecision bar, then yes I would say very much a valid trade, if you had taken it looks like would have been quite nice too.

BE entered on this one now to see if it can reach the target area.

Hi DW

Just got back myself and can see how quickly price shot down. I decided not to take the trade because I was unsure as to whether this would be a valid retracement/significant pullback in the sense that it was only one bar before the entry bar, and price had barley moved past the resistance area before it pulled back.

In regards to pullbacks what do you like to look for ?

No suprise price stoped where it did:

Well I pretty much like to look for rejection or a market pause at levels/areas that I may deem to be a good horizontal level or trend line.

Sounds simplistic, thats because essentially it is. Does it always work, definatley not as seen in that AUD trade on 4 hourly I did.

Well here is a rare successful trade that I took today. price was basically moving sideways so I decided to trade the range. Identified the res/area using the line graph on 5m and took the short on the break of the 2 doji candles targeting the lows. DW what do you think about this trade and the my reasons for taking it. Would it of been a trade that you would of considered taking yourself or was it just a 'fluke'. Oh and I used the stochs as confirmation for the sell when it was in the overbought and crossing

Hi Dan,

On my chart it doesnt quite go back to the RN line on yours, but that would be due simply to different feeds.

Yes a very good trade, good use of the range and good use of the stochastich to identify overbought. Stochastic can be quite helpful in rangebound markets to identify the overbought and oversold areas.

Good use of the target areas also

Remember its not how many trades you take each day its just a matter of being profitable. All you need really is one profitable trade per day and all is good. Be patient, be picky and only take those that tick all the boxes of your trade plan.

Good work also using the line chart to identify the areas

phew...Im really behind on this thread... had quite a bit of reading to do lol

DW congrats on the good news, best wishes

On the trading front, just wanted to point this out (EU 4H chart). Still not ripe enough for a trade but a good level to keep an eye on. Price does have a tendency to contain itself, so Ill be looking for a long to develop. If it doesnt then the second option will be to look for a breakout and continued selling...

Very nice quote DW. This is something came out from a ProTrader. Being consistent in trading and follow a setup of rules are way to become Pro trader. I'm listening...

Hi Mugged,

Thanks for the best wishes, getting ever closer now and only about 2 weeks away.

Yep that is definately a good plan on EU. If it is going to head into a range again then its pretty much at a good area now for it to stall and head back up. There was a small pin of that RN area on the 4 hourly a few candles ago.

Hi Blackhawk,

Yes but you must have the discipline to follow those rules, do not let greed creep into the equation.

Ya I have an eye on that one but did not take any trade from it more waiting for it to make a pullback continuation set up.

I have no open trades at the moment, but a couple of other ones I had marked for trades and did not take are NZDUSD and EURGBP both on daily charts.

It is always good though to keep an eye on the potential trades that you identify and see how it would have played out.
