USD/CAD 1 hour could be woth keeping your eye on
just having a look at it now. Seems price to the left is a bit choppy, its basically in a range atm. and is reaching the previous swing highs. Are you thinking of going long if a signal appears off the 1hr ?

Im thinking in the next couple of hours we could see a sell signal..The price has tested or got very close to reistance several times today and could be the break on the trend up and the bears could be starting to take charge if we get a break and close of candle across the pivote. Just worth keeping an eye on..

Couple of pointers-
Don't call attention to the trade until long after it's finished.

If it loses, conjure up reasons you didn't take it:

Try some of these:

Round number in the way
Something about pivots not being right
Something about S/R
Claim the engulfing bar wasn't the right size
No momentum
Time was wrong
Glare on the monitor creating S/R


If it wins, say you took it and made money

hi all, hope somebody guide me whether the trade below is correct.
short GU 1H. the low of the short candle is 1.5730, my spread is 3 pips, hence i should sell stop at 1.5726 (1 pip + spread); while high is 1.5743, hence my stop loss at 1.5744? and Target at 1.5708 (18pips with RR 1:1).
am i right?

Hi Johntan thats all spot on... I would say its a bad time to be trading GU H1, very slow around now... the engulfing candle was 11 pips

on H1 AJ, there was a buy call signal on previous candle.
signal candle: high 85.84;low 85.57.
spread 10pips.
buy trigger: Long 85.95 (1 pip + 10pips spread)
stop loss: 85.56 (1 pip) or 85.46 (1 pip + 10 pips spread), which one is correct?
target: 86.34 for (1 pip SL) or 86.44 (1 + 10 SL)?

You are right, there might be many reasons why the trade got stopped out. But to me, it must not be too complicated, otherwise I will be looking for another system. I already have a couple, but this one based on price action looks interesting to me. I supposed the setting was too close to the 50 sma and momentum was turning long. Using another indicator like MACD might help to filter out bad trades.
