A place where you can let off steam about your bad trade, you can talk about your trade, what went wrong, where you think you mess up at, and what you can do to improve. other traders are welcome to give advise

do you have a t/p in mind
Just a scalp, around 10 pips.

Hit 5879 but on a high, will be entering when the price drifts lower.

Long at 5873

Out for 5 pip gain because you're short. Looks like an ascending triangle on the 1M charts.

Man I love 1M charts

same way you read other charts, triangles for a lot, I look for breakouts. Otherwise I mostly trade when it's not trending as it will always see-saw.
