;-) As you can see the IW order is present on the picture. However, for some reason, it never got filled.
Ah didn't notice it, sorry to hear man! Would've been a huge runner.

GM. My original drawing looked like this but as you see price broke each side but failed to take out the previous swing. Interesting. Now, I think if we get more touches inside your pattern, then yes, it still might come out legit, but now, IMHO, with such inside move sequence, I don't think it's good for anything, except if you played by the rules and ignored the fake-outs, then you should have made profit ;-)

Your welcome. When you get good at spotting diamonds, and this takes proper time, I suggest you just make things simpler for yourself, and just apply #19.12 until it breaks. Basic rules. If there's #18.4 in confluence then even better! Trade inside, trade outside. Rinse and repeat ;-)

IW loonie trade going good. If one were to take trades mechanically, one could have entered SHORT earlier during the week. Not recommended when all other majors were loosingagainst the usd. However, this pair repositioned itself for a LONG entry yesterday.

Very interesting pair to watch this week.


I hope it looks for weekly range fillment.

Hello Guys,

I wanted to share with you trade I made today. I decided to sell eurjpy when I saw the test of broken comb and 18.4 at the same time. There was symmerty as well (red arows). Took profit at 90% ADR. Result + 1.48 R (risked 49 pips, gained 73 pips).

Everything would be nice if I wasn't impatient. I knew I could get a better entry, I knew it will go up couple of pips more to test trendline well and match symmetry but I wanted jump in ASAP.(emotion- being afraid that market will run away without me). Had I jumped in 6 pips higher I would gain 79pips with risk 43 pips and R would be much better - 1.83 .This kind of shaving your position adds up in the end and can make huge differnece in long term result. This is something to work on.

Nevertheless, I must say I really enjoy playing combs and 18.4s.

I wish you many pips next week and have a nice weekend.

Cheers ,
Chris

nice trade man,
i wouldnt worry bout a few pips. getting it right would seem more important to me?? if you had waited and missed the trade for 4 or 5 pips would you be saying you still made the right choices?? i think these prices should already be set in stone before price actually gets there, then hit or miss you CAN say you made the right choice.
jus my 2 pips worth.

After a few weeks taking losses,I finally managed to take two good trades in a row.

Friday I jumped into EURAUD short and the pair filled its ADR.

Today I jumped into another short, this time on NZDUSD, and TPd @ 82% ADR.

I have to say that it was getting on my nerves.

I also had a probable EJ trade, but it never came back for a pullback entry. However, the pair is closing in to fill 80% of its range.

Hey Jon,

Thanks man for your kind words. You are right, probably if have missed this trade by a few pips my point of view would be totally different.
What was bothering me is that I wanted to place sell limit higher, but in the last moment I have changed my mind, I don't like when it happens, when I'm acting on impulse because I want to be ASAP in the market. To many times I have taken poor position because of it.
In this case I shouldn't be complaining too much, there were almost no more pips to squeeze, but IMHO generally it is better to omit the trade rather than to have poor position and have a small chance to get a good risk:reward ratio.

all the best, Chris
