multiple "gaps" to close, price running into a major BRN of 8000 which has big time historical significance

Price is also losing momentum

I am watching 8000 like a hawk


hope everyone had a great weekend

very similar to eur/gbp have my eye on it too. Momentum is fading, but I need to see a nice strong reversal before I jump in. I'll be watching those BRNs CLOSE

chart sorry

If we don't break down then I just let these goes and wait for the next one. You could be looking for longs off the BRN too but when I start to see signs of failure(divergence) it gives me more of a bias. Throw a pattern in, and even more bias..but we still must wait

Hello, Mike.

hey Ex,

Thanks goldfish!, yep it's Big Round number. One of those terms that caught on. I always watched closely the Bigger round numbers, which I term as every 500 pips on a pair. They are major psychological, fundamental, and self fulfilling levels, like a lot of round numbers are but the bigger ones can play even a larger role(and they do for me)

Hey Viktor

Sorry i may be misunderstanding. Are you referring to my weekly pinbar trade I have been in for a long time? Right now I am more or less leaving my stop locked in where it is and see if price wants to break up above 9500 for the next move higher. I don't intend to really move my stop until we retest the 9500 area if anything.

I may have missed your question though just try me again if so

Mike, I'm sorry, I had in mind USDCAD.
Do you can close this trade before price gone to your take profit? Do you setup stop loss? Are moving stop loss when trade is open?

U can show it as it is already happened..

but during the day??

Sonic
I admit it is easier to show examples from the past, but you are right, trader must make the decisions on live.

I did not find any good daily setups for this so this is one that I would not place a pending trade and wait for it to trigger. At least not to short it.

Hey Victor

RIght now my stop is still at b/e and my take profit is set in. But during most trades I am looking for ways to always be reducing risk and potentially locking in profit. In this case here my take going into it was to see if we could break the major resistance just above parity. So for me to move my stop up at this point would be counter productive to my original trade plan. Instead I am just leaving my trade at b/e and waiting to see if we can get that "push" out.

But I do actively look to move stops/take profits with most my trades(meaning they are not set and forget trades)

Hope that helps
Mike

That comes with practice

To get a better understanding of what will happen in the future, it's best to study the past like there's no tomorrow!
Totally agree. There is no substitute for chart watching.

I just wanted to highlight the fact that Mike was consciously taking this trade for a specific purpose, which was because the conditions were hinting at a move out of consolidation. It is very important to always have and not lose sight of your purpose for taking a trade. If Mike would have lost sight of that, he surely would have been shaken out on Friday. I believe it is located on Seekinglight's signature, but it is something to the effect of, "Always give a trade a chance to play out."

There is also a flip side to this. Give your trades a chance to play out, but don't let all of your trades run against you when things don't work out.

Just my attempt at adding a bit of thought to a seemingly simple answer.

Comments/discussion welcome.
