Only that it had tried to break through twice, then had come back for another go, with everything else looking good I though it was worth a shot.
thanks, olivia

That's a great trade...looks like your entry was between the weekly R1 and DP?...would be interested to know your thoughts at the time you entered..

edit: ...ah, i see you've already answered Thanks.
If it had been the first time reaching the pivot I would have absolutely not touched it, but as the M5 had managed to close below it twice before recently, and with London now open it was likely to drop through it, but it doesn't always work like that

...i think this is a good example of where we less experienced guys need to be in order to be successful with Genesis (or any other decent entry method)...we need to focus on price action first and foremost before taking a signal.

Definitely, if you watch the flow especially around pivots its like its a living animal I tend to look at it like its banging against a wall, the more you knock against it the weaker it will get and then if you bring a whole lot more people in to help you, it will fall

Yes, it's not possible to download the tools and expect to be making great trades with no further work involved. It's like buying the best tools in the world to repair cars won't make a mechanic out of you......the tools are only one part of the equation.....you are the other part. Knowledge of market behaviour is important to good trading too.

Its quite a strong downtrend at the moment, so I'm not taking it, but it could work as its bounced off the monthly pivot.

It looks ok, but I would be cautious because the trend has been down all day.

Yes, thanks, I am also a little concerned about the strength of the downtrend.

See what happened when GU first tested the pivot? It bounced off....retested, and broke through. Looks like the same is happening with the S1 level. This test, bounce, retest, breakthrough happens all the time. That's why I would be cautious about trading this against the trend.

Afternoon....

Would you say purely trading retests and subsequent breakthroughs would generate enough pips to be a system in itself? I'm thinking of doing just this to get good at one style and only once I've mastered it then add additional entries..?

With that in mind, are you now going short on this signal?

This is so cool to se it stop up exact by the pips on S1

I dont say it will go down more but just the fact that this lines are so importent to look at.

Possibly, but the trap is the we are never going to to know whether, for example, this is going to retest S1 or perhaps it is a genuine reversal.....

If it is a reversal, it will happen without me entering because I'm not to keen to go against the trend at this stage. If it it a retest and breakthough, I'll pick it up on the other side of S1

I won't be going short as there is just too much underneath at the moment, plus near its first ATR line, so I would rather look for something better on another currency.

No....I'm sitting this out until it breaks through S1. If I'm wrong and you're right.....you'll make lots of pips and I wont!!
