Aye. I never actually got a close to consider it a breakout... heh. Pop up and rejection. I need a close to consider the breakout, then buy at demand. Tracking 15m right now... still uptrending clusters... lets see what this dumb thing wants to do now.
trust me. closes have their place.. just not always

I know. My w/l on my account tells me that story. It's always the fakeys that get me. But the bottom that falls through will end up turning a d > s or s > d, so it's just a new place to trade from. I take my loss, and go from there.

I trade more based on order flow than derived numbers (fibs, MM etc). Then again, those break out closes have the ability to get you in at those HH > LL situations as well... multiple ways to play it g man.

there is. and i may be wrong. candle trades are fine.. but s/r in the direction of the trade has always to be considered.. the same ones i already posted .. i am buying at some point at weakness.. 2723/39 is where i look.. and after 84 its norm to go to 2711 at some point..(still unknown area)

the h closed with a beautiful bearish candle.. a candle just cant say how deep.. as long as 22 untouched is there 84 is the target. if wrong then 2711 or more is probably the retrace regardless of bears or bulls.. both will want this..

34 was the best i could do.. L 34.. stops below 23.. and tight.. if we roll the day first, then 84.. the pullback expected after 84 may not be to 2711. that's a unknown since we dont know. if she will bounce at 84, or not yet. or go a bunch higher with a new day adr.. .. whether 2732 is the st bottom or not is not known.. there is wiggle room..

see what you mean, but anything but levels are un-important in USDX/USDOLLAR at least that's my experience looking a lot at them.
Yes I draw TL's but only because we are accustomed to them, best not draw them at all

i am risking 14 pips to make 50... that kinda sucks.. unless it runs..
this thing is designed to screw the most.. that red candle.. may screw me.. the flow is telling me different.

not a guru on this but:
1. high volume at resistance indicates the importance of it.
2. high volume at the break and closing next day above previous day close is bullish (in this example)
Only problem is the abnormal EU movement compared to index-movement (normally corrected one way or the other)
