bro´s , I warn you about the close on monthly where it oppened, at 1.2960, closing in a cross, exactly the same on weekly, closing in a cross!! Because these Time Frames are more important than daily, this pinbar on daily has relative less importance because the target on Monthly/Weekly close is +/- obvious..so the price will go "drunk" until the month closes...
Those who want to Go Bull, just wait for next week, if Monthly candle closes on cross/pin bar, we all know the next moove(at least the first next moove), it will go uppp fast withou low wick.

I agree with what you're thinking. I've been following the W1 and M1 chart closely as of late.

Cut my short for an 8 pip loss.

Have a long in at 78 aiming at 1.3010 and using W1 and M1 to predict medium to long term bullish. I think the housing data caused a brief spike down but now technical sentiment will take the reigns again and at least retest that high.

dear paul-fx
dont look for foults or conflicts I am the open here as much as I can
does not help you making better trader
I had explained my trade system & MM @ 1st page.

even when driving car sometimes we make risky moves to avoid from disasters.
if we make those moves every day it is too dangerous
when we do it when needed it is less dangerous & avoid us from disasters
it may end with disaster too it is statistic from that point

@ paul-fx
MM:
I use small % of my balance & roll ~10 times a day for achieving a reasonable % profit.
If price goes ~30* pip against my entry, I call that as a wrong entry either direction or entry level base. Those needs Manage.
I average price until ~30* pip reverse move from levels defined. In general I trade Max 4 Trades at the same time ( 3 x NS and/or 1/2 NS Trades + 1 x HS Trade ). When price moves back to 1st or 2nd entry level I exit with BE & keep last entry running.
Min Free Margin target with trading Max entry ( 4 ) : % 300
- Do use SL for emergency issues, not for exit.
- Have %12DD Auto exit code that closes all FL trades in case.
- SL => BE used only when I leave screen
- Trade size:
...a- Normal Size (NS) : Have min %3000 free margin with 1:500 Account Leverage
...b- 1/2 NS
...c- Heavy Size ( HS ) : 5 x NS
- Trding with NS;
...a- Exit %50 @ ~10-20* pip profit depending on the MKT condition
...b- %50 runner to target level defined with MKT dynamics
- Trading with 1/2 NS; Exit %100 when Target achived.
- Trading with HS;
This is not regular trading size. I use this size if trades cought by a reversal move.
Basicly I use HS to recover. No profit Traget. Exit all with BE. Entering HS needs experience & Information about actual MKT condition. There should be a level that will reject price to trades favor enough to Exit All with BE. if it fails %12DD Auto Exit will close all.
* All distances Depending on the MKT condition. NOT FIX.
