GBP/USD continued higher today breaking then bouncing off the 1.6102 level. US Fed decision may move the markets a bit depending on figure.

Hmm. Finally reached 6140. Adding some shorts here. Will continue until 6200. Else bailout.
not a good idea to add to the losing position atm imho..

we bluff (entry at the resistance), market calls (resistance breakout), it didn't work out.. not yet a bear market.

better take sometime to plan for the next entry (on the long side of the market, perhaps?), don't rush things mate..

Thanks man for the kind words. I appreciate it. The reason I entered here is because I see a resistance zone in the area 6140-95. I'm mostly a swing trader and how everyone says it's okay to miss the boat and not try to catch the top/bottom. Though I agree to that I've developed a style that seems to work for me. For example, I added only a small part of the short now and plan to add some more in 50s, 60s and so on until 90s. That way my price is averaged out. Moreover I do the reverse when price goes against or in favor of me, that is to cut down my position slowly. To the same effect, in past couple of weeks as we had reached lower 61xx, I had been closing them out partly in lower 60xx and remaining BE.

I'm not very good at estimating exact good entry points. That is where I learn from experienced traders like you. To me, trying to time such an entry is like trying to catch a top/bottom.

P.S. - I don't risk the max the first time. It's based on my average price as if I was fully loaded with the amount originally intended.

A broken Bull flag or a retest of broken trendline? The green lines are my major support lines & the red lines may major resistance. 1st resistance breached. Can we test the 2nd before Dec. 31st?

You think that the 61.8 fib level can be retraced before the year end? Anyone?

Thanks.

No one knows and if anyone tells you they do or that somehow their own analysis is predictive and they can tell - then they are deceiving you and possibly themselves. No one knows - it's that simple. We are in an uptrend on 1hr 4hr and daily t/f's but it is entirely possible that such a steep pullback could occur which would actually end the present 1hr and possibly even the 4hr uptrend. Anything can happen - we just don't know what and I know it's probably not the answer/comfort you are looking for being underwater with your short - but it's the truth.

I'm used to razor-sharpness and so that was rather blunt.
