Update on 1D trade: AUDUSD

Price finally hit FTA and pulled back quite violently. FTA proved to be quite a tough area to breakthrough. Should've taken some profits here.

Patience is virtue . TP hit for a good 2R profit.

New Pending 1D trade: EURAUD

Sell limit @ 1.2425
SL @ 1.2505
TP @ 1.2303

Reasons:
1. PBT&CB D LCS level.
2. Trading into space

*I'm bearish EURUSD & bullish AUDUSD, so it would make perfect sense to be bearish EURAUD. However, this would put me in a higher risk position, but I'll take it as the chart tells me. Since all my trades are limit orders, let's see if I'll miss all and I'll get all of them

Update on 1D trade: EURAUD

Price finally made it to the FTA, and found some demand there. Moved SL to BE as the 2 previous daily lows can act as R.

Update on 1D trade: EURUSD

Price made it back to my first entry at D + W LCS level, and formed 2x 1H signatures + 4H signature of level as S.

This made me tightened SL to above 1H PPZ level.

Attachment
Update on 1D trade: EURUSD

All 3 positions stopped out after the 1H bullish PB + signature of S off D + W LCS level. Overall loss 0.2R from all the trades, which was OK.

After the 1H bullish PB formed, I was busy reading other threads, and systems, and didn't react to the bullish PB formed. I was "hoping" for price to go further down, when it showed me that a bullish movement is coming.

Price may continue to go lower from here, and my SL was probably too close to the PPZ level (coz I simply didn't want to lose more). The supply area may work well to put back to the lows.

Anyway, I'll learn from these lessons, and get better

Follow up: EURUSD

Price really made it back to the D + W LCS level after stopping me out. However, with a DCC of S, I wouldn't go short now even the PA seemed bearish.

Update on 1D trade: EURAUD

EURUSD & AUDUSD both formed DCC of S & R respectively at LCS/HCR levels. This signifies weakness in EURAUD bearishness. Decided to take partial profits, and SL remains at BE.

Hi Steve, Read through the first post of the thread, one key thing that I noticed was about the market order vs the limit order.

Well, I agree with most of the points, but the thing is, I'm not able to be in front of my screen as I trade, therefore, I chose to trade the longer time frame (Daily), and use Limit orders and buy/sell on pullbacks of breakout trades, that's the summary of my strategy (learnt from Jarroo in J16).

Anyhow, I'm still finding the most appropriate strategy for myself, and will tweak and trial as I see fit. Will not start live till I'm comfortable and confident with the trading style.

Anyhow, thanks for your insightful thread. definitely learnt a whole lot!!

Definitely. Will start with small accounts, and only once I'm consistent, I'll move up from there.
