Follow up:

Missed my order by a few pips, would've been nice if I used the first level of D+W LCS level as entry point.

Oh well...moving on.

Update on 1D trade: USDCAD

Price lingered for quite awhile at the FTA. This looks good to me as it means accumulation before further down move.

However, would not want to take any losses as it wouldn't make sense if price spike up and continue down at this point.

SL tightened to BE.

Update on 1D trade: USDCAD

Though I remain bearish overall, the 4H bullish PB's off the lows and yesterday's 1D doji worries me. Wouldn't want to be taken out with nothing here.

Decided to take partial profits, and leave the rest with SL at BE for now.

More and more bullish reaction at the bottom of the RM. Not liking the PA here. Tightened SL to above RM top to lock in profits.

Stopped out for a total of 0.5R profits. Oh well, no complaints since got almost 0 drawdown from this trade, and it's Friday.

Update:

Triggered, and price brokethrough the D+W LCS/HCR level, and formed 2x 1H signatures of level as S.

Don't like this price action, and with the current 1H & 4H downtrend, decided to manual close for 0.3R loss.
