i picked this pair because of the PA in the 15mins. i don't expect much run here because it already filled its Daily Run Quota or ADR {average daily range}.

i'm still here 
my account is still tiny...
but not as tiny as before...just a little bigger...
however, my growth as a trader is much, much improved and so too the timeframes that i trade.
just to bring my journal up to speed, i am posting a chart that i captured after my USD/JPY exit. Many thanks goes to the BOJ central bankers, sorry i mean...banksters...as in gangsters, for initiating and sustaining their manipulations and giant pyramid scheme.

currently, i'm bullish on the Loonie...in Monthly and Weekly TM's. i can just enter based on the Mthly Long signal, but in an attempt to avoid deep draw downs i'm waiting for a buy signal on the lower TM's.
The Daily gave such a buy signal yesterday but i did not take it due the bank holiday in the major fx clearance country.i
As i pointed out in another thread, the contraction or narrowing of the BB in the mthly informs me that this pair is set for a breakout into extended run, of which i intend to be a part of.
So which way will she run ?
i don't know for sure, BUT based on my trustworthy trading system, she's pointingnorth.
Can i be more specific ? yes i can, please read the following than check out the current Weekly Chart below.
1) the Monthly is making New Highs [NH's]
2) the Weekly is making Higher Highs [HH's] and [HL's]...please refer to the green and white arrows on the chart below.
Basic recap:: What is the Definition of an UpTrend ?
Answer:: Higher Highs and Higher Lows.
Definition of a DownTrend ?...stay tuned...

if current 1hr bar, above the blue x, can end in green than another a long would be in order.

Stops raised on all Loonie Longs to breakeven or above; FXCM stop raised to Break Even. See 1hr Charts below. The FXCM entry was not optimal due to me placing a BuyStop order, luckily i realised my mistake so cancelled order and went long at the market.
The other long entries was timed off the 5 & 30mins charts

Captain's Log, 
our 1st Line defense Stops of our Defense Shield have been hit. What ? what was that...? O ! is that so ? So u saying we were up handsomely...why didn't we take profits ? Listen O enemy of mine...u do not pay the rent, i do. i own my mind not u...so get out from here.
We are still bullish on the same pair, as well as a few others that have entered our radar perimeters.
Below is a 4hr chart of the Loonie, i would love to see a Bullish Reversal Bar [+BRB] here where the green x is, so at 10am CAT this current 4hr bar will close. That's in about 1½ hrs time. Point is; even if it fails to produce a +BRB after this bar at 10 than the next bar will be watched.

ok, we seeing some action now at the frontlines...
5mins are turning Bullish...
15mins are turning Bullish...
30mins ? no, not yet...but i can see the lights of their cooking fires (read...they close by...)
If u scalping than longs can be entered if the current 5min bar close green.

below is my 5min Scalp chart of the Loonie, not ideal for scalping because the spread is to0o wide. Please note the Trend is still very much down.

Shifting our focus to the EUR/JPY...we waiting for a retracement to happen AND complete before we will engage in a 15min scalp. So, what timeframes are we looking at ? ...i'm observing the 15mins.
here is a current snapshot

as expected the long trade setup of the Loonie happened while i was away, but entered long in 5mins because the basic Long Trade Setup is still valid.
