{quote} Not enough... or what the heck, tired of waiting... In @ 1.32364...SL 30 pips TP 1.3135
atta boy.. sl is too wide though, I would tidy it asap. if it goes up, you can always pick it up from higher.

{quote} it never does until you look west. i expect higher eventually. so i have to stay out until we are at the extremes.. i had a decent one yesterday.. no sense giving it back..http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...90#post6843690
are you saying that most of your work is about drawing the lines and looking at the PA? finding price levels that matter seems like an enigma... I can understand the highs and lows, mountains and valleys, but on the chart when you get closer they seem to disappear and can be anywhere..
it is highly likely that i'm wrong... so dont follow me!

what's the logic? if it blows the lid here, it will go above the next one just to get your stop.

on these kind of trades I usually close manually depending how the tick chart behaves... setting a hard stop is just asking for it.

only stop here should be the WTF one.

some are more important then others. had we got below 3164 and returned here now, i would be short already and adding to a total of 1% risk in 1/4% increments. if i got in then at 3214 and with no other entrees, the target is 1% tp with 1/4 risk. and so on.. if we went to 3253 1% or 3/4% risk total with the best trade 32/64 to one r/r ,,, i do have a norm at 3085/99,,, i have a st, not so accurate indication for 3097. this one puts us under 3164. in these counter trades w/o -3164, i try to wait for close to 3254 or not trade.

yup. waiting now on my hands. will take a short around 3250 with a tight stop (20 pips is my tight stop) to play the range. if it breaks 3250 and go north a little further, then i belive it is north bound.

the same age-old problem... either not enough data to look in depth, or a completely distorted/even wrong point of view.

for example... 3299 through the lense on January, 13th on H4. I'd always have chosen 3306 at least, never 3299...

bbl, around asia. flu is coming, in summer, as usual.
