Looks like 1.3263 + spread was a winner

Price never hit 63

That's why I included "+spread"

Spread for me was like 2 pips so 1.3265 if you wanna get technical

Price respected 1.3265 twice but a re-entry like that is too risky, IMO especially considering the UoM news coming out

I do a lot of higher TF analysis in conjuction with VSA (beyond the scope of this thread) and I like to look at long-term support and resistance. I noticed that in the H1 there was resistance turning into potential support (see yellow rectangle in pic)

Level is holding but I don't like the sell-off that just occurred close to the previous day's high. It's Friday and EU has been trending up all week. A lot of professional traders unwind their positions and take profits on Friday...

No I didn't like the sell-off that was occurring so close to yesterday's high and Friday's can be tricky to trade...

Also approaching the end of the London session in about 1 hr

Are you using the 15 minute rule? (closing trade if after 15 mins it hasn't hit ur target)

i've been noticing this, i.e. if tp hasn't been hit soon after entry then probability of hitting target diminishes. Do you close as a matter of course 15 mins after entry irrespective of where price is?

Really can depend on the PA but it's a good rule to live by. If price hasn't hit your target after 15 mins that usually means lack of buyers/sellers at that level.

@ sho:

How can u generally say closing a position after 15 min if target didnt get hit is a good option.

Dont you have to say for a system like the one tradet here its a good option?

Hi Oakwood,

I mean for this thread system in particular, yes. Not for other systems.
