15min just for analysis short 15min count suggest 3515/17 as possible target for a corrective retrace not a big fan of tfs lower than dailies/weeklies gd lck!
I am a big fan of lower time frames. I dont plan on holding a trade more than a week. If you have a news feed than more power to you. The ff calendar has a weekly outlook which is perfect for my "realistic price targets". 1.41xx is just too far too look ahead in my book. The price gaps last week makes me feel like im doing the right thing by closing trades by friday. Besides everyone else is closing their trades, how else are gaps made anyhow? if you say by news just throw yourself off a bridge...

does a bullish pinbar mean anything if the bottom of the wick touched the 200 ema and bounced off of it?

{quote} that would make life easy for the lazy like me. still wanting a bounce. i would have preferred 3451 touched, first.. for max height... from there 3334 is possible w/o much more higher.. i would now, like to see 3532 again.

{quote} it wasn't a target at the time. i was speculating 1.4148 becoming one, using 3739 as true, meaning we would get above 34xx, to make 1.4xx a target.
With mid-term bulls wanting 3798 getting to 3277/3336 will work in favor for 3739.
we never got to 3085 or 3102, but we can always do that after 3739 without a problem before 1.407x/414x, but what does 3451 has to do with any of these ?

if your a swing trader why do you have tight stops? you trade maj s/r structire which means high probabllity trade. adjust your r:r and risk no more than 2% of account balance. No reason a swing trader should be stopped out by to tight of stop loss unless his entry was invalid.

many ways to skin a cat mate.
there is no reason why swing trades can't start with tight stops either.

massive incorrect interpretation, how long you trading?

i don't use tight stops but some times my entries are as tight as 1p or 2 p from my stop out

avg s/l is 40p/50p

I see a lot of fantasies here with 1.37, 1.40 and above..How do you think this happens..just like that in a flash...we have to wait.market is in sell condition since 2008..have you noticed that?

when price starts to move up this thread become silent,

2% per trade risk i never understood

i use 5% or 7% to enter a trade with isl 50p stop and i wait for my original entry level a lot, then i keep on adding to position to my target with trailing s/l after breach and close of any significant supp or res level or some wave count/ patterns.

What is incorrect about my interpretation? Enlighten me. I made my point of why a swing trader should never use tight stops based off of his trade being a high probability. I have been trading for four years. I think you contradicted yourself by saying that you don't use tight stop losses but sometimes it's 1-2 pips. I'm 34 years old which means I never interpret anything massively. Why are you concerned of my age anyhow? Why trade if your analysis warrants only a 1-2 pip probability? 1-2 stop loss is like trying to snipe something with a bb gun a mile away, its just not practical.
