Yea, but you have a great satisfaction when you catch one like this and it gives the expected results

{quote} Still in from the day E/U spike to 1.39 but have partialed the E/A shorts {image}
damn, you are one such lucky bad ass, that's big bucks! I had a number of shorts at 1.38 and high 1.37 levels and closed them all at just 15-20 points. I was scalping with high leverage. I am working on having nerves of steel like you guys, it's the only piece missing to my trading strategy. good job man!

{quote} You told yesterday you have some kind of Audit when entering position,could we see some questions you ask your self?I think you read charts very well...just want to learn if isn't a problem?
for entering positions it kind of goes like this: pair, trend, timeframe, congestion, retrace, support, resistance, target,s/l, quantity, entry criteria, exit criteria, fundamental input,chart before, chart after, what I did well, what I didn't.. then you take all these and you cross reference them with whatever your system is... yes/no, and if any of them is a no, then you have to have a very good reason why you take the trade against your system... something like that..

keep in mind, this will not guarantee a successful trade, but it will organize your thoughts and keep you from acting on impulse.. it doesn't really work for scalps as there's not enough time obviously..

No I didn't short E/U it's a lazy pair useful as indicator only

Shorted E/A around 1.5590 and E/CAD 1.48155 when E/U spike to 1.39. E/CAD has travelled over +400 pips one way while E/U is still ranging.

Only one invalid criteria amongst 10 or 12 and you skip the trade even if let's say 8 OK, 3 neutral and 1 NoGo amongst 12 ?

If only I was not coming from a loss, I could have joined your long and could have recovered 50%. congratulations!

You got me that time ;-) I wasn't patient enough either, should have stayed in for my TP at 20 and 27.

Anyways, obviously something I need to work on, always find ways to improve ;-)

{quote} Why? Not expecting A/U to react until touching the low {image}
A rebound possible in daily TF since it broke the upper channel. On the other hand (taper + RBA action) can push down the price even without consolidation.

one or two invalids.. no, not really.. but it would make me look twice.. that's all...can't be that rigid..

then in the weekend you can look at them with a clear mind.. good way to improve..

I made it my rule because it looks like revenge trading. I had 2 events where I readily traded right after a loss and it got the best of me. First total loss was at $1500 then the next total loss was $6500. still kicking myself in the butt to this day, hahaha. But I have recovered all, even doubled it. not bad huh?
