Hi Excess,
I think it was not safe to take EA trade untill CNY news come out.This pair takes CNY news seriously due to AUD.
if it were not CNY data day,I would have waited for it to break today's high to enter long. ( Pardon me if my conditional sentence is wrong grammetically
English is my 2nd language 
)
It was my 2cent as I am learning, I hope you find it little helpful .
Regards

EA failed trade. Entered because: - Trend was bullish since LO - H1 & H4 Stochs were high - M5 & M15 Stoch were curling up from OS - Entered at close of M5 Matrix PA turned However.…. Dang it. {image}
Did you ever put your sl exact on the high/low ?
I recommend to add few pips to the SL. Because, often the PA retest the area again.
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the comments team.
@Fame, Yes i put SL pretty much on the swing low. I see PA eventually went in the planned direction (without me)

I probably wouldn't have taken your trade, but if I did, given that the swing low (1.5608 on my chart) - 5 = 1.5603, I probably would've put my SL on the otherside of 1.56 - e.g. 1.5598 - just to give that tiny little extra bit of room.
Just my 2 cents, I'm by no means perfect at this either.
1 pip at a time ... if the entries are strong, the rest will follow ...

GJ M5 Short, 37 Pips. Entered Because: - Frankie open - M5 Matrix - M5, M15, H1 Stochs dropping (H4 Already on the floor) Exited first sign of M5 Matrix discolouration for some safe pips. ExcessFX {image}
Nice work ... I got to the screens a bit too late but it did look pretty good - certainly a trade I would've taken.

The key is knowing what to look for
Had some rough Tokyo sessions this week, jiggled my charts a little to include H1 & H4 Stochs and now being rather strict as to what i enter.
It seems to be paying off.

{quote} Thanks Marty, been waiting 13 hours for these setups. The key is knowing what to look for
Think you mention two key skills there:
- Patience; and
- Discipline
Re H4, I keep an eye on it, but will happily trade against it if H1/M30/M15 allign. May alter my profit expectations.
Depends on the upcoming news

On my GJ trade in post 611 i actually took a very cheeky pre frankie long with a very tight SL.
The M5 stoch was punching up into the M15, also the H1 was looking good, PA never took off.
