{quote}I don't usually like taking trades around Frankfurt open thats all as they tend to have fakeouts a lot and depends on how far they fake out and as I wasn't going to be here I don't like it much

Taking a chance on an EA short this morning, even though I don't really like this time of day. On the h1 chart, the previous 5 candles show a bearish falling 3 candle pattern a strong continuation pattern, which took out the demand area below, and h4 had a bearish engulfing, so worth a shot as I have to go out, I'm expecting some drawdown because of Frankfurt opening and the BRN but we'll see how it goes. Take profit set at 100 pips and script set to move to breakeven at 30 pips. {image} {image}

{quote}Update: Breakeven +1 was achieved so just a matter of waiting now. I will take it early if I see a reversal candle on h1 or h4. {image}

{quote}Change of plan, moved my take profit to +50 instead of 100, I have to go out again and would rather have it in the bag if it hits, thats around the atr line and NY about to open in 15 mins.

{quote}+50 hit just in time for me to go out, I wouldn't be surprised to see it hit the next h1 demand area at 4396 but I can go out now with peace of mind {image}

Took profit earlier than intended. Moved tp to 50 pips, it couldn't be reached because of spread. In the meantime the last couple of h1 candles had long wicks and were really struggling so I decided to take what I've got (around 40 pips) and call it a day. I can't monitor it anymore since I have to leave. {image}

Thanks Kelly I have a confession to make, I'm really banging my head against the wall for having bailed on an EJ trade that I took last night. I just didn't want to hang on to 2 positions because I was dead tired and it was late and I had to stop monitoring. I felt GJ was much higher probability, while EJ seemed a little bit lost. So I cut my EJ position around b/e and let GJ run. Unfortunately the correlation was not broken by the time I woke up and I had taken a loss instead of what would have been a 50 pip TP on EJ...

Here's some of the PA I look for... I take outside bars only as a continuation pattern. I take double bar high/low with lower/higher close as a reversal pattern. I look for pinbars (my last trade was entered based on a pin-like formation)... It makes for high probability trading and cheap stops... I look for these patterns on M15, H1, up to D1 and sometimes W1 (rarely), because I want to know if I'm still in the trend or if the bigger picture (24 hours worth of information in one candle) is showing a turn around... {image}

{quote} So you're looking for these patterns in the H1 and H4?
