Two trades from today.

EA +40 pips. Resistance R1 and 1.4450. Consolidation, triangle formation, break below MR1. When price reached DP, moved my stop to BE. Closed after dragon fly at S1.

Second trade +22 pips. Flag at 1.44, retest, continuation on the down side. MS2 was target, so closed after break of MS2.

{quote} Nice trades mate! I like your trades ! Do you trade mostly during Asia ?
thanks, mono.

late asian to an hour or so into london. then, lon/ny overlap - whatever floats my boat each day.
if asian gives me a nice entry or two into a strong daily trend, then rest of the day is more about trade management with an eye on the daily atr.

you are right, pretty much one in one. I didn't notice it first, your chart looks different, large candles.

gbpjpy m15 long

this one worked out well taking a cue from h4, then dropping down to m15 to nail the entry!
rsi bullish divergence was seen on both timeframes (not marked on h4)
attached charts have self-explanatory annotations.

entry: 171.27
exit : 173.15

Hi EV and pgd - hope you are both well......many a long moon since I have posted here, so as requested, here's one......now I am focused on UsdTry (Turkish Lira) and its ADR tells you why.....also, its moves are almost all during the European Session.

Whilst I trade mainly off the 5m / 1m charts, using EVs (old?) methodology these were a couple of buys on the breaks as shown for 80 & 93 pip gross moves from the entries - this contract has normal spreads of 5/8 pips, with spikes of 20/30 pips, usually around turns, so I don't use stops.....plenty of posts elsewhere for any who might be interested in UT

Cheers

Islander

islander,

welcome back!

i started doing UT after i read a couple of your posts on your regular thread.
in fact, the 2nd trade you posted here today is about the same as the one i posted as a |> b/o at post #9034 above.
my entry was a bit late, though.

i agree, the adr is quite attractive. however, the pip value is about 1/2 that of usd pairs which probably explains the high adr.

do post more often.

cheers.

thanks, mono.

yes, it's an HnS too...
had noticed that but i don't bother with that aspect on lower timeframes.
for me, HnS on h4 and above give a nice trade context when taking i/day entries on lower tf's.

why don't u trade cable?
do u trade EU?
which pairs do u trade?

cheers!

Apologies, I only noticed your post AFTER I had made mine!

I actually think that this works better on the 5m TF as the pull backs can be quite swift.....gross pips shown, so realistically take off 20 or so.....
