Hi all,

Whats your approach to taking a trade where all everything looks good to enter but the average daily trading range has already been reached?
on say the 4 or 1 hr time frames.

Had cut loose my E/Y trade with minimum damage. Not liking price movement. Keeping 2 trades, G/U & G/Y (both long). Could be looking at a trade in 15 mins with E/Nzd

Personally, I'd consider the trade a risky one and not take it.

{quote} Thanks for your feedback. That said, the trade is not yet profitable and it is likely to reverse when the next 4-hr candle appears, about 30 minutes from now. Therefore, given the prevailing trade, uptrend, would it have been wise to take the trade in the opposite direction despite the clear short signal?
If you start second guessing the primary signal you will get paralysis by analysis. Then you will start adding indicators and before you know it, you are not trading simple anymore.

If the trade was a loser, then it was a loser. Close it and move on if you are a one in and one out trader.

If you scale in, wait until the next good signal and apply your money management.

It is important to understand that a good signal is not a guaranteed profit.

Would BigE have considered the current candle as the second candle ? , as there is a doji between the last two candles and theprevious bull candle[attach]1451162 {image}
Big E would tell you that the HA candles need to be out front. They give an easier read.

Yes, I think this is good advice. I got burned by entering near the top of the ATR on good TDI crosses on the second candle. It reversed on me and I got stopped out with a vengeance on three trades and the others just languished around. So much for my 5 day win streak lol. Oh well keep swinging.

Hi omonisha,

I see you trade right at open price of the first HA candle. But, i think it's not confirmed because TDI not cross. How can you decide to entry like that?

I'm using EA to backtest realtime and above is GBPCAD chart that show your chart right at the open of first HA candle (note that TDI doesn't confirm). Can you explain what's the reason you take this trade?

Thank you for posting chart, omonisha. Your trades inspires me so much.

Regards,

Fantastic trading , well done ,
I'm still in that long E/NZ trade , was - 32 at one stage now - 12 at the mo (harmonics kept me hanging in )
It's a bit of a saga , death by a thousand cuts , I'm on 999 right now .
but also had one loser and one winner , flat on those two . It's hard work , only to lose money -- I still have a lot to learn .

Just lucky, wolf. Anyway, took time off from the computer to look at some beautiful "fillies",some royal,some not so royal at the Royal Ascot. The gold cup was won by leading light and someone just won £100k on odds of evens before tightening at 10/11
