I should have exited on the first push like I normally would, but sought a slightly larger profit target than usual. [Was targeting about the middle of that blue bar on the run down. Of course price has now reached it.]

Divergence + Pin Bars & HA Retest + TDI Cross + H1 TDICross

{quote} What sort of rules are you using for TP? Big E seemed to go by the rule of when the TDI levels/hooks to get out. You appear to be using a more S/R type target setting?

I trade with the pre-vailing trend and look for support/resistance to TP.

I tend to use the TDI for judging entry and then watching PA for my exit.

Big E was trading at $10 a pip so he wasn't going to take any chances in losing what he had gained even 10 pips was $100 to him.

I'm not trading anywhere near that level by risking 0.25% per trade.

Same thing as the other trade, thought it might have a little better legs -

For some reason, I must have not submitted my earlier post showing my EU loss today [maybe it was subconsciously on purpose ]-

Same setup as the others, just too early on it - the only difference was the TDI really had no divergence, and the stoch divergence was weak. Plus I didn't have a retest or stop hunt like the other two -

what stop you from taking the long 4 candles earlier. HA was also blue, just curious

{quote} what stop you from taking the long 4 candles earlier. HA was also blue, just curious
The gray box on the chart is from that indicator I-paramon-work-time, which shades the New York / London overlap when I trade.... point being, that first blue was prior to the box meaning I was sleeping!

If you notice, however, I did take the first blue (well, the first HA turn on EU), so I wouldn't have necessarily skipped it. However, I much prefer the HA turn, HA turn back [retest], HA turn again (i.e. Blue, Red, Blue) in this circumstance. Its not a necessary prerequisite in my trading plan, although a much preferred condition. To be honest, I rushed the EU entry because GU was looking strong, and was too confident in their correlation. Not a big deal, just a reminder to trade each pair/market/instrument on its own merit.

Thank you - I appreciate the comments - I actually trailed that bar up with a buy limit that of course never got filled because I was getting too greedy on my pricing. And, of course, ended up getting the worst pricing!

I'll be in bed before this would trigger, plus its not a great time to be trading [but might be by the time its ready], but this is the picture of a chart prior to when I start getting interested in it: approaching HTF support, overextended run down, TDI and Stoch starting to form some divergence, and TDI down in the 20s/30s. Then again, I could be completely wrong and this will go down for another 100... I guess that's trading though

EJ completed an ABCD pattern on H4, so its was more than likely at least a retracement might be due, coupled with a good cross of TDI 12-2 the cross was at 2 oclock at the time of opening the trade

TP currently at +30 might move it higher on strong momentum

Hi

I would be very cautious in taking trades against falling MBL or an arched MBL , always remember what Emmanuel said while back never trade against falling MBL

Have done that and burnt my fingers many times
