Caught +50 on EA H1 this morning

Went short at FO after a TDI cross and price breaking below the previous 3 red candles. Technically it was a 4th candle entry but the first 2 red candles had no bodies. Plus, I was expecting some momentum given LO was fast approaching. On EA H1 I have noticed that often LO candle follows the same direction as FO. Today was no exception.

Price could move further south but with the GBP PMI fast approaching, I'm done for the day

The entry was borderline retarded, since I had to leave before LO, so I took the short during the FF candle. In my defense at the time I couldn't have known it would be a doji 70 pip target because it seems like an average of the latest moves on the pair, also 80% ATR projection. {image}
After a 60 pip candle like that, scratch that, 100 pip TP, or 100% ATR projection Ready to exit manually if need be.

{quote} Realjumper (one of the founders of the genesis thread) used to say tight stops are false economy, better to have a large SL that never gets hit than tiny ones that constantly get hit. Just because you have a 50 pip SL, doesn't mean you should let it be taken out - you can manually bail on trades when the setup is invalidated by having a mental stop (e.g: "if this candle turns and closes from red to blue and TDI hooks, I'm out" or something similiar).
Many thanks WDays

Ok, I am out for the week... last trades EJ +20 & UChf +10 (did anyone say short trap?)... manual exits - could have kept going but reached what I wanted for the week (its been frustrating!!!). That makes it 35+40+20+10= 105pips (5 wins, a few BE's, 0 lose)... (Switch to light mode.)

Of course you will WDays, mate, you are a great trader - you taught & helped me (I'm following you)... LOL! As soon as I saw my grand total (and I always say this to myself) I said "thats enough for me ". I dont want to keep going and end up negative ... then bang!... I'm out!

Thanks man I wouldn't be as pretentious as to say I teach, but I'm trying to give back to the community that gave me by sharing successful trades and trying to highlight patterns. That's a pretty good tactic, I also like that approach. I don't mind only getting 50 pips or 100 pips so long as I make my weekly %, which means I'd rather bet on quality than quantity. Of course, in time we will be able to do both, ha.

Thanks mate. I'm 30 pips up for the week. Took a step back to re focus after a rubbish trade the other day. Practice, practice, practice!

Great comment WDays - I think I'm going after quality first... so when I get really experienced I can then go after quantity like the more senior traders but for now I'm over the moon with this method!!!
