Bears displaying lots of weakness, price hit the 38% and found some support could not remove all risk but SL at -3

Lost -7 pips on a false move earlier (taken out by .5 of a pip topside). Took profit at the 38.2% for +20 (normally my TP) for +13net on this trade.

Hi Mr. Pip & fellow traders.

First thanks alot for the video and for me your trade management was great. Today I've made two trades so far where the first one was a loss but a minor loss (-3 pips) thanks to your teachings (would've been worse otherwise). It was a short on the GBPUSD 233T @1.5140 expecting 1.5110 and perhaps a retest of 1.51. Since it was against short term order flow I managed it much more aggressively than I would've if I hadn't watched your video.

Second trade I took long @1.5138 expecting 1.5165 (+27 pips). The reason for this trade was since bears didn't show much strength and bulls started to come back with strength. The reason for my 1.5165 expectation was strong structure, completion in the 61.8 zone of main swing.

{quote} Not sure exactly what formation I am searching for but am just after a st target and saw the rejection off the 50% Fib. Will cover shortly though. {image}
Seems to be rejection/resistance at the 61.8% of BC(?). Still yet to be confirmed, I maybe looking for a short, though UJ still on retracement so watching direction atm.

Here is the video of today's session. I hope you find it valuable to your growth. As always please provide feedback and questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=MfqjWl8pd3s
Just got round to watching this as a busy weekend.

Loving the vid and seeing live trades. This helps me look at patience, as you mentioned, within your trades and also evaluating a trade in a live environment, e.g. moving the stop slightly when price approached but your expectation was the same, that would have maybe got stopped out, but instead was a 22 pip winner!!

"come on baby" - did I hear emotion here?

Might help on these live trades to make the fib lines clearer maybe with the numbers? Just would help me a little and maybe others, no big deal if you would rather not though as I still followed it all.

Thanks!

Atm Im feeling empowered almost like if price moves to where I say it should. Gotta keep calm with both feet grounded though.

Shorting GBPUSD @1.5152 with a long term expectation of a 1.51 retest, potientally more. Price failed to make a NSH and a lot of exhaustion, add that to PRZ long term. Aggressive trade management though.
