Whoo-hooo, look at EN / GN drop. Normally I'd be trailing my stops but, since that was a counter trend trade and PA moving right back into solid support, i decided to take the money and run. Maybe NY will give PA a push back up and tomorrow asian session will provide the continuation south. Pips in the pocket are better than none though.

EJ - following GJ but to many obstacles for me - bouncing off W1 supp - would have worked on early entry

{quote} This is the EN trade taken today. I looked at the market PA prior to FO open and selected GJ short and EN long. I think the reason for going long on EN was 'anticipating' a strong close and a continuation from a TDI bounce. The trade was littered with mistakes from inception. {image}
this trade could have worked as a bounce trade but needed the good ol` LK entry i bet ya LK did just that but only expected more from the trade - as would i
some other things i spotted @ entry it may have been anticipated that a poss div was forming - thats all apart of the chances of success also where you have your SL doesnt look like a pivot low - the bounce trade had a pivot low

{quote} BE trades go into the "win column" as far as I'm concerned. At least you didn't lose on the effort !

{quote} may my chart show I was deadly greedy
just a perfect entry - a solid 50pip'er every time - i would have done the same but taken a BE becuase you are then flipping the coin on win/lose for PA to retest the highs / break fractal high and go long ???

{quote} Thanks GS, My SL was set at -50 from entry, If I had not chased the market and got in at a lower price instead the SL would have been at the swing low. I have to put this one down as a lesson learned and move on from it. Thanks for the comments on the trade
i would be very happy about that - period

{quote} both you and I need to correct our mistakes where you need to stop chase the train and I should get off the train at the right stop. Deal?
