Pending short order at 1424 (about 1415 on your charts), but PA turned 2 pips shy of my entry and then retraced to where my TP would have been. This invalidates my original order so it has been withdrawn and I wait for the next setup. Even though I didn't get filled, the PA moving toward my entry then retracing to TP is the move I was looking for so this is one of the filters I use.

Morning,

Just launched the platform. Yesterday's OR's a good benchmark as it didn't get broken.
So 350-380
Next Level above is you know where: 410
If they are willing to continue then 440 and 455 are next.

[Edit]
I honestly don't know what's coming next. We may see that wtf move/stop hunt above 1.14 mentioned yesterday or a strong continuation.

I still stick to quick scalps.

Dollar is still weak.

{quote} thanks for asking.. but nope.. i'm a bad trader.. and luck kicked me in the a$$ today.. when price got down to my BE at asia session, i was asleep and it was up again when i woke up.. and i also expected a dollar sell off at london open where i planned to place a bigger lot size(0.1) to hedge my shorts, but my net connection F-ed up 2 minutes before that and just now started working.. also i shorted(0.01) just above monthly R1, bcoz it resisted yesterday.. which the price already blew through and climbing..
You shouldn't be trying to predict what PA is going to do, you should have setups that have good probability of working and then trade the probabilities. Trade what you see, not what you think the market is going to do.

{quote} If you can hold dd until 1.1460 then don't add more sells - nor hedge, sl a bit above that because if it leaves from there then 1.1520 would be next. Not much between here and January POC. {image}
thanks for the heads up.. ya, i can hold them since they all are smaller lots.. adding up my shorts, its 0.06 lot sizes only.. so, another 50p up is not a bigger issue.. i can use mini lots to cover these shorts, but i hate its SLs getting it.. my account can handle it, but i cant..

also, i wanted to apologize for my whining here, as i'm neither an experienced trader, nor giving any useful data..
Dont trade like me..

Well E/G is overextended atm. Might keep the up move restrained. Will add some GU long when it stops doing its crap. Closed half of EU anyway, don't want to get 0 after 1 hr of waiting.

Its all good Sanvulture, part of the learning process, I didn't see it as whining at all.

Maybe we get to turn down a bit before 12pm (gmt+3). 1.1380-1.1385. 12-12:30 could give a boost for another try.

Closed it now, made a mistake in GU and lost all the daily profit Waiting for 80 to buy.

I like that kind of morning rallies, especially when they look like this.
Holding short from where the red arrow is. Will close it in a bit.

Thank you, yes, i'm still learning..
market goes against me only when i open trades.. other times, 70% of times, it does what i expect it to do.. but when i open trades from my expectations, it goes against me.. if only the market's alive, this will make sense..

and my net F-ed up again and i lost whatever profit/loss i could have got from GU.. lol its like i'm getting cut off from the market at important times and levels.. today's such a weird day..
Dont trade like me..

Then wait for it to do what you expect it to do first and then enter. Instead of entering hoping that it will do what you expect it to do.

EU is making fun of me

That's a good one.

Or worse yet, as in my case today while holding bad entries...Trade what you see, not what you hope the market is going to do.

Thank you.. but then, i'll miss the perfect entries at important levels.. and then i'll be staring at the chart wondering if the move will continue or reverse, bcoz then my sl would be hit.. its bcoz i miss good entries and place orders in noisy levels, my SLs get hit..
if SL hitting and profit taking ratio is 1:2, then i'm ok with it, but its always the opposite, if not more SL hits..
Dont trade like me..
