In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

closed the bounce on AC which has been my cash cow last 3weeks
decent bag
FF posting charts images is not working now...very strange
7 positions from 9977-9960 closed at 43
Its basically range trading
Yellen is due to speak at 12.30EST today.She could push USD higher creating new opportunities
my best advise is don't sell USD yet wait for imbalance
UC could shoot 300-500pips North by Friday after NFP provided data comes out positive and Yellen sounds hawkish.
AU and NU 200pips south minimum (creating opportunities for long term longs) and so on.

GJ went against me, entered after price closed below the trend line, off R61, TDI cross and divergence. What should I have considered before taking this trade? {image}
I wasn't in that trade because I didn't get a trendline break where you did. This is the murky area of drawing trendlines. I have much more faith in trend lines drawn from a distinctive low (or high) at or near the beginning of the trend (as in my screen shot) than I do from some point after the trend has started. I also want my trend line to line up exactly with three lows in an up trend.

Edit: I note Lastingwell's post. I'll qualify my text above by saying that I would need a trendline break before I would even CONSIDER a short.
Thanks for your help, warmth and straight talking Heather.

Lol, just had a funny one. Have set up my new computer, MT installed and running, TDI on-board. I see a trade on the cad so I take it only to see I'm immediately down $7. YIKES what the? Check the one click trade box,,,,, Ohhhhhh it's set on $1 
. Look at tdi for the reassurance, hold 
hold, out half a minute later for $5.00. Made 0.5 pips, it's a profit right 
. Could'a held longer according to the candle but not quite ready for $1 trades yet, second trades set at 0.10. Made 1.5 pips with that 
Think I might run with that now rather than 0.01, time to step it up

I've been scalping GA tonight using 0.10 per trade as I mentioned above I was going to do.
Pip count's not that high this way, most pip-gain was 13. Overall I gained 33 and gave back 14. Means I'm up $18 on these six trades (0.01 would have netted $1.80)
I'd noticed standard divergence on the 15 as well, that and tdi triggered the first couple of trades, tdi continuance for the last few.
When I gain confidence with these higher lot trades I'll look for the 50 pip trades again. Linechart to show those 4 good trades..... I notice even those two losses would have come good if I had not been so nervy
For anyone's information I'm now running windows 10, Metatrader's running well, the tdi and associated indicators installed correctly, doesn't seem to be any problems so far.
CAUTION for anyone just starting out trading TDI and real cash, trade 0.01 until you know what you are doing. I've traded this account about a year now and think I'm ready to step up my trading some, hence I've stepped up to 0.10 but I've still got to be careful not to over do things. I've wandered around FF a bit but I always end up coming back here. The higher $ trades mean blowing the account would be so much easier to do and that's something I don't want to do ever, it'sa
