We might, we might not. I tend to restrain myself from asking questions like this. It puts you in bias mode, and that is not good if want to trade flexible. As Dee said, trade what you see. It is easier to do that if you don't have any opinion of what price will do. Just my thoughts.

Oh, and welcome aboard!

Don't worry. If trading was easy we would all be doing it. Few clues on the chart about the strength of the trend

Separation and Angle on the 50 & 200 MAs
Stochs not going below it's 50 line. Stochs not reaching OS
MACD staying above it's 0.0 line
Breakout of a rising wedge at the 10000 BRN
The long tails on the green candles show the sellers trying to push price back down at the BRN 10000, but then they capitulate.

because of these signs you could safely have loosened your BE and given it a bit more space, remember a 5 pip bar has an actual range of 15 pips so 2 bars higher and it could still come back and pinch your BE sl.

{quote} I think my ballz have started to shrink too, i think i should look into buying a swedish pump. Not sure that will enlarge anything, but worth a shot. {image}
I have no idea what a Swedish Pump is!!! The mind boggles, is it Blonde? is it easy to hold onto whilst moving rapidly back and forth?

Nope, if you want some fun, have a look at the carpe diem thread. Still not agreeing on the color of the MA to use.

Had two BE+2 at the same level, wicks took me out even tough i was generous to the level before going to BE. Third try was the charm +25. I targeted the next brn that was also a 50% HTF retracement. Worked out ok.

Considering nobody is posting, and it is slow out there, i will post this trade(BE+2)...nothing exciting folks, just me looking for a short trade... at the time i thought the logic was sound, and i was hoping that the hdiv on 5 fails.

You are totally right Dee. Sorry for that. Here are my annotations and the images.

First we were below daily openning price, having a down bias. I then considered the yellow rectangles as a potential resistance areas. Saw divergence as marked in the chart as well. Those points were basically what suggested me entering short.

That's what I thought you had seen. I redrew the S&D rectangle, now look at it, along with all the other points already mentioned by the other two. You were basically not wrong in your thinking, but the other clues should have stayed your hand and waited until price had broken down below the support level formed by the consolidation zone to the left.

if you look at points 2-3 the reversal was clean and decisive, at 5-6 it was any thing but clean.

I keep having to say this, not just to you but every one. Divergence is a sign that "some thing" is going to happen, it is not a signal saying "this WILL happen"

{quote} Hey Cfabian. I am not the most qualified to comment as i am student as well, but i would like to point out a thing or two if i may. First, i noticed that your BRN is set up "incorrectly" - on the ger30 chart, you are showing a brn every 25 pips. I dont think those levels have significance and will throw you off. Second, your chart is really difficult to read, i don't know how you spot divergences - 2 macd's with same settings and and 2 stochs with similar settings. I think you should simplify it. JMHO. The trade on ger30 was a div, but not...

What would you do with 2 oppositde divergence in your charts? Wouldn't you look for same direction instead?
