didn't take it, would like higher, but perfect for some... {image}
tbh, posted it for others but I should have taken it, perfect, worst that would happen is stop out for some, got greedy and wanted higher for better RR... or is that sensible and patient?

Still going for the move down.
Changing perspective if EMA5 crosses SMA8 or rsi breaks the TL.

Hi Guys,

Never really trade cable much so after a bit of help or criticism please.

I am thinking about going long the pound either vs the USD or CHF with 2-3 week trade time.

The cable looks ripe for a long not sure where I would put the stop but upside targets means it looks like a favorable RR.

What do you guys think about this trade idea?

I've been stalking a short entry all morning, but that hourly engulfing has left me a bored trader, on the sidelines for now​

I think you missed the CHF one for now, probably best to wait for a retrace before getting in.

also I think that cable needs to drop before getting higher, (1.5xxx) might see 1.45/6 before 1.38xx and lower, but again I think the time to go long was back at 1.38 if you were looking for a long term swing. Also the inability to place a confident/logical stop should invalidate your trade automatically...

one more thing, where do you think price would be in 2-3 weeks? and why? as in why hold it for this time? in a weeks time it may peak and then drop after the second week, but because you have told yourself you are going to hold it for that long you probably wont close out... and then end up b.e or whatever

I can see 1.4 going again, perhaps a good chance to short from around these highs on this move, I think this is a small move within a move... 1.443xx may be the best chance at a short, if that swing provided a valid lower low and isn't a swing within a swing then 1.448x/1.446 may be good opportunities, I haven't looked beyond there for a chance to short, I'm setting all my trades up for longs lower down, so far 1.4011 was my best chance since I posted it a while back... but I'm still waiting for lower, although USDx doesn't look good in near future ​

The question is will it get back there to put a trade on? If it doesn't then I have missed the opportunity.

What engufling there has to be a gap

Think it's more like a Belt-Hold candlestick pattern.
Is considered a minor trend reversal pattern that can indicate a bullish or bearish trend reversal.

But hey I'm just hoping my trade will continue the right way. Getting some doubts.

​you should move your strategy to live... demo is pointless, unless your a beginner and don't have much idea, something to mess around with... for someone who clearly knows their stuff, basics at least... should be on live. pressing a button to sell on a demo with money that isn't real and you don't care about as much or at all, its different...

How come you think I missed the swissy? Surely there is till plenty of head room?

I generally donīt use fixed stops per se, I prefer vol based stops based around what would logically call my trade a failure.

2-3 weeks is an arbitrary figure I pulled out my head. I would only hold on that long if it was acting right.

What kind of mid term target do you have for the cable?
