Its not all fun and games. Shorted the break of the ND and got stopped out. {image} {image}
nothing wrong with the trade .... I am also in a sell on GU based on weakness on higher time frames , a break

1. upthrust on high volume
2. up move on ultra high volume = sellers
3 retesting of bar at 2 ... it was reversed
4 .. my entry up move on low volume on down trend

Excuse my non naming of bars .. mind is rusty lol ... we just need to know what the bar shape and associated volume means .. not all the fancy names

welcome back to trading what happened to those lovely 100 pip range days with easy entries ?

Hopefully US session will be a bit better .. so far not impressed with the London session at all .

Personally I would not be buying either GU or EU based on what I can see on the higher time frames , but there is no selling pressure either.

It maybe one of those days to go an enjoy the Summer.

I don't know if forex isn't traded as much as it was or if different tactics are being used. It feels like one session price just goes into a choppy consolidation period then the other session there will be some movement.

Yesterday for example on GU there was some movement during the first half of London, then consolidation during US.

Consolidations like GU and EU, are in now are precursor to huge moves ,.. just a matter of time.

A couple of my trading buddies think EU is being accumulated but this phase has lasted 33 weeks ....

What I tend to do in ranges like this is go in with two standard and try and grab 20 to 30 pip.

There is alot of news in US session .... should lead to some movement ... but knowing my luck the volatility will last for 30 seconds and i will not find a good entry ..lol

In the mean time oil is in a good trend ... traded that yesterday.

The trade could have worked out. Your SL was too tight. I would've placed the SL above that potential selling bar.

Thanks I will try to widen them a bit in the future, I just like to keep my risk as low as possible.

My last one for today, I hope no one minds me posting 3 trades in one day.

I saw some volume come in, and immediately afterwards there was tiny volume to the downside, so I took the long on the break of the NS.

Teb . Each trader has his or her style . As long as it works for you. Having profit by the end of the year is what counts . What I have found has been working for me is trading the very clear set ups . Sometimes I can get an entry where my stop only needs to be 30 pip and may target 100 pip . The entry is normally off a 15 min chart I will post more often starting mid August and will be blogging on our blog along with Liam, Dr G and Steve . Oil is great right now. I do not trade it much but this week have been selling any weakness as the daily ,...
Not posting anymore but still quietly checking in from time to time. That said I couldn't help but pop in to say welcome back Malc! And Steve's here too... yes sir! Feeling like old times.

Well I for one would love to check out a new blog if you, Dr. G, Steve and Liam and are involved. Hope you'll share the link sometime. Sounds very interesting. It's been a long time since I've shared any convo's with the Dr.

GU might get a nice kick in the teeth with Thursday's bank rate decision, by the way it's nice to see you back.

I just hope that the blog doesn't mean that going commercial is the next step. We've seen how that usually ends up with countless others...

It took me a couple of tries to get this trade.

First trade was off the NS and I was stopped out, second off NSP.

awesome stuff.. VSA allows you to keep your stops tiny.

I didn't mark it on the chart, but I entered off the bar to the far right that I marked off with a line, squat bar.

*added the squat bar to the chart
