Got clear.
2 short attempts on EU from top of range.
Tightened stop on 1st trade and got hit. Re-entered when price closed below Y high again.

Yesterday's high (I am guessing that is what that means) is meaningless at that point because price already went above it overnight. Your trade, sadly enough, came right after this picture was taken. Not surprisingly, it came right from that big shaded area you have drawn. Why draw it if you aren't going to wait for it? (rhetorical)
Be bullish on you.

10am EU short after pinbar.
Reason - lowest risk to find out if that was as high as price was retracing up.

I removed the post with the pics as I wanted to re-take them, but since you answered...

Not what I was looking for, but I like that trade better than the one you took. Or, staying with EU, you could have said I'll try a full retrace of the 9:15 to lower my risk. Either was better. What would both have required of you?

What other trade could have been the best?

Both would have required waiting for a clearer setup. patience.
As for the best trade...I think GU short after 9:45 rejection of the highs. Risk was a touch higher than the other trades though.

Nope, not the one I am looking for.

But since you mention it... if I had to choose GU, I would say a long on a full retrace of the 8:30... why would I say that?

As for the previous question... clearer setup? No, setups are pretty clear, they either happen or they don't. Patience - yes. And the missing answer of what was required.. appreciation of risk achieved by knowing clearly where a good place to trade would be when you sit down and look at the chart. Seeing a good place always comes before seeing the price. I am sure I have said that somewhere in the last 20 years I have been on here.

Now, try again... what other trade could have been the best?
Be bullish on you.

While we await Mr. Pip... I see others are reading this.. anything I am saying helping you? Or were you hoping I was showing a system and you think all this back and forth sucks? Let Mikepip and me know. Are you learning from Mikepip? Do you hate Mikepip? Feel free to join in and chat about Mikepip, I'm sure he'll love it.
Be bullish on you.

Lovely post above...

Long on GU retrace at 8:30 because it was a low risk follow up trade.

10am EJ short...or...8am GJ short as best trades.

Yes you have certainly talked about having clear places to trade from maybe like 2 or 3 (million) times.

8 am GJ better than the ones you took, how about gj long at 10:30ish
Not following the EJ short, but I could stomach an 11:45 setup and then long.

You getting the drift?

When I talked to you about recognizing direction:
1) it didn't mean to ignore location
2) it didn't mean force one in that direction

It DID mean
1) know direction, so when it gets to location you can better manage risk and reward.

For Mikepip and everyone else struggling:
You either aren't doing the work, or you are doing work that doesn't benefit you, or you are doing work in the wrong order. Don't trade unless it is a priority, one that you will enter mentally ready (journal out any bad emotion, look at the chart and see locations, then wait for those locations and take the best risks)
Be bullish on you.

Yes seeing your point. Can you post your charts so I can see exactly what you are seeing?

Mike sent me a note the other day saying he wanted to see a chart like me because sometimes he struggles to see it. I am not doing or saying anything magical here. Mike only trades around the London open, all he has to do is prepare a chart, look at the overnight action and then wait for price to get to good places that offer low risk. Edge of a range to the middle, edge of a range away from the middle. that is how you get low risk. He has to know that he won't have a trade every day, but he needs to be there for the days that he does. He has to enter mentally in control.

When I go on hiatus, he searches for a new guru. he doesn't get any more profitable. when I go on hiatus, he should perfect the rules he has learned. He has the knowledge to out trade almost any guru out there, but he doesn't put it to work because he has expectations and wants that are unrealistic... hence the reason he searches for new gurus. We can't make up for lost time or money in an instant.

For those reading this that don't know me, I say all of this out of my own experience... not to beat up on Mikepip.
Be bullish on you.

Ok I do see. I misread your 10:30ish GJ long idea thinking you meant the 10:30 candle, but you meant enter at 10:30...that makes sense.

For everyone viewing, I am putting myself out there because
1. I want to be a better trader
2. GEJORDAN knows his stuff. He cuts through all the bs and gets to the core of what we all need to do and overcome to succeed.
Listen to him!

Unfortunately this thread is in a corner of FF where the footfall/traffic is low...

To increase this maybe in your next trade post have a headline like 'Aiming to BAG $15000 on the DRAGON in 15 mins....You 2 can join the PARTY'
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it!

Hi all,

I'm still here reading. What you say makes sense GE and I hope I'm learning from mikepip. My trading is probably similar to Mike's, string a few wins together, then takes some losses.

Feel like I am about to vomit, I haven't stayed up this late in so long, but anything for Mikepip. I looked across your 4 pairs... GU and EU both looked good. As you can see, even with the horrible entry, I am keeping risk in check and have much better opportunity for reward

Here is GU

My areas are a bit lower. I did see that area holding. Thanks for risking a vomit to teach!
