Might leave it alone add NFP into the equation trouble all over the place. Let it calm down.

Here we go. Gotta say I'm not confident. Started off low as usual.

Well - halfway to day target. Wait for 17.00 and see what happens.

Flat at the moment.

Late Cable chart, ( posted 19:23 hours)

Looks a nice short break, and then long: but lower time frame ( say 15 minutes) shows trading either end for a profit was not straightforward.

Hello! For this particular trade, (USDJPY) I would go short as the next day bar is crossing the low of the current day bar? I marked the low of the day at 103.113. Would I enter the trade immediately or wait for a pullback and then enter? As the trade is entered should I move stop to BE+1 at +5 and micro manage from there? How long should these types of trades be held onto if they go against? I understand the importance of consistency, with small consistent gains great things can happen. If I have got anything wrong please don't hesitate to criticize, years of harsh coaches - I have thick skin. Thanks P.S. I have read almost the entire thread. Just wanted some input.

Hello Wannalearn12 and welcome.... I do not have stats for U/J but I would trade the break of high as your chart shows make +5 and get out. Another method is wait for trigger then pullback (if it happens) and get your +5 or more that way. That is the easy part. With the Daily I would let the trade go against me approx. -30 before I made a counter trade. I would then look for the next trigger. It could be the break next day or a level break maybe an inside bar break. Trading the 04-00 4 hour candle is easier to trade with same results.

Hi , I am having trouble with my charts.
U/J Daily.. It looks like it might go up to dp (daily pivot) then bounce down. If it breaks the low it is only 30 off the 00. so that is a clue.
IF it happens

edit, my apologies . The low of yesterdays candle Thur is only 6 off the 00 but it was also a pn or nearly a pin lol.

Thank you for your reply Sorry I am not up to date on a lot of the lingo - is that the 4 am bar local time? You trade the break either direction of that bar I assume? I was very interested in your hedging ability, you essentially counter trade an opposite pair with more position size to cancel out the bad trade? I also noticed you put up the EJ and turned to AU more stable? Too Slow showed me most of what I know, I was snooping around and landed here. XD I am not a virgin to the charts as I have made profits / and am positive. I am just not nearly as consistent as I want to be. Reading from post one I have learned a lot. I aim for 5-20 pips a day. I focus mostly one EJ. Not really sure how to trade anything else.. even EJ for that matter ^.^ All the while I will continue to study the charts you have posted. Cheers!

[quote=wannalearn12;9115147]{quote} Thank you for your reply
E/J was my baby as they say and I also used to trade oil.
A/U on the 4 hour candle is a lot slower and getting +5 (after spread) is easier and less stressful and the range is easier to manage.

EJ is about to trigger yes? Will it retrace?

The trade went absolutely beautifully! Thank you Billy and everyone for giving me information to study. Entered 115.822 Closed 115.900

I got 8.5 points at a slightly higher lot size.
Trouble was for some reason Pc went stupid and froze and then triggered an A/U and Cable sell lol.
Cable I managed to close with a lucky 2 point gain but A/U is bad.
