CJ has blown through, so need to wait a bit longer for this one.

EDIT: Would probably help if I remembered to add the chart, lol...

Nice one Hal I rather like those ones that make a strong move and then bounce back with plenty of momentum. Akin to jumping onto a moving train...

Yeah it's not always easy reading movement but doing it over and over and over you tend to pick up movement patterns. I have watched them take out a new high or low only to move back up to cross the open. This disqualifies the potential trade but I study that movement also. The other thing I have been watching is price movement through yesterday's high or low. This method is not a break out strategy but I watch those breaks with interest.

Took the road-less-travelled on the CJ from last night. I sure wasn't sitting all night babysitting this, so I ran an overnight hedge and then unlocked it once the marked level was reached. This was the level of the earlier reverse 1-2-3 I would have taken if I had been awake and lined up almost exactly with the ''almost-a-1-2-3'' that came once the session opened.

Looks like a non-trade on the DAX as the previous high was taken out, however I had already entered. It's always a possibility when you're playing with a short-bladed knife. If you had stayed out, or just missed it or whatever, you would have had an entry on the next bar.

As for the other three, unless you were up in the very early hours, there have been no entries. These will be waiting until after the US Unemployment news this afternoon (uk time).

Yes to both. However these small ones that come up on JPY pairs during the day uk time and just before US Open can often not come to much.

My crystal ball says maybe I got eaten by the JY last hour and those pairs seem right now.

Executed my first 1-2-3 trade on USDJPY +4.2 pips.

Also got a HOLO trade out of the same pair, 15 minutes back.

Minus 4.2?

If you got in as I did, you should still be in with +5 locked in (80%) and the rest running free.

You really are determined to get in on the JPY eh, lol.

Oh and be soooooo careful having anything to do with CHF pairs. Manipulated by the SNB till Heidi's cows come home.

Made amends with my little dust up on the JY earlier. +5 locked. And this time I leveraged a bit, not advised.
