I don't use hard stop on a chart...That is suicide mate. I've a level that I'm targeting in the Gap and this is my first entry into that - I build a position and will scale into it and scale out of it. Its an approach which works for me and allows a little more flexibility. If you wish you could check out the EUR CAD thread where I posted a series of live trades on a swing..sadly there was barely a response so I decided I wouldn't go through trouble again. As you can see price has gone up about 5 pips so far since my entry..I have barely raised...
Yes I noticed that last week, no participation at all in that thread....

True.

I decided after that I wouldn't bother doing it again.

Have you had a good week?

Its a place to hang out when you have quiet moments but if you are looking to craft a strategy - you'd be better investing the time in yourself.

If I am seeing it correctly you are referring to the same below that accumulate and spring down before the snap up and here the same spring up before snap down?

I have no idea what you have written, sorry - that is a little to complex for my brain to absorb.

My target sits within the Gap and I'm building a position accordingly..Sorry but that's all I've got for you.

My shorts were because of the trendline resistance with buffer and the current could be a false breakout to the upside, and if it were to work out, it will be a point of no return hahahhaha.... but I am out of my shorts scalp

My feel is that the target to the upside at 112.20 region is not tagged..... but the pocket and gap below needs to close lol

Just out of curiosity, where will you say / think that oh damn, got in way too early. Better buy this $#!t. Do you have such a lvl / price ?.

You all are hooked on " Gaps" Whore houses cost money. Being hooked can send you broke.

Its not the gap I'm hooked on its the level where it broke out from within the Gap - I've made that VERY clear

Nope, that is to much pressure..I don't put myself under pressure like that.

Before I enter a trade I have an exit in place and trade towards it..My time horizon is longer than a few minutes or a few days and the last time I swing shorted the UJ I held for four months..I'm cool with that if the profit warrants the venture.

Totally understood your philosophy. You are a swing / position trader. Once a great wall street trader said, you dont have to catch every swing of the market. Choose your direction and your entry, have enough money to back your trade and you will end up making money.

By same token, uj can go upto 113.00 113.50 or 109.08 or 108. 01. Even on the higher side its a 200 pips range but if it goes down .....good profit....timing is the only key.☺

Yes, I wholeheartedly subscribe to this too - a position trader walks at a more leisurely pace and smells the roses.

Each to their own but trying to nail an exact entry point with a mega tight stop day after day would send me insane.

Catch you all later. Got to go out for a while.
