{quote} Welcome aboard, Lawnman. Glad we've been able to help in some way. To add to Hal's comment (if that's ok) save your screen to your desktop, then reply-to-thread, then upload from device and insert. That way you have a copy on your desktop as well (start a file of goodies) instead of saving a screenshot. Makes it easier to add notes as well. Looking forward to your contributions.

{quote} I don't understand how you're able to nab them like that! I move too slow.

{quote} At times you have to be quite quick. I often will set an audio alert. In the case of this GJ it turned pretty fast the other way and I was fortunate. Other times I happen to be on the right bar and it can keep going and going....
You set a new audio alert on what exactly , a new low/high of the day?

{quote} Think it through. My trade has triggered and I am looking for that first 5 pips to pounce. I set an audio alert for that 5 pips and bang do my thing. Now I don't always set the alert because I am distracted by something else. In some cases that works out even better because price is moving quickly and I capture even more pips when I make my first move. Sometimes, sadly, price goes the other way and I get stopped out. But that is trading and fortunately does not happen often for me.
It seems trading is going well, however nobody post`s a chart showing a loss, very strange.
Plan, Patience, Profit

{quote} I have posted a few on here. But I don't focus on them. I choose to show successes. Trading and losses go hand in hand. There is no magical formula to prevent them. The key is to control and avoid them as much as possible. Lost pips are hard to make up. But on balance I have managed to stay on the positive side with the trades. Take a look at the EU today you don't want to be on the wrong side of that one each hour, there are clues, you have to put in the time to get there.
What are some tell tale signs other than the 2 H4 train bars?

Do you possibly use any alert for trigger/setup H1 bars by anychance?
