GBP/CHF

Anyone still in this pair? I'm hanging on still. ALMOST got a pinbar on the weekly.

I closed 1 of the 2 IB breaks I took to get in the trade. I closed my 3rd trade which got really hairy when the back of the pin broke, but my stop was at 1.6945 (almost lost my nerve and closed manually, glad I didn't because it shot down and I closed out at 1.6777) I still have 1 trade open.

Here is trade #3 off H1. Basically a continuation pinbar off the 38% fib retrace... I'm thinking this was a bit aggressive even for me. LOL.

Just my 2 cents.

I agree, there are a lot of things wrong, especially since it's not really a pinbar. The only thing going for the setup is the back n' forth between the support and resistance TL's and that seems to be winding up for a breakout eventually.

great question and a simple answer but it wont seem simple to you for a while. it will however if you keep the focus of only taking the best set ups. how do you know the best? after practicing for a while.

ok the answer.

i literally know with almost certainty that when i enter a trade its going to do one of two things virtually every time.

1. give me a profit either full or partial

or at the least

2. give me a chance...
Thank you for sharing that. It's good to have that reminder every now and again.

Nice post. I'm still scratching my head, but I'm glad you had an ah-ha moment. Many pips.

Got into hockey just a little bit in the late 90's. I lived in San Jose so I used to go to the Sharks games. I think he was with the NY Rangers then.

What I do know is, I watched all of the best in the NHL during the period between the '80's to 2000's & never saw anyone match him for taking a game by the scruff of the neck & making it his.

I even made sure that my son got to see him {when he went back to Edmonton} as an LA King just so he can Always say...
Yeah... I think I know what it means to be commited.

Those were the days when, during the second intermission, I would say...

Go through babypips school. Read two books "Pring on Price Patters" by Martin Pring & "Trade Your way to financial Freedom" by Van Tharp. Then after you do all that open a demo account and read the entire J16 thread or at least the first 300 pages or so. www.babypips.com

Don't bother with anything else. Should take you a week to a month to complete the above.

I was knocked out at BE by that spike on Friday. What is your plan? Looks like a tough area to be in right now.

Sounds reasonable, you've had an excellent run so far. Good work.

Only if I'm trading in the direction of the primary trend, never on a counter trend.

I think I'm slowly beginning to see this. Hopefully, I don't need another butt kicking by the market to figure it out.
