Woke up to 155 pips. This is a retrace to the pivot trade and a simple50. Idea #2 and #3. You can go back two posts to my million word essay and see why this area had nice potential. The simple50 was way down there when I went to sleep, so I split ...

Ok, so we have another situation. We are in a No Bias week, so we want to follow the move. So, where do we say the swing is that will serve as our guide that the up move is over? 1.0889 is the easy answer (white line at bottom of picture). Price ...

Yes, your white line and yellow line don't really represent anything on the then current move down. Your blue line is absolutely correct. You could've made it more aggressive by moving it down lower on the high of the last down push that went below ...

No Bias this week. Follow the move. Currently in a down move. Holiday tomorrow in US. Have some options. If trading in front of Holiday, go a bit smaller than usual. Could wait until end of day Monday or Tuesday and see where we are.

What smart money expects dumb money to do. I have been teaching my oldest to trade. She is 12. She is a year in to doing this and should know better. ETB at work. She does idea #2 and idea #3 trading. She gave human characteristics to a candle and ...

Price has turned down as Rearden commented. My trading is done for the week. Be back next week. 140 pips for the week. Around 100 easy ones left on the table. Plenty of opportunity was available. Holiday on Monday. I'll have a bias Sunday and then ...

Trades had already happened, both retrace and simple50, when you miss them, it doesn't mean they didn't happen... it means you missed them, come back tomorrow. At that point, I am not going to jump in on an idea #2 or idea #3. So that leaves idea ...

Same here, mine was even a few pips lower. Oh, well. Sit back and see what happens. Push or change direction.

Retrace on this one. Woke up to 33 pips. It may continue up, but I just wanted to capture the range. image

Price has moved up again, also moving up our swing. So, nice situation to consider here. It is now doubtful for an idea #2 or #3 long because those entries now sit below the swing and if price hits there and stays, we would then be in a down move. ...

[quote=Rearden;12947436] 1. I observed that the aggressive swings mostly works from good location(like higher time frame swing highs/lows) which are locations of high probability. - Correct, they will be as good as you are at correctly identifying ...

Good Start to the week. I closed these at an average of 55 each, so 110 for the start of the week. Idea #2 and Idea #3 in action. image They both went to my ultimate target as I typed this post, so I left 60 pips on the table!!!! So, I have a ...

Gejordan Weekly Journal

Almost. First... NO BIAS this week. I want to go with the move. But this has issues as of right now so it's a week where I have some choices to make. More on that in a minute. Now, for your picture Rearden... I would move the aggressive line down a ...

The reason I look each evening (EST US) when trading this way is so I can already have decisions made while I sleep. I was asked about less screen time trading so I am trying to honor that here. When price came back to simple 50, I could have taken ...

Likely the last of the week. About 40 pips total when I net out the 3 trades. Of course, it was a big one because I got the best entries with bigger size and broke even on the smallest size.. That's now about 240 pips for the week with nice return. ...

Gejordan Weekly Journal

I'm going ahead and closing out this one. 40 pips idea #2 trade. (retrace) I think that's 200pips or so for the week. My idea #3 (simple50) trade was missed by half a pip as you can see, bummer. image Notice we went above and stayed above and we ...

Also, go back to posts 958 and 959... You got lucky there but almost had the same thing happen. Check out where I got entry and where you had your stop. Thankfully that one clipped me and didn't clip you and worked out for both of us... but ...

Get out of here Mikepip. Before you get sucked back in. (sorry, couldn't help it)

Gejordan Weekly Journal

No problem. Just read exactly what I write, try not to edit it with your filter. I know this is difficult. Been there. Yes, if you still wanted to be long, there was no reason to exit unless you read the chart wrong or are sized beyond your comfort. ...

Took some drawdown on the simple50 and the first retrace location, but everything turned out right. There were some clues to the drawdown, so I went small on the early positions and big on the bigger retrace. Nothing disrupted our desire to be long. ...
