You mean the low of the previous day? Because, I can't know the low of the day until the day is over. I'm probably just misreading what you're saying...? I don't get what you mean in your example about going long after the low of the day, sorry.

EURJPY trade last night. Setup is on the 4H, nice proxy pinbar off the EMA. Got 70 pips as TP was set for me sleeping, but I got over 3R, as my stop was well-placed and only 20 pips.

Trade 061 — EURJPY, +3.4R Best trade to date, I set it, and went to sleep. When I woke up, target had been reached, and price still moving up. If I had the choice, I would try to finesse this a bit and trail my stop, but I was just too tired. ...

Trades 056-060 — Monday was a bad day. Placed four trades (too many), with three of them being losers. I broke one of my trading rules and really paid for it. Wiped out Sunday's great earnings. No charts here. Total loss is about -2.8% of ...

Yeah, even more reason for me to not go short.

The pin is in serious traffic, with its high not even really testing resistance, and you're selling into a major uptrend. So, not even a consideration, in the remotest sense, IMO. However, retraces occur and maybe you may win on this one.

Trade 055 — AUDUSD. Price hit trendline, bounced back up, and I waited for a 50% retrace. Well, I got it, and I got a 100% retrace and stopout too :-/ I didn't really wait long enough for price to confirm that it wanted to go back up, and ...

Thinking bigger..... — Hopefully I will look back on today as a turning point in my trading. It's a small sample size, but the last week and 15 trades later, I've got a 70% w/l, 0.5R expectancy, and have increased my account thus far by 7% ...

Trade 054 — USDCHF Correlated to trade 053, similar idea. Pullback to fib and MA. +1R, or 1%.

Josh's Journal (JoshDance)

Trade 053 — GBPCHF Simple retrace off of 38% fib level, got in at a good price, traded multiple lots at 1% equity risk, left with a 2R (2%) gain. Price still going up now, and could have locked in at least 3R gain. However, I'm starting to ...

Lol, sorry about that one dude, guess I forgot to take that debug message out. :-) Would you mind telling me what currency you were looking at at the time, and what is your account deposit currency? That would greatly help me out to discover the bug ...
