What is the Secret of Successful Trading?
The Consistent Pursuit of DS1
The thing that makes me money in trading is when I "Objectively Follow my Trading Plan".
I understand that I can't catch all the moves or all the signals but my objective is to catch THE VALID SIGNALS & ONLY the Valid Signals.
The reason behind this trade was on the 5M time frame there was a smooth movement to the upside with a sideways consolidation, so I looked at the 1H chart and I saw a maroon bar - So I placed a buystop just above the aims box.
This trade hit my TP at 17 pips - I chose 17 pips because I looked at the individual bars on the 1H chart and the average was around 20 pips so I set the TP a little under.

This was the same setup as the GBPUSD trade just as a sell setup instead of a buy.
There was a nice smooth movement down with a sidways consolidation. The 1H chart had a Dark Green ewaves bar - so I placed a sellstop.
I set my TP a little higher then yesterdays low.
As you can see on my 1M chart picture I set a really tight SL because the price hit the monthly pivot and ADR bottom line so I wasn't sure how price would react if it would bounce or cross through nicely.
Price bounced and hit my SL with a 12 pip profit. :-bd
As I am writing this USDCAD broke through and is testing yesterdays low.

I got an eWaves crossing the 0 line to the upside alert so I checked the 1H and it was showing a lime green bar on the eWaves indicator so I waited about 10 mins for a consolidation and got a down bar on the 5M so I placed a buystop.
The trade was triggered and went up about 2 pips and stalled a doji was formed on the 5M chart so I tightened up my SL and about 10 mins later my SL was hit with a -1pip
