Re: Mike's Journal MSK185
Hey Mike. That was a good looking aims level breakout for w5. I would have done the same.msk185 wrote:first trade in cash for a while and unfortuately its rent. -8pips
EURUSD seeking wave 5 - was this a good setup? It looked good to me but now I just dont know
Missed all the moves earlier as I didnt see any setups, so very frustrating
I guess its just next
2 observations from my chart.
1. I do not have a red dot on my chart.
a: Broker differences.
b: Close of candle still above balance line and purple, my chart AND yours!!!
2. Dot and aims level break = 8 candles apart/new aims box. Criteria for you?
Splitting hairs, but we are on m1, or is that splitting dots?

Regards
Herbert

Re: Mike's Journal MSK185
Thanks for your replies,
Grant - sorry for your rent too but good to know I'm reading the setup similarly to yourself - that helps my sanity.
Herbert - broker differences as I had 3 red dots (no black dot for me) so setup looked valid, with fresh cross of AO and aims levels below the purple, also i have price closed below purple prior to being triggerred in.
looks to be an unlucky one
Cheers
Mike

Re: Mike's Journal MSK185
Hi Mike,
for a long time I would have taken that also, but now, since I'm more looking to M5, I didn't.
I had a red dot, too, but at that time, M5 alli contracted and eWaves was ascending, ( see green cycles ), so I didn't think, that w4 was already done.

Re: Mike's Journal MSK185
Good Afternoon everyone
Took this short trade on AUDUSD, 5 min aligator had just turned and there was a fresh cross of AO too. Fresh cross of AO on M1 and also a break of M1 and M5 aims levels.
Entry 9784, concious of M15 level 10 pips below as price stalled in this area I chose to exit for 12 pips, pssibly a little early but I think this was a good entry.
Comments and views always welcome.
Think I'll call that it for trading today always nice to finish the week on a high.
Cheers and wishing you all a lovely weekend

Re: Mike's Journal MSK185
Hmm. I said I would call it a day but I couldn't resist this setup on Cable for another 12 pips.
Entry was fres cross of AO for the M1 and very close to ZL on M5.
Exit at 15min low may have been premature but I was happy with that as a target.
Happy weekend everyone
