First trade this week, I didn't see any setups yesterday morning and with all the holidays I decided to t trade the afternoon session.

Nothing this morning, but saw this setup - was it a valid setup? I'm not so sure now anyway result was -7 pips.

Entry was break of multiple aims levels at 12519, stop moved to 3pips above trigger candle high and 1 pip above reverse dot signal

Supppose you have to pay rent in advance :D

That would definitely have been a rent for me for sure. The fact that Grant confirmed it was a rent for him means it WAS a correct setup.

cheers

Afternoon everyone, I couldn't find a setup to take advantage of the morning moves - or at least I wasn't brave enough to trade them, however caught the following set up this afternoon on EURUSD.

M5 alligator was open heading down, Po was below M15, M5 and M1 levels, price broke and I exited for 9 pips when price began to stall at the 60min low

Interesting to note that I was feeling very calm and relaxed when I placed the PO and took this trade, a little more nervous once in the trade but generally calm

I think this was a good trade, in cash too so all the better.

Cheers

I specifically logged into the forum for this setup. Was curious who got it and who missed. This was a no brainer setup. Everything was pointing down! well done.. Rinse and Repeat Rinse and Repeat

(Herbert you beat me to the post... here I come again)

Hi Mike,

nice catch, you took the setup before mine. I missed this one, because I thought the correction was so small, but it's not everytime John's abc ( 3-5 ) pattern.
