Trade 1 this morning - not an aims trade but I have plotted the trade on m1 anyway. I took this as an hourly price action trade for 0.94%

Trade 2 - euro messing around near its overnight low, after the big move this morning I expected it to at least test this level. I took the euro short again for 0.22%. Held my nerve on the drift, I waited for a new lower aims high to form this is why I stayed in. Price failed to break and close below the aims low, 11:08 pin bar. I closed here manually. Of course price went on to do my initial tp but it is what it is.

1.16% growth this morning. Enjoy your weekends

Well Done Tom!

I took the 2nd trade short too, and got 7 pips on the dot.

cheers

Nice one Immy, it's good to know I'm getting my entries right these days! Can I ask what made you get out at 7 pips? Cheers

Perhaps a bit of a less probable trade this one with the hourly chart in a downtrend, I was looking for the retrace on the hourly back up to a level and was only scalping for 10 pips here. I could have taken a few pips on ao momentum turning green with a manual exit. I was waiting for a higher low to be formed and a continuation long. Manual exit on price crossing and closing below red line.

-0.08%. Happy with my trade management.

-1% here. I liked the test of the 60 low, went for a setup 2 short. Didn't manual close on black dot as it was another test of the 60 low and my stop was above it. Unfortunatley my sl was hit. I have felt a bit rushed this morning as my trading session today is shorter than normal. Maybe this has rubbed off on my discipline and I haven't waited for the best setups.

Hi Tom

Hope alls well, I passed on the first setup as it was against H1 but it was a valid setup so well managed and not a big rent. The second setup for me the AO was too old so I waited for a cross back above the zero line and took a an entry at 8.57 uk time, it only made 3 pips but was a cleaner setup IMHO.

Happy new year btw

Mike

Hi mike all is well thanks hope you and your family had a good xmas and new year, and are all ok!

I've returned to look at my trade and your right ao is old, and the short move was during a news period so in hindsight I should have perhaps waited until the markets had found their flow again. Well done on the 3 pips they all add up!

Luckily on my chart, due to broker difference a fractal was never formed so no aims box, price was still inside, but apart from that, AO had not crossed the ZL yet, so no fresh cross and gator lines were not totally inside aims box. But even that does not matter. The reason I'm posting a reply is because I think you kept the trrade far longer than it should have been. Never forget, we make money not by predicting the market correctly, but by staying in it longer, when its going in our favour (pipwise) and getting out quickly when its going against us (pipwise)
