Today I had silly and unlucky trades, 1 winner and 4 rents, -1,57%. My rule is, that I take the next setup on M1, after M5 gator opened ( indicated by an arrow ), M15 supporting direction. And I use not the whole gator, but only green and blue line.
This is a little stricter on M5 than DA and allowing a little more on M15 than DA.
For example, if M5 gator opens up, M15 could be still down but narrowing.

But my own arrows make me becoming careless :-s

This -9.4 trade on EU was absolutely foolish, because it was no setup at all on M1 ( AO very old ):

The next one was ok with +5.8 ( exit at TZ2 ), though I took setup 2 of the red dot before:

Two Aussi trades with - 4.6 ( just a rent, nothing wrong ) and -3.0 ( fear, exit too early, was not sure about old M5 AO )

Last one on EU -5.4 : Don't know, M5 had already had two w5s, M15 as well, not a good idea to take a trade.

+ 10 on EU. Unfortunately I was too slow to change standard TP of 10, but nice 0,92%.

Afternoon Bettina,

Well done ( (wd) ), you were braver than me on that one, the US red news scared me off......

Hi Grant,

I must admit, that I didn't care for the news. Except NFP and European sentiment most of the news didn't have much reaction in the market lately.
Perhaps it was good that I didn't change the standard TP, if it had quickly changed into opposite direction, so it was just luck.

Hi all,

had 2 trades so far today : +6.8 on EU and +9.4 on GU, +1,5%.

The EU was exactly below 38,2 % retracement and exit above 50%, didn't want to let it go further up. PC would have taken me out anyway, but on M5 this would have been a perfect entry for the next run down.Well, happy with my pieces !

GU was similar, S2 entry so little late, exit above 61.8 % retracement.

Lovely trade you got there. Nice one.

I paid rent before catching it albeit on a lower aims level. So you got more pips there! cheers

[Bettina]

Experience more than pips !
On EU -8.6 and + 3.6
