these attacks are nothing personal and i think you know that! but i think you need to hold your hands up and admit your not quite the trader you like to think you are and make out you are..

£10pp is big in my book and for many many on here. I for one enjoy reading TD's posts and they have helped me and others immensely
A great way to improve trading performance is to invest in your own education, follow a strategy that 'suits' you and your risk profile & also be very careful whose advise you follow, there are always plenty out there offering advice, but even fewer who get the results that you want. Don't rely on anyone else for your wealth creation, because no-one will ever care as much about your trading success as you will.

USD/JPY
Here is a trade I made today. This is a 1 hr. chart and had been in a sideways channel for a while. It broke upwards today and broke hard. I figured I'd wait for a retrace and go long. When it looked to be running out of steam I saw this setup and decided to go short with the target being the top of the channel it just broke (about 200 pips). Here is why I took this trade.
1. Pin Bar (though not perfect, the shadow on the bar to the left is tall)
2. Nose of pin bar touched a S/R pivot drawn from the daily chart
3. Price had also just crossed over a longer term trendline
I followed the rules and shorted 1 tick below pin with stop 1 pip above top of pin bar. I got stopped out and as of now the trade is well on it's way in the direction I expected. My question is this: Is this a "good loss"...one that just happens with a good setup. Or is this not a good setup? If so what did I miss? All I can see is that it is against the trend which TD does and that the pin bar isn't ideal.
Thanks
