Have a look on AUDUSD 15M between 0500 and 0930 - probably better seen with 10M - and label this in the library too for a 'megaphone' chart pattern. :)

Yep lap thats the one , I know them as broadening formations (murphey etc) (again its not the pattern I'm interested in as such its the price action in and around them), I'm using MT4 for currencies , so no 10M , besides 15M is the smallest I trade use it to 'time' entries on H1 setups.
 
I never do fundamentals my friend. Only trade what I see on a chart :)
Sometimes positive news causes prices to drop and there is incredibly bad data and prices still go up. How do I know when the markets respond to news or not? So I just ignore it completely.
Saves me a lot of work as well :D
Having said that I do note when news comes out so I can watch how market reacts.
Stop now moved to 4878.

By the way what job do you do? Trading?

I went long when i had to go out at 4893 sl at 4873 - came back saw the ftse over 4000 and thought ok in the money! Then saw i was stopped out to the pnt!

Looking for an entry now - 1H says down 4H says up!

Actually just looking back, my stop was 4872!

just for you information kaisen if you were going to go long I think you should have take this into account for future trades and you may well avoid being stopped out

I also went short @ 4779 .. saw my position go to profit and amended to break even because of 200 MA @ 4869 and pivot S1 @ 4872

if you had put you stop below them you would certainly be in profit

diagnol trend line previous resistance = support

bias is to the upside

Good point ws - placed the deal in a rush as i had an appointment to keep - but yes i will keep that in mind.

Thanks as ever!

You stil feel bias is up?

4H chart suggests up
 
Hello all,
Totally frustrated. did 20 trades for £100 profit = £5 profit per trade.
this is not the way to trade guys.I always close early for the fear of losing. We should be able to get more than £5 average.

Just my thoughts

Happy Trading for the rest of the day.
 
you cant be sure about anything in trading !!

Im out at 4878 as it doesnt want to go up. Stand aside to see how it develops tomorrow. It will probably scream up now ? :LOL:

papak, I was thinking the same. Luckily I got out with 1 point profit when the housing numbers came with a strong intraday pull.

I was thinking to see how the after hours market performs based on asian markets' performance. If they 0.25% above today's open, then I am thinking to go long. Otherwise I will wait till lunch time to see the trend (higher highs, lower lows on candle bodies - ignoring wigs).

Keen to see what factors / variables you will be considering for tomorrow's direction?
