i quite like the look of it (although i wont be taking it as i cant be here to watch the trade)
there are some round numbers to be aware of and an area just below and at the low of the pin. i have marked what i am looking at on the charts.
jon
EDIT: there i a nice looking pin on thr gb/us 1h chart also but that is a sharp drop so i would play it very tight indeed!

If you need to watch certain levels in between, then set alerts.
That ability to wait for the correct opportunities is a good one to have.

no truer words av been spoken!!! wish i could transfer this ability to my real account!!!

on the u/j entered a bit late because of the margin
when I will exit I will prepare for a fine tune entry to go long,like to be on all waves

very nice there bro!  . i agree that could well go lower, 130 eu/yen is certainly possible short term and maybe even a retest of 127 !?!?

agreed that this is one to play on a tight lease, i feel 164.00 is possible though. i have allready closed most of the possition for a small profit. now its free so ill let it run a while??

Anyway this account it's only for test,so I'm afford to lose them, to see how it's in the real world.
Regarding to my mm as I pointed out I will have another approach when my account will be much larger.

hi mate dont take it to heart, we are only trying to help. as im sure you know.
i have made over 20% sinse yesterday on my demo but believe me it has no bearing on my real account. just be carfull to only make entries you would be prepared to make with real cash.(or at least be aware of)you need to make trades you can be confident with when real cash is on the line.

i am not getting at you my friend but i thought i would take this oppertunity to outline this for everyone who is just starting out on this.
cheers

After you make some gains the next step is to preserve your capital and this is what I'm going to achieve myself. I'm going to bring my "trader career" to the next level.
It is nice to see that you guys are heaving some pips, wish you more to come in your accounts.
trade wisely
wish you the best!!

Too often you WILL get a better signal higher up just after this first one is stopped out and lost you money. Just wait for those better ones instead.
If you miss out on the continuation down, don't worry about it, there are plenty of good trades coming to you in the future that are better.

Enjoy the time off guys and gals.

i have no idea why it took off like it did just now though!!?? anyone???...

hi mate, dont be hard on yourself , i think it was a good trade. once price made it through that .9000 level it had nothing much to stop it and everything going for it!. i was stopped out on my first attempt at 9023 (15 pips stop),before the beob formed, and re-entered at 8993 with a 15 pip stop (after the break of the beob)so iv more than made up for the first loss with + 117 as i write with half of the possition.
nice catch on the gb trade aswell!

some great thinking there bro!  definatlely gonna help if you do it. i would read SPs reply a few times also!

This works. I've done this and it flat out helps. Van Tharp has a lot of good ideas about what could be journaled. Perhaps the toughest part of it is learning how to actually listen to yourself. With all things a little practice goes a long way.
You might notice patterns that emerge - I did with me. There are times where I do not trade as a result of what I have learned about me.
Exits and tinkering. Don't fall into the perfectionist trap. Just make a good journal, and what works best for YOU will become apparent. And it may not be what you think...

..great post SP !! 
jon
have a great new year everyone!!!!!

My first live trade. S/L at break even after 25 pips, half profit removed after 55 pips, final target: 1.0076

nice trade bro 
i love these types of trades also, but usually look for some pa on a smaller tf to get in. well done
