Good morning, nice trading and discussion going on today...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

What to post — What do you think about posting trades after the fact? Does it add value? It can sometimes get hectic trying to post and trade at the same time. Also, does posting real time trades add value? I'd personally like to have more ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Looks like the 2 trades that I didn't take were the winners today. The AU short just at the NY open and the GU shampoo at the same time. Going into the close both of those trades are at about +70 pips. Sometimes I focus too much attention on ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Watching the EU to see if the 1H closes as a hammer right at the Weekly Pivot. If so, there may then be an opportunity to buy down the wick of the 1H candle using 15M PA to confirm. image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

I shaved 1/2 of my GU long at B/E +2 as we are not yet seeing a strong turn. I'm waiting to see what happens come the London close in 5 min to decide what to do next. Update: Closed the remaining 1/2 at B/E -2. EU and AU are still falling so I'll ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

The important thing is that you stick to your plan. If your plan says to move your stop to B/E once a certain level is hit then do it. If you find that your plan needs to be adjusted because you are constantly being stopped out at B/E then make ...

Took a long here on the GU at the 1H 62 EMA and the round number. image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Yeah, too late on that short but an entry after that hangman would have yielded a nice 10 with the remainder at B/E. Also watching the S&P500 and it looking to close below its recent lows on the 15M.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

GU is currently holding at the 15M 50 EMA. If it dead end closes here it could be an opportunity to get back in long...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

May have missed a nice short on the AU. 15M failed to close above the 50 on a sort of a pinbar and then a small hangman. Time will tell... image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Closed out my remaining 1/4 here for +21 on the entire trade. Going to wait to see how the NY open looks. Shampoo still potentially in play... image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Nice job getting to B/E. When I saw that hammer with the long wick that failed to go below the previous lows, I started looking for longs. I usually don't trade the GU but it looked much clearer to me than the EU/AU in this case.

GU Shampoo? — Keeping an eye on a possible shampoo on the GU 15M... image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Took another 1/4 off here. May add back on if we get a retracement back to the 10/50 EMAs and some good PA. My target for the remaining 1/4 is up at 5596. image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Nice, we took 1/2 off at the same point. It's back above the 15M 10/50 EMAs so if we can get through the 35 SMA I'd be looking for a retest of the 80 level.

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

131, As usual, this is easy to state in hindsight but I'd like to comment on this trade... It's a testament to your trading that you got positive pips. What I wanted to point out is that the EU had been in a range pretty much since the ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Morning... Took a long on the GU at 5530. Bought in the wick of the 15M hammer that failed to go below the previous low. image Closed 1/2 here at 40 at the 15M 15/50 MAs and moved stop for the remaining 1/2 to B/E. If we don't get a close above ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Passerby, Good to have you, welcome to the thread. I've only been posting here for about 2-3 weeks. I've found there to be some good discussion and useful input on trades. I'm also in the process of going back through the thread from the beginning ...

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Had just moved stops to B/E and got taken out on this candle. Probably should have taken some off earlier and then kept my overall stop at B/E. image

Trade what you see NOT what you expect

Got a nice pin on the 1H. Shorted up the wick of the pin at 95 with stop above the pin. Also, the 5M is showing a doji. image
