Good thinking, i just read some of the post again and tend to get out too early. Once i am in a trade i work my way up the timeframes as the BB gets hit, but i tend to fall for the psychological trap of looking down the time frames again and close out when the 5 min or 15 min looks like reversing, thus missing out the final parts of the trade on a 30min and 1hour.

Now that i have realised this i will (hopefully) stop doing it. I sometimes find the 5mins chart difficult to interpret with a lot of noise, so try and enter on the 15 min only.

Had a good day today with a down and wave with GBP:JPY, and EUR:JPY.
