On this trade I decided to use some of the information from the article to change adjust my strategy… I set my stops double what I usually choose. news article could go in my favor catch some pips. But I really think if this does happen it will be for a short period and go back to the trend. The USD/CAD trade I took a long position for the first time this week. I need to re read my research and I’ll post a link…might take me a min ha !
Hope everyones trading has been fun this week!! 
Hi, how do you pull the trigger when looking for buy/sell position? Thanks
LOL…well I am glad that I got that out of my system. Both trades hit their stops and too top it off I doubled my stop loss!! And still took the trade knowing it would be a 50/50. In one way it feels good because up until this point I was sticking to my trading plan and not allowing just one thing to control my decision on how I am trading.
With this I was able to baseline my emotions because I trust what I am learning which keeps me from acting impulsively. Even writing this now feels a little impulsive and I feel like I am venting, well I am not trying to vent when I am trading! And these last couple trades feel like impulsiveness all the way around from the size of the trade to the trade in general.
I was also realized I was riding a wave that could or could not form again. The wave being that the news articles was going to have such a dramatic effect that I could trade without taking into account my other analysis.
I will be posting soon about how I am making my choices in my trade setups. Thanks for reading the vent.

Hey Jahruhay! S/R lines, candlestick, 200 MA, 50MA, STochastic and ATR. Set my S/R, use the 4 hr chart to look at MA and then determine if I am going to short or buy, If the indicators are going against the trend Ill wait until I get the right signal that the trade will conform with my strategy. I trade off the 1hr chart after checking trend. Im still learning how to explain it better (technically). Also I am currently working in demo account. My real account has little over $150! So I trade the demo like I would trade normally. Another thing I’d like to point out is that I generally take profit around 10-15pips and my trade is done. MY stop loss is usually around 15-20pips (depending on the chart) but is far as I know this is what I have been doing without adjusting mid trade.
Recently I tried using a few news articles that I thought was going to make a difference. So I got on my high horse and traded against the plan because I knew that this would be a big deal. It was! Just not in my favor.
does that help any? ha thanks for reaching out ! this community is strong
