BO above res.

Entry at market: 1.71795

SL: 1.71614

TP: 1.71984

Ugly looking breakout, but still managed to eek out a 19 pip scalp.

Flat until probably Asia tomorrow. Bye for now.

5 Min basing and coiling structure. Wait for strength and clear BO above this area of resistance.

Probably could have waited for a retest, but confident this will continue.

Entry: 1.72003

SL: 1.71813

TP:A 20 pip scalp would be reasonable here, considering where it is at on the 4-hour time frame

And this is what we wound up with. Absolutely no follow-through and a 20 pip SL

I would trade this as a false breakout and continuation short, but the ATR is at 5 and it’s late in NY.

See you for Asia session

Inverted Cup and handle pattern, coiling for BO of minor support:

Took short position on BO of minor support

Nice! :smiley: I’ll definitely watch this thread. Good thing I found it early on! :smiley: Haha. Good luck Steve! :slight_smile:

Thanks. Unfortunately, now price is stuck in another tight trading range. I would like it to break out soon so i can get some sleep.:sleeping:

Aw! :open_mouth: I feel you! Same goes with my NZDCAD chart right now. :sweat: But I hope price starts moving so you get to rest soon! :slight_smile:

Took 10 pip loss. Should have been out 20 bars ago.

Took the BO of whatever that was. Looking for 1:2. Will watch it close in case it stalls again.

Entry Long: 1.71814

SL: 1.71655

TP: 1.72078

Horrific price action. But that’s what I get for trying to trade within a pullback on a higher time frame.

After the third stop out in a row, I’ve decided to set up short on the 4 HR. More options to scale this way:

Scaling in and scalping the 5 minute chart on the way back down. It almost took out my stop again on the 4 HR. I certainly hope the pullback phase of this week is over with.

About break even for the scale-in trades. Trying it one more time at the top of the range

Reached just high enough to take out my stop and return to the tight trading range. Can’t lie. That one hurt, even though my position size was small. Got some work to do. Looks like more scratching and clawing this week too.

It looks good for continuation long, but the breakouts have been failing. Still in pull-back mode on higher TF.

Scalp to the trend line
