I’m doing the same!!

This always helps for so many reasons.
There are quite a few amateurs who can’t work out how a £10K account has so much free margin - its because smaller is better, smaller keeps you in the trade, smaller means you can live to fight another day.
this is something I have learned the hard way but have found it to be 100% true.

Encouragement from other beginners is fine, we’re all here to learn. But some of the stick you’ve been getting @The_Baller seems a little on the strong side to me… That said you don’t seem the type to let it get to you anyway which is good. I just put it down to their pizza being a bit on the small side, if you know what I mean 
Thanks though - us newbies find your thread inspiring; fingers crossed next week for more green numbers on my account like your screen grabs!

Bunch of bearish pin bars in the recent range resistance zone got me thinking this is due to head downwards. Nice and simple, let’s see…

Whilst there is no price action confluence here, I’ve hedged with an entry order at 121.020 based on the lower bound trend line meeting very roughly the psychological 120.900 level. I could have this wrong TBH as JPY is still strong and EURO has high impact news due which I tend to avoid. Hence the entry order confirmation.

Seemed like a cool entry number. Just kidding.
I believe this is known as a rising wedge; in any case the lower trend line resistance and the confluence at the 1.00000 level makes me feel like even if I’m wrong, I’ll let myself off this one…
No candle signal for the reversal though so the entry order is there in case I’m full of $hit.
Cheers.
Entry triggered but I suffered for that missing PA candle. Note to self, SR is not enough on it’s own…

I’ve gone with a bearish pin candle trend bound.

Some resistance and pin candles make me think this had legs to go down, it has and now I’m hoping the little retrace visible on the chart packs it in and carries on trending down…
