Another mixed signal day so i tried to get as many pips that i felt comfortable with. I ended the day +17, although the EURUSD would have hit my profit target at 1.5969. No big deal… it’s all about positive pips.
Today +17

Signal came in right at 5min support, so I was initially underwater. But after it broke 5min support, I was up around 10 pips. I didnt realize that news was coming out (Philly Fed Index) and as soon as the news hit, EURUSD went up and stopped me out.

Another mixed signal day so I was a looking to get 15 pips or so. But EURUSD was following the 5min resistance line. Kept following the position closely since I was probably going to close it out if had a clear break of that resistance line, but it kept hugging it and eventually hit the 30 pip target.

It was looking good at open being up about 10 pips, then ECB came out with news that they might raise rates next meeting, so EURUSD ripped up.

1.6 finally, been waiting on this from a few weeks back.
300 pips captured on a Long position I had open for some time now. I’ve close the position because i think a major reversal is eminent.
It was looking good at open until it broke the resistance for a bit. So I took whatever profits I had in case eurusd reversed up. From the looks of it, I should of held it. Looks like I’d be real close in hitting my profit target. Oh well, it won’t work perfectly everyday. At least I made a small profit.
I might look into scaling out 10-15 pips initially (depending on how solid my initial entry looks) and then using the other indicators to determine when I exit out of my other half. Might work better that way.

I think you were a bit late on that trade, Short signal was given @ 1.5955. I didnt trade it because i miss it by a couple pips. Price is now resting on top of an old down trendline i drew some time ago, I might go Long if it bounce and the signals giving a heads up.
well, i wasnt late on my entry and that’s what i go by. just that it briefly broke resistance and I got out. no big deal. i’m following my rules so I can’t complain.
My entry comes from a 30 min chart but look at 5min and 15min TL’s, Stochs, etc. I saw a break on the 5min resistance around 10:05 am EST so I got out.
I see. Personally I think 5min charts is too small of a time frame to determine real trends, S and R levels. IMO.
I guess it fits your style of trading why your using it.
For sure, it is a small time frame. But that’s how i’ve been trading it.
My profit is only 30 pips and my stop is 25, so I’m not trying to ride a huge trend. Just intraday ups and downs and trying to minimize my loss and maximize my gains.
It’s been working well for me, so i’m just trying to tweak it as I go along.
Pre US market open EURUSD was looking like a solid short, but shortly thereafter it started to reverse. Decided to cut my losses right before housing news came out since I didn’t believe it could be any good.
Few days of trading left for April. Hoping for a solid finish above 150 pips for the month.

I think you should re-think your strategy on this pair, that last entry you post has produce over 100pips and counting. Just like that short entry yesterday it move about 70pips after you exited.
