closed my trade manually for +20.

short eurusd @ 1.1213 aiming for 18 pips. EDIT: moved stop to be and moving target to 1.1289.

I found out a bit through more backtesting where things went wrong this week. I need to have more patience and base my trades of both the 15M and 30M charts. Also trying to do too many things at once only is nefast for my performance. So for the next few weeks I am going to concentrade on...

out -5 pips. I got some things to think about this weekend ...

long 1.2759 in gbpusd: pullback till ema20 on the 5M with engulfer with the general trend.

out -6 pips. I know where I went wrong: the double top was not setup right. More things to learn it seems. Went long now in eurusd @1.1329 when we broke out of 15M level high. EDIT: got out manually for +10 since it formed a doji on the 5M bar. Don't want to push my luck here.

Short eurusd with 15M overbought in sto and 5M formed a double top at 1.1318. Targeting ema200 on the 5M.

Did one more trade nicely with the uptrend in eurusd when sto was oversold and we did an engulfer for +12 pips, got out just before NFP since I did not want to take that risk. Too bad since the uptrend continued after that in full force.

I am now long at 1.12665, with the major trend after upbar after two doji's. Aiming for 18 pips. My reasoning for this trade is doji at ema200, followed by another doji, followed by impulse bar with the trend while sto was crossing the 50 line with a hook. EDIT: sold for be after we broke inside...

short eurusd 1.12625 because of engulfer of ema50 with fluid sto making a hook in overbought with hidden divergence. Aiming for 18 pips. EDIT: out -5 pips. Still making the same old mistake of taking countertrendtrades.

yup, yesterday was a classic example of impulsive overtrading. I made some adjustments to my trading plan: basically only taking trades with the trend and only on exceptioon a countertrend trade (with sto diverging) I hope things will go smoother from now on.

out -4. This doesn't work so late in the evening it seems. Should stick to daytrading hours for that kind of stuf.

Still making some adjustments as things progress. Going to focus more on the 6M tf. Just bought eurusd @1.1286 because of hidden divergence in sto. Looking for 18 pips.

Yes, from what I know from options as a directional play you end phrase defines this correctly. Spreads should be used with care since it can be hard to take profits too early since one leg might still have a considerable premium.

long now gbpusd with the trend: 1.2727 targeting 36 pips.

Short gbpusd @ 1.2707, targeting 36 pips. EDIT: out be, shouldn't be trading against the trend ....
