Number 1 above resulted in a 60 pip net. So, you can check that off the list of things for the EURUSD to do.
I'll just tic them off one-by-one when they materialize.

First half of the non-direction paragraph above has also concluded for net 30 pips.
Check that off the list of things-to-do for the EURUSD as well.
Tracking nicely as expected.

4258 Entry Order Long triggered and running successfully for a current: 71 pips and Holding.
The dust-off from 4258 is still "clearing" - so I'll post the actual "manual" Exit later.
Profile tracking nicely thus far and the EURUSD's behavior is as expected this week.

Both 4258 and 4232 Long still on Hold. Second half of 60 non-directional (30 Long from open of the week) also still on Hold. All trades in the black thus far with second half of non-directional (30 Long) still in the red.
A fairly typical weekly profile with no surprises thus far.

This should net/net out at 200% of this week's ATR when all is said and done. Though, I think net pips of 185% ATR is still acceptable.
2) Now back to BE.
So I'll just wait patiently for either a change in the profile that warrants an early exit in the black, some Friday afternoon retardation from a truncated session that warrants an early exit in the black or a good solid black number to exit on absent a strike on the profile's target for this particular trade.
Either way, I'm already in the driver's seat and way ahead of the per trade profit curve thus far.

Next session begins (Friday's)
2) As Friday's session begins, there will either be a quick blow-off into the target area, or a blow-off well above the target area before a return back to the target area of 4335 from 4375.
I would like hit the golf course early this week (by Fri morn) so it would be nice if this happened quickly.
This is why I really dislike manual direction based trades. Too much baby-sitting for me. Give me a good non-directional geometry that I don't have to pay much attention to anytime.
Yes, I can generate substantially more capital with manual, single sided trades - as you can now clearly see. However, the cost in terms of time spent baby-sitting, is no longer something I care to do.
These single sided trades make me feel like I'm sitting at a BlackJack table. Come on sweeeeet 4335! Hit me, hit me, hit me... LOL!
Can't stand this form of trading - torture. This stuff is like water-boarding as far as I am concerned and that is unconstitutional. Directional trading should be made unlawful - a violation of the Constitution of the United States of America.
I think hate is too strong a word - but I'm pretty close.
