Monday, July 29, 2019 / 8:36 a.m. PSTOn a positive note however, the methodology employed by my "Chande Kroll" intraday approach offers not just the potential, but an actual promise of clarifying the most defendable levels where a trader (where I) might want to enter or exit positions, place stop losses, and set take-profit targets.
My first test of the above suspicion will be CADJPY.
Since the numbers suggests that 82.71 is offering at least temporary resistance to this very bullish pair, I'm going to try to grab a quick 5-pips worth of profit by shorting the asset at about 82.68.
This is a very aggressive move because I'm making it without any other type of confirmation, so I have no idea what the result will be. I'll be crossing my fingers and hoping for a positive outcome. (The purpose of this trade is to help validate or invalidate some basic suppositions underlying this strategy.)
UPDATE: Regardless of the outcome, I think the above move was folly. Rather than execute trades based on channels alone, no doubt they still need to be confirmed by one or more appropriate moving averages. There is a very real chance I will be stopped out of this position and suffer a loss.
MOST RECENT UPDATE: I could not justify staying with the trade since it did not continue to fall immediately. I therefore exited the position manually and did not wait for it to hit my stop loss. Based on structure, I cannot justify going long either, so I will simply wait to short the pair again when the move is confirmed by a corresponding moving average.
