Re: Reading Charts in Real Time

Exited the EU short for breakeven here.

Starting to look like chop and time of day also not in my favour.

That was my last trade for the day.

Re: Reading Charts in Real Time

Hi Traderunner,

Two questions:

1) Are the solid arrows are located where you traded?

2) Are you still doing the 15 tick stop loss, 30 tick profit target exercise?

Best Wishes,

Thales

Re: Reading Charts in Real Time

Sorry for the late post, but we took this short on the GBPUSD.

We also took a short on the EURJPY and it dropped so quickly I didn't have chance to get a screen capture.

Best Wishes,

Thales

Re: Reading Charts in Real Time

Just took it at 92.30, so it might as well tank now.

We got stopped out with 9.9 pips on this EURJPY short. We'll probably find we left ticks on the table, but when something drops like that and bounces like that, I have no problem taking what I can before it takes me for what it can.

I was just about to ask if that was a valid set up. Cheers, thanks for that.

Do you want us to post our platform credentials, littlefish? I'll do that - as I said, 9.9 on the EJ short ... GBPUSD is still open ... total PnL shows 10.4 because we had a .5 tick profit on an earlier GBPUSD short where we jumped the gun a bit.
