    Tightened all trailing stops before goin out for supper. . All 3 trades were nearing support/resistance and suppose I got a little humorous leaving all those pips on the market to get taken away.

    Hehe moral of my story is I return and 3 trades are closed. .

    500 pips in 3 trades though im pretty pleased. .

    I feel like the hardest role in this for me personally is my exit egy.
    Establish a TP and it might miss it by two pips and undo all the way back. Additionally a TP can see you close a trade with plenty of juice left at the move.

    Are you trading James16-style, or can you employ additional procedures?

    Thanks for stopping by, hey babatot.

    I figure I am young in contrast to alot here. Alot of people in australia depend soley on superanuation along with the pension to retire(my parents included).
    Theres not a chance in hell ill be doing that. If im still involved forex when its time to retire sick be one wealthy person.

    As for j-16 I've read a bit of it, however im just focusing on a few price action setups for the time being.

    Im hoping to really get to grips with these setups before I even think about trying anything else.

    sell stop was triggered at 3250. . SL above upper shadow. TP at 1.3050

    double pin, inside bar combo at resistance with trend. .

    stopped out for -100 pips. .

    Maybe I should take more caution when a trend line is broken

    edit- I must have waited until the candle had shut before putting my sell stop. . Since it turns out of these pin bars turned out to be somewhat excellent. One had a lesser shadow and the other had an upper shadow which was less than double the dimensions of the real body.

    Will revolve around utilizing better described pin bars as entries.

    Great to see that your Journal and Trading....BUT IMHO.the RED BAR,you viewed as a PIN, I thought the LOWER WICK was a Tad LONG....and it was a Holiday interval here in the united kingdom and Japan....
    But its own part and parcel of trading...
    But all the best for your future trading....it looks good

    Thanks for the kind words baz. .

    Believe it or not I edited my post right before you posted! So I said exactly the same as you.

    I enjoy how just posting these trades makes me think about them and how they could be improved.
