I’ve been going through a rough patch, but happened to locate a nice quick Short trade for 4 pips

After that, I added a Fib Retracement that could have been used for a second entry or scale out.

The stop was not thought out, just placed and might have been adjusted to an extent but price started moving down quickly.

At that time I didn’t think about the Fib option, but unless the stop was planned it would have probably been hit on the retrace, to the pip. Slight chance it wouldn’t have.

 

Look at how the price poked through the 61.8 level, where the trend line would be.

This was nice

 

 

 

 

This is an example of a trade entered at market with a Take Profit order in place, but no stop loss.

The nice part of this result.. is that the trade worked and was closed by end of business on Friday.

Would you have gone short as price was moving up? Any other comments or observations?

 

 

I had a triangle formation drawn on a 4 hour chart.

This morning I noticed some momentum while price played back lower into the triangle.

I sold at market with a tight 10 pip take profit. I made sure to keep this ABOVE potential support, to be safe.

Actually the price moved more than 30 pips past my take profit (through the potential resistance.) This WILL happen and profit can be left on the table, which is fine.

At this time the Dollar Index was moving higher towards a potential resistance area
