UPDATE #1:TRADE: EURUSD:Sell@1.16209 SHORT Trade TP1 HIt (+238)

And the pips just continue to pour in from this pair! It took awhile but the TP1 on this SHORT trade on the crab completion (see Related Ideas: "TRADE: EURUSD: Sell@1.16209 Completed Crab SHORT Trade") bagged me another +253 pips on this pair in addition to the +984 pips made on the recent uptrend. Bringing in over +1200 pips in 4 days!

Prices are still moving down in a wave 4. Where it will stop? Not really sure yet. But it must stop short of where I have my wave 1 ending. By my wave count, since we are in a wave 4, prices CANNOT get into the price territory of wave 1. I have wave 1 ending at 1.12140.

MY TRADE PLAN
Ok, so now what after the TP1 was hit? In that previous post, I mentioned that the TP1 was sitting on the upper trend line of the former triangle pattern that was busted and that there may be some kind of reaction at that point, Well, watching the price action when it hit TP1, I did not see any signs of a bullish reaction so I closed 30% of my positions and let the other 70% ride down. However, I am shortening the TP2 from the usual .618 retrace to the 50% retrace instead. Why? Since we are in a wave 4, prices CANNOT get into the price territory of wave 1. I have wave 1 ending at 1.12140. My TP2 is at 1.12800 (the 50% retrace). So I'm playing it safe and not being TOO greedy on this trade. The real prize is of course the next wave up...the wave 5. So I'll be looking for a good opportunity to get LONG as soon as I can. So that's another reason to cut the TP2 target short.
