It hasn't been the best of weeks for me and I'm certainly fighting through a drawdown, but that's trading for you. The way I see it is you can either continue to follow your plan and fight through it, or given in and miss the opportunities that can potentially dig you out.
This isn't the best opportunity at the moment, but it could be depending on how price reacts on my lower timeframe (1HR). What I'm looking at is a 1:1 measured move coming down into a previous structure level (look left) and a 1.618 fib extension. Keep in mind as a counter-trend trader I'm not looking for a big reversal, just a little relief that will allow me to make some profit.
Now there's not much protection here on the daily, simply a zone. So what I will do is watch this closely on the hourly and look for a conservative reason to enter. A double bottom where the rsi is oversold and divergence is present would be a perfect example. This allows me to have my protective stops in a place that is safe, but doesn't mean me taking on a lot of risk. (Similar to what we did with the gbpusd this morning Syndicate Members).
Not sure if or where the double bottom will complete but stops underneath the 85 even handle looks like a good spot. But again it all depends on what price action does.
For you guys that follow me on youtube, I apologize about not posting my normal Thursday video. I'll probably have it up tonight or over the weekend. We'll see, it's been a busy week. Have a great weekend traders.
