We entered the trade once the 4hr 20ma was breached and held on a test of support. I set my target aiming for the 0.618 extention, which is above the trendline. Once the trendline is breached, I...

This is a very descriptive example on how a trader can find high probability trades that are very unlikely to reverse. The markets are full of fractals so this strategy should be good for any timeframe but I highly suggest you use these timeframes as follows. If you place trades using the 4hr, use the daily for trend (example on the chart). If you place trades...
This is a very common technique used to plan an entry by placing a buy stop above the last candle high. The ATR at the point of entry was about 14pips and I typically use a 1.5 to 2 times ATR. The trade is still opened at this point and time and i'm waiting to move my stop loss higher to protect my profit. I do not know the extend on this rally but I know...
