I was initially looking to enter buys as we closed above resistance on the 15/30 and 1hr timeframes. I couldn't enter as my stop would have been too big. I decided to wait for a pullback of some sort and minor support to be created on either the 15 or 30min timeframe to take buys.
This didn't happen. Instead, price closed below the previous resistance level...

Enter buys on EURAUD for last trade of the night.
The 30min and 1hr closed bullish above minor resistance, so I took a countertrend trade with reduced risk. I was meant to ent a .02 lot but entered a .01 lot, so making that mistake put me off a little.
The price moved around 6 pips in my direction, but I decided to move stops to breakeven early (usually I do at...
Took Pre New York sells on Ej.
Saw that price pushed down to support I had drawn during London. It failed to break but created another minor 30 support at the longer-term support level.
Ideal entry would have been to impulse enter as price broke the previous candle 30min lows, but I didn't get in. Unfortunately, I FOMO entered as I felt the stops were still in...

This is just a week review of the trades i took and my reasoning the successes and the failures
Trade:
Entry 1.96608
SL 1.96585
TP 1.95800

The reality is swing trading is far more superior and has less room for...
