TITZ:2 GBP AUD


Kind of a coin toss, I saw the 15m bounce off the 200, it was a 23% retracement and in the direction of the shorter trend (Bullish), I couldn't find any divergence and was leaning to Sell until I figured that would be counter-trend.

I saw 25pips looked to be the harmonic number on the 1 Hour.

I went in with .03 lots with the idea of scaling out once I had $5 profit and managed to take $1.80 and then put a trailing stop of 20 on it.

I didn't put a TP but was looking at the previous (yesterday's) peak as a Target. I walked away and missed the top.

When does "If not monitoring, place 1:1" apply?

I put the stop at 45 points, a little less than TITZ:1 which was 50 ish.

The 2nd 2/3rds closed out 1 pip less than the 1st 1/3rd.

GBP AUD


I wanted to jump in on a long so I could ride to the top 600ish away.

I jumped in and ended up 140 up, which was probably the end of wave 5, I held on for more and got retraced to my opening, (shoulda moved my stop or taken the profit?) and then opened another long full of confidence.

As I was going to bed I put 1 of them 1:1 and came out on top.

Over the Thanksgiving weekend, Belgium got downgraded which may have been the cause for the week opening to be so low and got stopped out.

Most previous Monday's have opened closely to the close so I wasn't anticipating a gap.
AB says the phoenix has only worked once in the last 4 times this year when the gap was more than 100.

the 1st one


I picked this one on my own.

I think on the Daily it was just coming back under the 50 EMA and I could see the engulfing candle forming on the 4H.

I went for a 1:1 because I was going to bed and it all worked out :)

Could've gone 1:2 but that wasn't the plan.

15005881 - Daring the Euro





I waited for the 3rd candle on the 1 hour to be bullish and stepped in following Big E's method.

The stop was greater than the TP so the risk/reward ratio isn't to hot but I didn't know how high it would go (who does?) and therefore where to put it.

I figured ti's make the .618 so put it just above, in the end it nearly made the 100, but I had to go to bed and couldn't monitor it.
