Uk pound sign makes the forum chuck up a sql error. I wonder if that's intentional to stop mention of money amounts being posted? I don't mind in this instance - a 500 acct is just like trading demo as far as I'm concerned.

Looks OK to me :)
By the looks of how thngs later turned out I should have carries on trading today, would have made a fair few more pips, I'm happy with what I've done though.

Soon a case for looking for longs, maybe it's going to the lower of the 2 levels (pic has actually cut it off the chart but I'm looking at the 1.28880 area?

it is not luck, as it happens all the time over and over again.

All trades will not work out, so just take small losses and trust in what you are doing.

After time you will just see more and more things, and start to develop more and more feel for it all.

It just happens, once you spend enough time with it all. There is no 1+1=2, IMHO.

I'm not trading today..although may later on. I think EU has further to fall into the demand area but this was a 10 pip scalp long using the renko etc

I haven't traded this, I've just been watching - tried to post as near to live as poss but have had to reboot. Anyway, I had a theory so I stuck volume indi on the chart and watched
Image
Now, just trading the 1-2-3 would have done anyway, actually need to check what the trade would have done...
But what I see is price falling into the demand area quickly - big red bar but on low volume, then there's a period of high volume (yeah I know this is only broker tick volume but it still shows if that ticker is bobbing up and down like mad or not) where price hardly moves then it starts to go long, then comes back and then starts to break up long. Now lunchtime may have something to do this and I may be reading things in but it's worth a ponder. How the hourly overlay works on these charts is that the wider the hourly bar is, essentially, the faster price moved.

Edit - well it lookd like it may have just scrapped 10 pips (maybe not with spread) and there's a small pullback atm, probably out for scratch on this attempt.

Would I have taken this next high breakout of not. I'm really not sure tbh - the nearto supply area both on H4 and H1 I find 'worrying'. It might scrap 10 pips out...
