144 and 143 would be beautiful tp's for me. But I love how your "interesting trend line" was close to my median line. Maybe I am doing something right.

Mo - do you still use the idea of a "line in the sand" that is a line that price can cross - but NOT close over) and have space to give myself wiggle room?

Price cannot rise on wicks, neither can it fall without closing lower than something.

Does that mean that every close over is bullish? No, it just means that a close over is the min. req. for a bullish expansion.

I use price levels ( "where did she come from, where did she go?" ) as triggers and use 1 or 2 lines on either side as a stop loss with a min
profit target of even money (basically a SSG or BZ trade).
The only time that I really think about making a lot of pips is after I have accumulated a large position size.

I'll use: BZ, SSG, Flip-flops (Rat trade), 1-2-3, &/or Wick-zone with EIGHTS position sizing and money management.

A 'line' is simply 38.2% of the H1 ATR of the last 48 hours multiplied by 2 (size / 2) for each larger chart eg:
H1 48 ATR = 13.1 pips
H1: 5 pips = $10
H4:10 pips = $10
D1: 20 pips = $10
etc

Take profits is a rule that I MUST respect.

I took a loss here, I had a limit order exactly where price wicked the zone but my take profit was higher than the red line (that would have been the real target).
When I woke up price was coming closing below the zone, reversal didn't work

Btw if I took profits now I wouldn't be crying

1. Doji style is scalping, so take your profits when you can (especially when trading against HTF trend)
2. I basically marked out a map for you on UJ. You should have known to take some small scalps up but the meat was down.
3. Trade 2 pairs, one timeframe until profitable
