Yeah, brutal wasn't exactly the word I used when I turned on my platform and saw that :shock:

Live and (hopefully) learn...

Here we go. Took a loss trying to go with the long momo, and when I got stopped out I flipped to short.

cwn6161.

I have gotten better results on the Blind Mouse when I enter at the daily extreme when it matches the weekly or monthly extreme also.

Things have been a bit range bound lately - profit is being lost on both sides. Even though there was large long momo again, the short profit from yesterday had been almost completely zeroed out, so my thought was to short until the long profit was zeroed.

Ya I was in that trade also. Seemed to take to long to go through the low
so I bailed. Was looking for 1.3040 really, Oh well! Made profit and there will
be other trades.

Still playing the up/down moves. I missed the drop this morning... couldn't find a good spot to get in and price had almost reached the prior low again. I may take my chances and look for a long.

Entered short on the 15min chart from the top line. I intended to let it go for a while, but I completely forgot to look at the 4H for momo. Missed a great long entry (bottom line) and got stopped out! Must remember to check momo direction...
