Got in on the short on EU last night - almost to the pip. I've a questino for you guys on that one though.
Today:
Long on EU, this entry is a nutter:
Hourly trend down but coming into 4hr demand, for further shorts need a large pullback, or take the long. I took the long
Entered on double bottom on the 1 minute
Right - question about yesterdays short. I rode it from top to bottom but with only one position on. There were pull-backs but it didn't pull-back as far as the zones (what I saw 1 hr trend, 15 minute zones for pullback entries) - which shows people were selling before price got there. In that situation how do you guys add?

EU trade's a good one - I got in earlier on it up at supply off the 15 min chart but yes there was the risk of it bouncing off where your blue line is and coming back.
I'm back in long on EU now from 41560 - 15 minute 3CC entry at demand this time rather than trying to pre-empt it. A few pips up at the moment. Waiting to see if it overcomes the areas above before I'll see if I get a chance to add.
From my perspective I'm almost starting to see that I need to watch PA firstly and then secondly see if it lines up with a good s\d area, doing it the other way round for me I end up looking at great areas that price never gets to, turns around and then trends away. Doing it 'backwards' seems to be working better although I need to test this out over time.

Your position has nothing to do with your entry and everything
to do with space.
When you "add" to a position you are reducing space & when the
the market moves in your favor or the position is reduced then space
is increased.
The question is not what technical event signals additions but at what
price you want to be short from (additions drop the position closer to
the current price).
CC defines support/resistance & support/resistance defines how close
you can get to the current price.
If the market is moving slowly (stalling?) then sell slowly; I will reduce
my space by 20-30% when I am waiting for price to continue the trend.
If the market is moving quickly then I sell quickly & if price looks like it
is going to runaway in my favor then I will temporarily reduce my space by 40-60%.
There are a lot of tricks that you can use when thinking in terms of space that I do not have time
to cover right now, but I will say that, short of price closing over an IF/THEN of progressively higher timeframes, the chart is irrelevant.

MO, i have a question: the quick move that started an hour ago was very fast. i saw a one-minute-candle with a size of 40 pips...
but the question is: why was the move so quick? was it a lack of liquidity or just huge buy orders? or both?
the answer is interesting because if that move was mainly based on a lack of liquidity then the sellers are still in okay. if these were huge buy orders then a reversal is more likely.
i was a bit surprised that a 40-pip-spike happened because normally big orders are not that obvious...
thanks!!
