To much is given much is accepted; liquidate err something like that.
S&R has its role in trading, mainly to assist you in entering into your initial trade and holding that trade until your plan is completed.
S&R can be seen everywhere that you imagine it & you can have quite the imagination =]
To focus on S&R while a trade is in progress is to go nowhere, but if you call yourself a scalper then no one will look at you funny.

True.
I often find myself in the situation where I can go long and after 20sek. I can go short according to actual sup/res. Therefore I'm more concerned about where the held profit is and where the momentum lays. Although I got moments where it gets little bit crazy
Meanwhile I'm trying to become long-term trader which I find difficult because of my lack of patience.
My best attempt at long-term trading was this one:
Price failed to close lower than the lower white line so I waited for momentum on H1, entered on a pullback and trade went immidietely my way. Two days later it closed over higher white line so I was safe at that point. I only regret not hitting BUY button anymore on my way up
Target was this weekly ZLine:
I also just noticed that momentum was unfolding in XY pattern on that whole move.
SL was something about 40pips so RR was great also it was a lot less stressful than scalping but still I was going through hard times holding it that long. Especially during those 4 pullback days.
During quiet days ("stalls") I inch up by adding 1 or 2 lots at a time like a mindless zombie. As price closes higher I might add 3-5 lots then 1 or 2, but if it makes a really strong move then I would cut my space by as much as 60% then 1 or 2 lots following the trend with position.
I don't focus on making trades, I focus on making trades pay.

I never thought about it that way.
Shifting focus to building up a trade might feed my lack of patience. Thank You for something new to test.

We just hit ZLs from H4 to M5 so it was more than granted
OANDA is a great broker except it loses connection from time to time for a couple of minutes and sometimes it takes more than a minute to place your order.
Defenitely more fun than trading itself.
Hope adaseb wont get mad at me for posting charts.
Now let's relax, shall we?
