EIGHTCAP:GBPJPY   British Pound / Japanese Yen
just setting this up,

if there's any support on this area, with nice hammer bull candle, or W pattern on this 15m price with no lower low, best higher low. then will long this.

likely will not happen, but im just setting this mainly to post new trades or ideas.
Comment:
potential entry 15m close on this gj long
Comment:
im in, i entered abit early,
Comment:
not big trade, 1.91 RR, sl 183.250, tp 183.786
Comment:

Comment:
green then i think is pretty good trade, liqudity is below us.
Comment:
out. -200
Comment:
goign to stick to original entry if some support
Comment:
yeah, thats why always best to enter at candle close. i enter early sometimes just go get better entry, but if doesn't go our way, last 30 secs. i do let go. this one was a bit bad case, down 200 bucks. see 1hr close. 183.047 i want to see some support thehre. then i'll long it. see 1hr close. tp i will set lower abit, 183.878
Comment:
remember news later today, supposed to be quite bad news for uk, people might flock to the yen instead to hedge

damn t his trade, hit our tp, then bounced back, i still won't long it thou. i'll wait for a retracement on 1hr then look to short again or try wait to see more data
Comment:
GJ any 1hr close under 183.019, i won't like to trade it, will cancel the trade.
Comment:
i got in a tthe bottom almost GJ, wait 1hr close i suggest, i entered early
Comment:
tempting to short xau, here quick scal. but i won't post it for u guys, too risky
Comment:
this 1hr cnadle is abit fat on the red side. if closes too low or too fat red. will candle the trade. if 50% is ok. seems too fat for me. and news tonight should be bad.

i shorted xau, but i don't suggest to follow.
Comment:
on 400 profit on both trades now
Comment:
i don' tlike the fat candle on GJ 5 mins left, i maybe get out
Comment:
out at some small profit, like 80 bucks
Comment:
so when i entered earlier, there was huge divergence on 15m candles. meaning at the higher point there was big market buyer orders more then sellers but price still going down. meaning, the limit orders on sellers were stronger. so i entered on next candle. this area is a support. and 1hr candle is still clearly a up trend. i entered as i thought we are in a good zone, that sellers will have lost soem power. also we in liquidity zone of support right now. so im expecting alot of sellers market orders to get cancelled. it still shows it this way. but i got out early as it isn't my strat, and i was expecting a bigger bounce then that. i trade very tight sl, so i do this to get in early or get out early to balance out if i miss my shot. earlier lost abit more then 200, and i got out at plus 80 bucks. i don't consider it a loss, just testing oppotunities. abit like poker small and big blinds. you never know if you check raise, on the turn and every one folds.
Comment:
im ok to to put out there some cash, and even if lose 2x orders sl 400 bucks, im cool. i rely on the big winners, and so far above 50% win rate so far, this month 61% past 15 days.
Comment:
when i mention about divergence, im talking about order flow orders divergence, not candle divergence
Comment:
next zone below is around 181.465 for GJ, will set a alert for it.
Comment:
so when strat works, based on order flow, it takes abit of time for it to happen. thats why better to go in with candle sticks when price closes. sometimes theres more sellers who are fomo following market, so it takes abit of time. but when i see my strat winning to starting to fail, usually best to get out. i say 80% of time will lose. best get out first.
Comment:
i didn't post, once i saw that news, and it pumped, i went 1x order almost at the top. sold it almost all the way down, that 1hr candle close previously. about 900 bucks haha. can't post news trades, its too fast. also i odn't go big orders, more like quick scalps or burst, unless eg, price very high, and usa GPD/cpi news maybe i hold longer.
Comment:
i entered a 1.5x order long on GJ previous candle close. on 15m. about 50 bucks profit so far. but i think is bad trade, , if this 15m closes lower then 182.748, im getting out. at 250 bucks loss
Comment:
small loss on gj 210 bucks
Comment:
2 wins 3 loses, stilll small profit, im on a short now in xau. don't follow. news anything can happen and too late to enter, i got in at a good price, 15m close on prevous candle
Comment:
600 bucks now, i want to hold to tp. 1977.2
Comment:
saw 950 profit,
Comment:
closed, 920 bucks
Comment:
3 wins 2 lose. ahead about 1.1k, nice trading day. that area seems some suppport. usually want down, then retrace up. we should see big drop after. i think retrace 1 more time so i took, it, i'll explain my trade later. going ot have some supper
Comment:
if goes back up, 1986, fails short it again
Comment:
make sure if 1986, see a wick or some bearish signs that price can't pump up. then short it. i'll let a alert. pretty happy for today already. news trading whole week, and usually i don't do so well.
Comment:
news maybe over that dump i said on 1986, it already happened at 1984, then dropped im likely not going to trade this any more. was having supper.
maybe stop market order short.

i'll explain my trade, so maybe others can think the same way or get some idea whats going on when i traded and why i sold.
ok i shorted it just now as obvious news on USA gdp interest rate was good and with employment news was good, so definately people will want cash.
so overall news not so good for gold. big manupliation pump up. so ofcourse liqudity grab will come, plus bad news. i first shorted in, as it was about 50% of that top and bottom candle, i usually do that, small orders to quick scalp and sell at those types of prices. i knew the highs of the order blocks will be broken. and resistance of new limit orders to sell were there. made 800 there.

2nd trade, price wnet down to a strong support, which i would usually quick scalp long there too. price went up, to roughly fib zone about 62% from the low to the high, plus resistance from that order zone as can see on 15m and 1hr high. infact, 1hr high never closed higher then that before. once 15m closed, i shorted again, with a sl higher then the 15m candle wick with entry 1988.23. usually if fails to go high, will have big pump down, it hit previous support zone, but the candle was damn ass red. so i held to see next candle. i expected big pump down and fast, but i saw support at 1981.6 because that was the candle on 1hr time frame where this pump started. so i knew that likely will pump and retrace abit. so i got out as low as i could get. and i plan to reenter again to short later. so i got out.

over all nice wins, another profitable day, with more then 3R on 2x orders. so 6 R
Comment:
i think news is already done. so go back to fundamentals. i likely won trade this already, maybe i'll look to short if some resistance on 1986, or stop market order 1979.77, short, tp 1977.08 sl 1981.61 for a 1.5RR order. lets see, if any weakness first. this 15m pretty damn bullish and price buyers willing to buy around here.

XAU
Comment:
damn i put in that stop market and went off. took a loss -400. still over all up today. i still wont' long it thou. still shorts for me. price too low to long over here. shorting a support sucks likely wont' trade xau until break zone. or some patterns form on 15m

Comment:
about 350 to 520 now on GJ, but im pretty sure will get a retracement. will watch 15m candles to decide. i should have opened that long on xau, should be about 1k now. would have sold already too.
Comment:
i saw 800 right on that support.
Comment:
stil in it, now about 600. but i will watch this 15m candle to decide.
Comment:
1hr and 4hr/ daily looks like have chance to go down to tp
Comment:
1300 bucks, from that support it bounced up, then top previous resistance on 182.750 there was a resistance, sellers took it and market sold and broke that support.

Comment:
i've set sl at profit at 182.82
Comment:

Comment:

Comment:
daily is stagnant and seems about to decide to go up or down.

4hr is over all bearish. looks like want to retest down to 181.544 max.
then hourly was looking bullish but that news hit it pretty hard to stick back to bearish.
Comment:
lol 1.85k to 500 bucks maybe back at entry in 10 mins, fk. i still will look to short, i knew there will be a retracement. but this is too fast.
Comment:

i wanted to hold it abi tmore to see 1hr close, if lwoer low or not. but it started shaking there so i got concerned.
Comment:
usually tha tmeans some big thing is going to happen
Comment:
damn sold well
Comment:
this 15m candle close if have some wick damn tempting to short agian, but i odn't want ot over trade. usa market openign soon. im expecting some pump. and we get some news later. price maybe ranging to have the news later.
Comment:
nah going to wait for after news.
Comment:
xau long jus tnow, would have been a good trade. 4RR now. didn't enter it thou
Comment:
yeah so if renetered again, woudl have been good. so see the pump at the zone before, see how high it went. then see this times pump. lower then before. shows buyers weakness is coming, but my concerns, is yes over all bearish, but not in a zone that shows clear bearish yet. usually will lead to consolidation. i still will short not long. but my concerns is before the news it was rallying up. seems people wants to buy maybe due to usa as well. the i've set before maybe a quick thing. maybe touch then bounce back likely.
since the high was so high, i got concerned, of alot of market buyer orders to still try. to pump it. i think hace chacne to hit tp. but just cautious maybe not yet right time. better to see usa news first. maybe wont hit tp, but near it. so not too confident. i caught 3 downs already. 1 was 1.8k i didn't cash it in. then last one was 1.3k. other one less then 1k.
Comment:
if price is under 182.269, i will definaly hold longer. and best no bullish news tonight on usa.
Comment:
this can be "abreak to remember strat" but i say not really, only if looking at aasian starting session, if over all. no, esp with that big pump.

damn it, too much talking no action, didn't take the trade. should be another 1k here. lol
Comment:
our abtr strat is only on down trend, 15m just turned bearish only. likely due to news. its MTF from 1hr down wave, trend and direction movement must be down wave. not like this. so i won't count it as a abtr strat. just got lucky, i still entered it just be more conservative on trade amount and tp amount.
ok gl out there. let see if .290 gets hit.
Comment:
price around here and 1hr close i would get out and close already
Comment:
quick scalping xau short now
Comment:
want ot see the 1hr close, i entered abit early. tp 1974, sl 1983.82. may close trade early if i don't see any resistance coming in. uk is pumping xau, usa session in 3 hours less may sell it.

15m higher high im getting out of xau on 15m close
Comment:
was a GJ long at our tp entry, about 400 bucks
Comment:
im still in the xau, i didn't sell. i want to see next 15m candle, try get out at entry. or lower. by the time i was texting here, it was too near my sl. no point to sell already
Comment:
15m close, i want to see lower then previous high, as i don't want resistance to turn support
Comment:
kinda know whats going to happen already. once news comes and bad for gold. price will pump, then dump hard, best to get out of the trade as fast as possible
Comment:
out xau, -380
Comment:
tried to get out at entry, but didn't see i happening. ok lets wait for the news.
Comment:
but seriously speaking, look at GJ once touch tp, that zone pretty spot on, its not bursting up., but pretty smooth pushed up. i won't long, not yet. still will look for shorts on xau but not now. with the news likely will have nice pump
Comment:
oh man, bad exit, back at entry on xau. with some profit too. im already out. never hit sl. jus tnear it. think the higher high scared me. on 1hr close and hammer up candle.
Comment:
could have got out now, i wont'enter as news in 1.hrs, never know if any manupiation
Comment:
also 15m is a quadra top, don't see that alot, usually only triple top
Comment:
caught that short on GJ not from top, but pretty good, about 1.1k profit, loss on xau, i expected news to be good for usa, expected 0.2 ppi, ended up 0.
so buyers flocked to xau. loss 400 on xau, won on GJ. profit about 600 after fees. it also got me in on bad price. i sold as it was strong support. i don't think it will break so fast. maybe later. but took it at 1.1k. news trades within first hour best to just take profits first. i learnt lesson many times. today news trading day turned out pretty good. no possible to post my trade i will take on news trading. moves too fast.
Comment:
good chance if xau holds around these areas. might retrace abit then shoot up. sellers losing power, maybe tmw will look for longs if still hold this area on UK session. likely wont trade here. don't want to long GJ. and shorting a strong support is the worse idea.
Comment:
if price on xau, holds at 1981.35, i will look to long tmw.
Comment:
this zone here for GJ, i suggest not to trade, we slightly bearish still, news is bad over all for GJ. but we on strong support. goign to be choppy, best if short look for the ABTR strat on 15m.
Comment:
or first 15m close under 182.048 on 15m chart
Comment:
gj 1hr close looks like sellers about to market drop it, don't mean will be big down fast, there's lots of support too careful
Comment:
182.196 strong careufl watch to break first, not enter earlier if to short.
Comment:
im on on this short
Comment:
support seems like broken, 1hr close likely sellers will still try to sell. we on support but i think sellers will try keep trying to sell around this area. sl 1.426, tp 181.426
GJ
Comment:
i won't accept any 15m candle green or showing some support wicks. i expect price to go down within the hour. or 2. so im watching carefully
Comment:
i expect if price breaks here, it can go very down, so i m with 4x orders. even my tp, can go lower
Comment:
even down to 178.812
Comment:
2m left, i won't accept any wick candle
Comment:
order flow is crazy, so much market selelrs buy no movement to go agressive down, im ranging from 250 now to 450
Comment:
saw 650, but its goign down real real slow, not too happy about that, if close around here, likely to hit tp pretty fast. 4hr close comign up.
Comment:
im ranging from bloody 450 to 1450 every 15 mins,
Comment:
i want to see this 1hr candle red or signs of sellers still. by right we should be able to down easily
Comment:
another trade of hit sl then hit tp again, i feel. already once today. i hope not. my sl is at slight profit right now
Comment:
just realised, something, again we got caught in NY opening, then sudden pump. just bs man. twice like this already.
Comment:
hit my sl at profit, damn, from 1550 down to 400, then up to 1250. then back down to 100 bucks. damn,
Comment:
so sad, hit my entry prefectly rejection jesus. thats why best to set and forget honestly on thse types of strats
Comment:
going back in on this candle like this
Comment:
this short, shorter sl. 182.067
Comment:
i can't do 60% of tp to sl entry no more. i think need at least 75% and above.
Comment:

rejection down, on our 1981.35, with fomc news super pump. if i wasn't dealing with deel issues, i would have caught that move maybe not entry, but my alerts all sounded off. i could have market bought that if watching the news.
