Forex – January 21 Monday 2014 – EU Short -20

by 1 Comment

21-1-14-EU-short

 

I took this EU short during Sterling’s live room, against his recommendation(!) and subsequently lost the trade with -20 pips.

Sig level was 1.3539 which was the Asia low of the day (not shown on chart) and had shown a clear SR and confirmation candle down with a pullback for entry.

The problems with this trade was the GU was not correlating, but ran aggressively in the opposite direction; the hourly chart showed a large red hourly candle followed by pushes upwards indicating possible manipulation by SM; and the level itself was described as mediocre by Sterling, even though it had been tested in the past.

I should have taken Sterling’s advice but I think I learnt a lot from this trade/mistake which will be more beneficial in the long run.

Also, should mention that Sterling did say it was not an invalid trade nor a bad one, it just depends on one’s own trading style and the key is consistency.

    Only a small loss so not too expensive. They always say you learn more from your mistakes than successes and they are RIGHT. Keep on trading
