Having a look at the GU 60 min chart gives me some reason to look for some long side continuation. We have 3 pushes into a support area, now at a dtl that should give away due to the 3 pushes that preceded it. Should the dtl give way the 1.5765 area should prove interesting - a few stops of shorts may be found above that swing high. Cheers, eNQ

took off half on GU here - balance at b/e, going to let pa help me detemine exit. UPDATE: out rest of GU - leaving 1 car as a runner
-
Currently stalking a long on GU... EDIT: entry triggered, sweaty hands on the mouse button now
-
Similarly GU also has a good looking long setup in progress.
-
EU reached daily support levels. This entry, if it triggers, could be beginning of a nice move.
-
Time to stalk a long on GU, once this 15min bar completes. Edit: Made a new ll - invalidates setup

Marko, I have very similar experiences. I will take the snap at entry, but the admin required to post the actual entry means that it is at least a couple of minutes before the comment and pic makes it to the thread. Nevertheless I believe the value is not in calling 100% realtime trades as for this we could just open a trading room and add even more distractions. For me the value is in showing what I see as an opportunity and the comments on that rather than trying to show how good my read is. I think you don't even need to try and post 100% real time - that would keep you from posting altogether, potentially, and that would be a real shame. Cheers, eNQ

and last update... ES target reached
-
ES target area indicated...
-
For Jonbig and Forrest - ES short setup... Edit: potential target = lod 1082 area
-
I see a big wedge on the 240min EU - tcl still not reached there

Hi Everyone, First illness and now workload has reduced me to a lurker on this thread, for now. I need to adjust my trading style to cater for the fact that I will have less live screentime. I am pretty sure that this implies that I will need to explore trades on higher timeframes than the 15min chart. I will need to key into areas to watch for swing entries and trades. For me this means watching the daily / 240min for these areas and using the 15 / 60min to fine tune and manage entries. Will explore this over the next few weeks and will probably remain in lurk mode for a while more. Cheers, eNQ

Hi Cory, I prefer not to have trades on in more than 1 pair. I feel they are too correlated and I also prefer to only manage one trade at the time. My main reason is the correlation factor. Cheers, eNQ
-
Man, I have been tempted to pull the plug on this trade about 1000 times but stayed true to my plan. Finally, stop moved... Cheers, eNQ
-
Watching this short setup on GU.
-
Yes it does make sense - thanks for the clarification..
-
Hi Thales, My understanding of your comment is that my stop was too small? Is that correct? Cheers, eNQ
-
Hi Kiwi, I am actually annoyed at myself that I got suckered into attempting a late long again. I do hope I have learnt my lesson now... Cheers, eNQ
-
No surprise. Got stopped on my belated EU long...
-
Right now I am eyeing this long setup on EU. EDIT: It is quite clear to me that this entry is one swing too late, I will still manage this according to my plan - just making the observation. GU has dropped into the previous support area again and a 123 setup could develop for longs again. Cheers, eNQ
-
GU long only made it to PT1 before sinking back and taking the balance out at be. I did expect a better move from that 240min support but will let pa guide me at all times. Kinda disappointed that PT2 was not even threathened... Cheers, eNQ
-
long entry on the GU. I also included my 240min chart to illustrate the support and resistance areas that I am watching for trade initiation. Cheers, eNQ
-
Thanks Thales! It was +56 ticks, to be more precise. I am certainly happy with the result! Cheers, eNQ
-
Been battling to get onto this forum all day. Update on GU long: closed it for more or less +50ticks. Charts attached herewith. Cheers, eNQ

Set the entry for a long on GBPUSD and had to leave my office for a while. Came back to a trade in which I can now set the stop at breakeven and hold for target or a reversal formation against me. Cheers, eNQ ( I am unable to load charts but I essentially took a breakout entry at 1.1610 and am target the next big resistance at 1.6220 area.)
