GBPUSD thoughts

Do the walk away trades justify a system of their own? eg, are there enough trading opportunities or examples to check?
nope, enough trades but not good enough records to know which is what!
so i need to proceed down your route i think, decide what trades i want to stick with and then get some discipline and a collection of data:)
 
Ok andy I have overlayed my variables to US500 and will look for possible signals to trade until US opens later were I will stop looking for entries and only manage any open positions
 
Did you go to BE because of plan or ME factor?
thankyou i had to think before answering that one:) not ME, i think, but also not part of a written plan.

disclaimer time - i am an elliot wave counter

on a 5 min chart the pattern off the low started to look like a 5 wave impulsive wave rather than a 3 wave corrective wave. which meant it was going to reach my entry point and ultimately above that so i bailed at BE before it got to my stop.
at the time this was just my Feel based on experience i suppose.
in this case it looks to be a correct feel. has saved me a loss. but raises issues

1. hard to write a "feeling" into a trade plan
2. would not have happened if i were not screenwatching

My thoughts on US500 - breakout below recent low with either continuation or false , if holds around 2720 and lowers (pull back to catch people out possibly) also 30min bias short . Had entry signal in place but not reached

I moved my GBP position to BE because of the support and long entry signal that popped up
