The hard road to consistency

Sure thing.

 

Pinging you from my holiday now...looking forward to those charts.

 

Sorry guys for the delay. Here are some 1min charts from this week.

 

This one was a mistake. Engulfer should be sitting on an important support/resistance, be distinct and bigger than average of last few bars.

 

This kind of box can give really powerful breakouts. Great trade with a small risk and big potential rewards.

 

This one was stopped out. A stop wider by 1 pip would result with a profitable trade and 1:10 risk to reward.

 

I appreciate the charts. Your last post really jives with some of what I look for.

 

You are right. This was a pretty weak setup. 1min started to trend but there was no confirmation on 5min

 

You are welcome. Are you familiar with a Bob Volman's book ? It really gave me food for thought.

I also like to trade first pullback after strong breakout using strictly 5min charts. This approach seems to be similar to your strategy.
