1-Hoss,thanks for your comments..PAIRS:I watch all the higly volatile pairs..AUDJPY,AUDUSD,EURAUD,EURJPY,EURUSD,GBPJPY,G BPCHF,GBPUSD,GBPAUD..plus Crude Oil,Gold,and a few Indexes,mainly SP500 and Dax..everything is correlated(Check late correlation between EURJPY and DAX and you will be intrigued,to say the least ),so,having a sell signal on gbpjpy while having a buy signal in audjpy and sp500 tells me that something doesn`t ring true..while having a buysignal on audusd and,at the same time having buy signals at audjpy,gbpjpy and Gold(aud has a positive correlation both with Gold and metals and with gbpjpy trough carry trade,usd has negative correlation with Gold ..so the trade is supported on both legs aud&usd))tells me the trade has potential..timeframes..D1 to m15.

2-Short EURJPY trade closed,at 6 pips profit ,154.52,reasons why:Protecting the trade..1-there was an m15 bar that moved above the previous 3 highs,approaching our entry price,so,no need to wait for price to touch our entry price(it did)..2-The move happened after a previous low penetration was rejected(red line at the chart),creating a buy 2B signal on m15 that opposed our open trade direction....see attached chart.

Regards
Simba
