Thanks, yes I have been looking at the GBP/USD that you mentioned. I was looking back for the past couple of months on the daily chart. I notice at least a couple of times, the pair trended for 2 weeks, then was stuck in a range for one, and then continued with the trend. How much weight should something like this be given??
MACD, RSI and Stoch are all where I want them. I like moving when stoch crosses on daily, which it did today, it seems to have yielded success in my backtests.
I missed a triangle breakout with the trend on the h1 chart that occurred today and has gained 100 pips since the breakout.
I think I am beating myself up too much about missing the breakout. I wrestle with waiting for a pull back or a break out of another resistance line, or just go with the stoch cross on daily as mentioned. The ADX seems to be weakening on the daily so I have concerns on that as well. Thoughts on the triangle breakout and ADX? Any other comments are valued. Have a nice weekend!
