A moment of failure or success!?

This is not yet failure.
This is not yet success.

This may be compression before expansion.

If price pushes higher above 2275.75 and holds, we may see a strong move toward 2530.
However, if price drops below 2217, it could extend lower, potentially targeting the 1950 area.

For now, since both the weekly and daily timeframes remain above the M20, I am holding the position, aiming toward 2535.

Could you share this metric? What is it? Thank you!

We had a really nice structure and rally on the FR40. By the time the market opens, it will be worth following to see how things develop.... worth following.

DAVID99 – This is a trading journal. Unfortunately, as you know, Forex-Station has rules, and if I were to share this product, which you may find on the MQL5 Market, it would be considered commercial content — and that is not my intention here. Thank you for understanding.

I will continue posting my thoughts and setups, but this journal is primarily for my own personal endeavor. Hopefully, it may also inspire others to start learning — whether from my failures or my successes.

I will always be happy to receive constructive comments, like the ones Ogee from Trusted News shared, which can help me grow further. I especially welcome those who explain why I should avoid or stay away from certain trades, as there may be aspects I haven’t taken into account — and that kind of feedback helps more than anything.

Nobody is perfect, and neither is my trading. But if someone is willing to cooperate in a spirit of mutual interest, that can only be beneficial for everyone involved.

If 2343 supports the price and it holds above that level, I may open a new buy order, adding to our current position. However, if the price moves lower, that would mean closing the remaining position and looking further for sell back toward 2255.

proud of being with the eyes on this one as well; as mentioned; it got me ...

WORTH to take a look at this possible pull back before trend continuation !?
JP225.cash - once market open eyes on !
56865.35 - acceptance above = bullish continuation bias
56046.88 - major structural support
Below that - character change
So yes — monthly favors higher eventually. But that does NOT mean no pullback first.
If price fails to reclaim 58730–58800 region. We lose intraday value. Acceptance below 58570
If that happens, the path may open toward: 57814; 57397; 56936; 56468
