nah..... One of my rules is "manage weekly trades on a weekly chart, manage daily trades on a daily chart, manage H4 trades on an H4 chart, and manage H1 trades on an H1 chart" You will see here, I think my full take profit targets were well placed. ...

It doesn't matter to me what color the inner bar is... it can be green or red, as long as it's an I4B and I feel comfortable with where it's located, what it is following, etc etc....

another i4b.... this one was interesting to me. The 3 day bearish pin coming off the 8500 had already caught my attention, and I've see IB's following pin bars often enough. Last nights GDP numbers for sterling was enough for me to place my trade. ...

I cannot believe no one has mentioned this yet! I13B, also a squeeze alert 3 bar pattern, stradding VBRN 1.0500. I have set my sell stop and buy stop below and above the smallest (most recent) bar in the pattern. T/P are at the ORANGE fibo lines of ...
