Went too soon hoping that the LO opening in bull divs on several timeframes would take it to h4 ema swing level. Not optimal stop level either. Weekend was perhaps too long with festives here in norway. Onto the next one.

Entrypoints looks clean guys, but don't forget your targets. They are equally important.

I think getting the trade to risk-free is priority, rest will sort itself out

mega frustrating, but really just a minor bump. Identifying the correct move is still great.

Trading the Cable swings via averages

yeah insane numbers! Think I'll stick with +5%/month myself.
