Everyone,
This is actually a great example right now of what can make traders second guess themselves and become inconsistent with their own strategies and thinking.
The trade setup is structurally sound. Execution is a beast of it's own, I've always tried to refrain from telling people HOW to enter trades because there are so many ways to do it based on your personal preference and risk appetite.
A closed candle on the Daily Time frame will confirm market intent. Keyword: CLOSED. It's not over until it's over. Once confirmed we choose when to join in on the trade. Higher time frames will always overrule the lower time frames. Don't think that just because the 30 minute candle 'confirmed' a break that the 4 hour can't change the scenario. Trust me, it can, and it inevitably will.
If the scenario changes, it's important that we adjust our trend lines. The market reversing sharply today after a breach is an important lesson every trader or want-to-be trader can learn from.
If the EUR/USD closes at or around current levels for the end of day 1.1960 or higher (which it looks like it will). Our ascending wedge bearish trade is put on hold. We will have to wait for a future break. It could still be this week, but it might be next week. Let the markets move themselves, we're just along for the ride.
