Buy now. We recently finally saw a clean breakout from the strong trendline that we were ranging around for be past weeks. now we had consolidation downwards which we just broke out of to the upside
Note
target setup.

Note
addon if we break above

Note
note thats its not a risk free addon, so u cant significantly improve your stop on the original position. so only do this if your original position is small anway
Note
After entering an addon after the break of the recent triangle, i pulled all the remaining stops below the triangle, since i wanna limit my risk and due to the market having not much power currently, which is always worryin for a breakout trader.
we did see a nice spike tho after the breakout and im now looking to take profits for origianl position and the 2 addons at the gartley completion point.
Note
correction. its ofc a bat pattern, so targets are a little bit higher below the 886. not the 786 for a gartley.
Note
its gettin very close to the target area. i will then also sell the bat pattern as a hedge against my remaining longs. make sure to place your orders if you re a pattern trader
snapshot
Trade closed: target reached
Target 1 reached for both addons and original postion.
Bat short hedge triggered and now stops to breakeven on that after missing my target by a few pips on the first attempt
Note
currently looking for an addon for my hedge short based on the bat. ofc the earlier consolidation wouldve been much better, but well - i need to sleep too.

Trade active
short addon active. TG1 ~50 Bat retracement TG2 ~618 Bat retracement
Trade closed: target reached
Bat Pattern and Addon TG1 it. stops breakeven for addon
Trade closed: target reached
got stopped out for my addon TG2 for breakeven. while i got a TG2 winner on the original bat sell.
no further shorts for AUDUSD left.

i still have my original long breakout and the long addon TG2 and TG3 active, so 4 position. but the stops are only 10 pips lower as current price at breakeven, so we really cant go much lower or i will be out there too.

lets see how it goes
Note
all remaining longs stop out for breakeven. all flat audusd.

this is shaping up to be a bigger consolidation i guess befor aud finally goes up. i will look into that next week. but i will probably publish a new idea for this, dont worry.
