Trade Recaps: USDJPY-LONG, GBPJPY-LONG, 21/11/2024UJ & GJ Bias Analysis: Both setups were very similar so correlation risk was high and I was effectively risking 1% on 2 separate setups. The Daily was trading at a premium, however after price began re-establishing a bullish counter trend, we pulled back into Internal range liquidity, mitigating the 62.5% and 70.5% fib levels on UJ & GJ respectively. Long entries were in line with the 1H bullish ranges and entry confirmation was achieved by means of a 15M reversal candle and Micro-timeframe confluence (1M Market Structure shift or 5M FVG inversion).
Grade:
- UJ: High Risk
- GJ: Low Risk
What I did well or could've done better:
- I choked my stop losses on both pairs as I was trying to achieve the highest possible R:R. This led to being stopped out after price traded lower on both pairs to sweep MTF TBL.
- I was focused and identified re-entry opportunities. I stuck to my trade management plan and only executed a re-entry on GJ as my plan allows for 3 maximum consecutive losses per day.
