I found myself having to be “extra patient” tonight. I guess I was feeling a bit aggressive and wanting to trade. I get that way sometimes…still.
It is CRITICAL though to be patient and LET THE MARKET TELL YOU WHAT IT IS DOING. The Logical Forex Trading System helps you interpret the market and give it a logical structure, with clear reasons when to enter and when to exit. The Patient Forex Scalper is always, well, patient…and smart…and trades with the flow of the market ONLY when the highest probability, low risk, no stress trades setup.
So, I was patient.
A quick glance at the currency pairs of EURUSD and EURJPY gave a CLEAR indication of what to trade. I’ve posted the charts of both currency pairs, zoomed out. I hope it’s obvious why I chose EURJPY, but the EUR/USD actually was something that could be traded, too. I just liked the way the EUR/JPY looked. The Logical Forex Flow was more “structured” to MY eyes…and all of the Logical Forex Indicators were signalling that the setup was good.

Which currency pair looks better for a high probability trade?
I chose the EUR/JPY.
I suppose if you were looking at the trade as more of a “breakout”, then the EUR/USD would have been fine, too…but I was looking more at the overall market structure, the momentum of the price movement, the alignment of all of the Logical Forex Scalping Indicators, and so on.
*** TRADE #1
Everything “came together”…good momentum, good structure, good indicator signals, good setup…and a few other things that my Private Workshop clients know, too.
Exit #1
This forex chart is a GREAT example of why I exit “quickly”…when price begins to move against me. I have included a few more moments in the chart image so you can see that price did continue up after I exited, and then came tumbling down fast…those fast moves that create stress, and sometimes, particularly with the EUR/JPY, moving so fast it’s hard to exit “fast enough”.
What you are looking at is a fairly classic trade that I take all the time. You’ve seen it over and over in the blog postings here. And, I’m convinced that if you continue practicing and building up your experience with actual trading, you will do this REGULARLY and CONSISTENTLY on your own. It’s something that CAN be mastered! And you WILL! Keep going!
