update

Today it's going to be a couple of charts. On the left a choppy market, CCI mainly between 100s. Ignore the pivot lines, bugs.Middle chart: entered on this ghost long here. It went for +19pips and I moved my stop to BE+2. Then it turned back, and then turned back again leaving me behind. Need to keep this in mind. This is already the second time something like this happening to me. I probably need to re-think my targets and how I move to B/E.
A nice ghost there, symetrical and all. Worked well, butnoticed it too late. With the trend, too. It's damned true that trading live is different than watching static charts. I really need some soft to do tick-replay. Not affordable currently, though.Another thing to re-consider is my main stop-loss. Currently it's at 15 pips, maybe moving it to 10 might be smarter. Most of the obesrvable trades are ~20pips. But then again, not. Today the leading indicator news in USA resulted around ~80-100 pip movements on most major charts.
Maybe I should putting in buy limit and sell limit orders as per that ebook where you put a limit order just a few ticks above and below the last few minutes' bars highs and lows. After it gets opened, possibly manage with CCI. Yet to think about the small ups and downs right after the news. On EUR/USD there was no CCI signal, at least which I could have noticed before a 80 pip movement.
