    Ok, I'll start by saying I really shouldn't attempt this trade as I'm trying to catch a top with no good previous SR as reference, but it does at least have some good features Smile

    Reason for trade: Sharp price rise over last couple of days, good looking pin bar, turning 3,2,2 stochastic and MACD divergence.

    Entry: 279.6
    Stop: 295
    1st Target: 1:1 R:R

    Well, on the plus side it looks like I managed to catch the top, however still waiting for price to make a major move down. The wait continues....

    Leaving this to run as is, however just taken a look at this on IGCharts and am shocked at the difference in look to PRT, I'll post what I'm seeing when I have a few mins as having looked at it for 5 mins or so I'm baffled! I assumed PRT and IG daily charts should look roughly the same... that said having seen Wig's spike the other day, perhaps not!!

    Here's what I see on IGCharts, I can safely say that I would not be in this trade based on the Finspreads or IGCharts!

    Well this turned out to be one big mess in the end!

    Firstly having entered the trade I realised that no 2 charts could agree on what the price chart actually looked like for SPD, some showing a pin bar and nice run up and others printing a chart that you wouldn't even entertain!

    After which I identified a need to bring my stop in, however then had no internet for a while and was therefore unable to do this, after which I missed the chance.

    Anyway to cut a long story short, bad entry, bad management and given these two factors a -1.0 RRP loss.

    Chart (on which I took the trade) shows break of pin where I was stopped out.
