Important candlestick: Doji, bullish/bearish engulfing

My Trading Mantra

1. Objectively identify my edges - I have a system here that works.
2. Pre-define the risk of every trade.
3. Completely accept the risk. Consider the money GONE.
4. ACT on my edges without reservation or hesitation. Follow the rules and take every trade that meets the conditions.
5. Pay myself as the market makes money available. Take the profits and be happy. Even if compounding my account, pay myself something out of my profits each month.
6. Continually monitor my susceptibility for making errors.
7. Understand the absolute necessity of these principles, and therefore I never violate them.

EuroUSD relationship with GbpUSD

The 2 pairs should always be inline. If their direction/trend is in conflict, don't enter trade if if signals/indicators tell you so. This is to reduce risk.
