i took a sell trade on GBPJPY yesterday, closed it out with a small loss, when i went to sleep it dropped lower ..... i am very confused at the moment as i was expecting a HIGHER UP leg to complete the 3 rise up on higher TF.
Question for CJ: when do u decide to pull the plug when the map is not like u planned. do u trade lower timeframe to cover losses or drawdown when u enter Higher timeframe.
I see EURCAD
on the third level low.
gonna take a buy here. will post later the image

I'm not sure about your GJ trade Gerry, a chart would help us to see.....
There is no easy answer for how long to hold on the higher time frame...on the 15M, if you enter a trade during London, 2-3hrs should give you a good indication of a correct move. Time slows on the higher time frames...
Take note of the tick volume on the EC charts you posted...you are entering trades before price reaches the exhaustion point. When tick volume drops off, the price move is ending and consolidation is beginning....
