{quote} it dont matter what i think. its not giving evidence of pulling back. it did miss 1.2 and even higher on the way down. its not giving any sign of dropping.. i am just trading against the hour atm not closing 1755+last h, because its the beginning of the week and the end of July..
Hi Gator,
Could you please elaborate on "it did miss 1.2 and even higher on the way down"?
you mentioned this many times in your posts. Does that weekly gap on the way down give the level any significance/insignificance? And why so?

{quote} well, i can scratch that.. the last h closed above 1755. i am still short due to 1755 is so close to high.. and its the end of july. it looks bullish. but 1/2 of 1400 pips is 700, its larger than a hh.
Just got back
I am waiting for a break the channel to confirm the short!
It could rally up to 18xx but I think it will be ranging until NFC
You got perfect short entry!
I'd like to short around 1857(50) or 1877(161.8)
Still bullish looking but short is better idea than long in the next couple week I think!

{quote} i thought i could cock block bulls enough to get 1708 st against 1755 (so i would just lower stops if it went my way). . and just maybe have a footing to 1650/42 with month's end and nfp.. (than just watch and move stop lower if those 700 started to gain theory)
tried to post this 30 min ago, but FF was down. b.e. hit... a possible long on a 1713 retrace may develop. still strong bull looking.. st 1902+ ish may be sought. but buying here at high is not my thing. maybe 1713 ish will look better. its above the 1755 (week close support/r).. with some possible 1784/85 support. using 1902 may put 1839 as a 1/4 point.. some resistance may be at 1839 and 1846...

1.2178 .. and even 1.418x... not much to say. the drop a few years back broke a low w/o retracing a minimal normal amount since.
on the 1.418x one, 1891 is a level.

testing near 1839/46 atm.. if it drops it may give a entry b4 reaching 1902.. if so, entry may be 1713/1649

this would be the last quarter b4 1902. this would be a st pa. so u have to give it some chance. but its still counter. using it gives a lower entry for 1902 at or below the 1713, til 1649. with some past support at 1650.. but its bullish, so it may not be pretty. its free to wait for a possible lower chance at 1713/1650

1784 is now probably a major area now for Larger closes. ny rolled with HH in that 1839/46 area. 1784 and 1755 being above 1713, dont make it easy.

i got one pending at 1840, missed that little 1832 spike hours ago. using 1840 against the 1846+2 as stop. i do think 1825/26 is getting a visit. and 1825 ish may be a strong s/r later. since its under it atm, i have it as R. also 1841. 1825 strength unknown atm.. but later it may harden.. 1825 untested atm...

only got to 1838.x. (it missed the pending 1840). still in s/o danger. but with closes below 1825 that should reduce. i wanted my trade to be above 1826, in case it went my way. it would help my stop being above 1826

Yeah Gator,
I got it at 1832. I set Sl at 1849, just in case a 20-30 pips spike(I think my broker offers me wider spreads then yours so I set it 1 pip higher) .
I think it will visit at least 1785 or even 1750 area before another leg up or go further down!
Waiting for 1h close, if below 1815, I think we are good to hold, otherwise, wait for it hits SL then.
Overall trend is still bullish !!!

Gator, looks like 1h closes below 1815, looking good for this trade so far!

On the monthly chart, the normal retrace support now should move to 11xx area.
But I think 1845 is not top yet for for up side. We still have HH and need double top or monthly doji candle or something like that!
How do you think?

1784 is normal support for the rise from 1722 to 1845, hope that we will see a break below 1751 or 1722 is even better before London open
I think it is time to move SL to B.E
