{quote} Gator, how do you keep so many closing prices in mind? london close, H12 close, US close , last week close, using a spreadsheet or some sort of program?
day week month are on charts.. 12h 6h i have to figure each time.. if i look at the chart on a 6 h roll.. i can see where it coordinates with the levels being shown. the 12 was higher.. the 24 was higher. but it made a LL.. so i call it less bearish or more neutral under 1755.. today's close was 1741..its still under the week and month close.. Friday i want a Lower close for the trade i am in atm.. i would like -1705.. but now -1741 is ok.. if so, its a lower weekly close.
when those days close higher like today.. most times Resistance gets a test. 1749/55 ish should get a test. meanwhile 1706 has its pull too..

question still stands ... who is it?

in any case ... seems we're stuck in a small range of 1.173 ~ 1.175 .... my bias is bearish as previously stated, but .... it seems more likely like a break to the upside than down.

You means if it break the 188ish(top line) that will stop you to short this pair, right? I am lost !
I dont think you set SL for this trade up there lol
I remember that you said 755
If SL hit again, I will try to short again around 177ish/178ish or 183ish/184ish might be!

Looks like it is neutral 1730-1748 and looks like it wants to test 1755/176ish but it needs to break 1748 first.
It could spike up or down anytime, the market is King, not sure anything but trade with SL then
Not sure about the picture!
I dont know who is she!

std later

primary account sidelined..high risk gambling on a long to the top of the 4h trend channel.
actually..prolly at weekly pp if it makes it there.

oh no.. i figured it would test 1753.. that poke counts as a test.. it has not closed above 1741.4 since L close ... it may be topping now.. the time of day sucks.. see if the next candle is red... if it does top there at 1753. it should go to 1708 or less. that pin went to where it should have, then it dropped below the close. textbook like. keep an eye on it.. its trying to top at least st..

dont like that we cant get a clean break of .1700.
my bias is short since 2.aug but if we close D over .1800 im on the sidelines again..
uptrend is still valid atm so i guess its premature but i want a lot of flesh from this leg down..

cant make up my damn mind..not unlike the market..but the way its topping...a grind to 1785 looks hard..closed manually on long... short at 747..stops at 62

agreed, it looks hard. gator is probably right again anyway im keeping my limit, dont like drawbacks ;p
one important thing ive learned its no point thinking u "loose" the chance for a trade. if i dont get the entry i feel is right ill better wait for next chance.
2 be honest i would almost be happy if we could continue down from here. even with out me. this D close under .1730 dosnt feel good.
