{quote} if the high remains.. it should retrace to 1596... I hope it isn't finished. I had to close.. my tp was 1624,, but its not worth the risk to 1596.. i have shorts pending 1325 against the high+3 stop
Thanks Gator.. hope it goes to 1596.. that will be a cake with sprinkle ;;

4:30 P.M. London time is correct, and that is 11:30 A.M. in the United States eastern time zone --- and that is 1.15532 on three different MT4 brokers...

Home page › Prices & markets › International Markets › Exchange Rates

Even London Stock Exchange (LSE) refers to Exchange Rates under International Markets category not under LSE itself, so 4.30 PM (LSE closing hour) have no meaning for Foreign Exchange Market Hours regarding the London trading hours, as we can see on Oanda, or any other FX broker around the world...

LSE Closing hour = LDN Closing hour + 30 min

everyone is probably a little gun shy in this range. If this little bottom on the usd holds. than the bottom of the eu should not. The closer to 1627.. the closer to the usd bottom at 94.98... the closer to those,, the less stop needed. the greater the reward potential. the less of the risk potential. I was waiting for 1625 to short. I closed long hours ago, I have some shorts already. pa at 1610 atm. if it breaks the usd bottom. eu should rise to 17xx.. But if it dont, eu should drop.. I took some early positions.. I will add if eu closes below 1553.. no real right or wrong answers.. its going up, or its going down. Its best to be wrong with the least amount of drawdown.

this little HS failed to drop on the first R shoulder.. it came back and formed a new R shoulder. It tried to make a new low on shoulder 2. it too failed, atm. don't know the outcome of it yet.

It still may go up// I just went with the risk verse reward. the q month and week had those lower closes. I figure that and a suitcase of money could get me laid in vegas 4 streets from the strip.

If a single M48 candle will close above 1.16201 (the 233 EMA), the price movement will continue upward ...

LDN Open is at 1.16147, and Fibonacci 0.382 extension is at 1.16146, one single pipettes away ...

Strong resistances at 1.16280 (EMA233 for H1 TF) and 1.16314 (EMA55 for H4 TF) ...
