Digs, you've mentioned that the scaling on timeframes gets more fucked up the smaller we go... what chart period would you say most accurately reflects moving averages and such?

Progress report: As we exchange messages last night, i kept my sell open waiting for a pull back before i finally close it and it turned my way, closed it with +11 pips. I opened a buy right away before i sleep and i got the trend all the way from the very bottom woke up with +46 pips. I closed it right at the weekly pivot and thought a retracement back but i wss wrong, closed it -11pips and decided to chase coz it may be heading towards weekly open so i bought @1.10484 and holding it till it reach the weekly open. I may have to chase or close it, depending on the price action. If it holds, will follow till nearest resistance with tight SL chasing 5pips below. But if it bounce at weekly open, will close it and re-figure, re- analyse, re-think.. or in other words... wait for your new chart and insights. Haha.. goodmorning master digs!

So if the M5 or H4 averages are slightly off from the H1, I should adjust them a little so they match it? H1 is the "reference" chart?

Not sure what spike candle is but I believe EURUSD going down and trendline may be good entry for a few hundred pips
