Hi all, hope we are all safe.

Both Cable and e/u 00-00 4 hour bar low broke, So i was short, then retrace back up so i went Long with both, off the 04-00 2hour bar. everything is good.

i can afford to play as it is early morning and pre 08-00 open.
Trade well all.

Morning all. Got a nice easy 20 on GJ this morning, break of 12-4am range (cheers Billy). Price was above the daily pivot AND daily open so it was always going to be long for me.

Price now sitting at DR1 and yesterday's high with scope to go higher, but I'm out.

yes it is..... i do not trade this 2 hour all of the time, but it was early and we had signs of an up move.
i do not mention dollar index very often even though i have always watched it,
Dollar index is taking a battering so cable goes up.

Dont forget i am primarily a line trader. lol
trade well bud.

Got it. Cheers for explaining. I suppose one would only need to look at countering using the 2 hour range if the 12-4am range itself was fairly big. I was also having a look at the 4-7am range that Claudia uses and that works pretty well too.

Cable 00-00 4 hour bar break.
chart is 2 hours, copied a few minutes ago.
if we are looking for adr or a 70 range . high would be 13086 for 70 range.
and the low would be 13000 lets say the 00.

I think I get it. When shorting at the 12-4am low, you are aiming for less points because from that point, your modest 70 range is only 30 points away, for arguments sake. If you went long at the break of the 4-6am range, you are aiming for more points because the modest ADR from there is over 50 points up. Is that it?

12-4am break on GU, we've had a low break, and then a pretty strong move up to break the high of the range. Price seems to have stalled and has reversed a bit with 1.3050 being a pain. As Billy says, in theory we should keep going up now to make the ADR, but it could still break the low again and aim for 1.30.

Which is to be today Claudia? Will we get close to DR1 or are we heading back down aiming for DS2?
