Usually the price pulls back after hammer candle.

DXY almost at the morning low levels however GBPUSD is still 35 pips away from morning high.

I sincerely doubt it will touch 1.2800 today but I will be happy to be wrong.

Look like 1.2808 is a minimum target right now. but it switching momentum too fast.. hate it.
Price is Ranging before CPI... hope you are looking forward to tommorow, because I am!
Range is always ugly and no indicators work in Range. Indicators are all made for trending markets.

{quote} What kind of difference, don't understand haha... I like it the way it is now.. last H4 closes at exactly 11PM (in Croatia) when market resets. You're saying I would get different signals and candle bodies if I used different time zones? That's interesting actually.

Just remember my saying.

Asia goes up... then rest of the sessions down.

Asia goes down... then rest of sessions up.

You have seen what happened today.

Asia.. range 30 to 40 pips. when to take counter trend trade ? After 30 to 40 pips...finish from asia open to b4 LO.

Meaning 5 pm est to 3 am est.

Just observe this.
Intraday only.

Several people are talking about using the 4 hour candle as a signal. I am a simple guy. It simply makes sense to get the candle aligned with market activity to use it as a signal for what is happening in the market. I appreciate your pointing out which 4 hr candles are more impactful.

EDIT
As long as your broker has a 4 hr offset with the forex market, the 4 hr candles will be consistently shaped, it is only an issue if you have something other than a 4 hr offiset.

Range is beautiful. It shows fair value where buyers and sellers agree and the level the market seeks. It is the most important level to the market and the perception of that value is what causes trends. Value(range) along with trends indicates direction. So range is the indicator. Imbalance and balance. Recognize that it in the totality of light and dark that divinity resides. 2 opposites that form the whole.

Hi
It did have this problem on two different platforms Trading View & MetaTrader4, one and the same broker. MT4 was showing the " Sunday " candle!
And as for the first I didn't see the " problem " as I was trading two accounts in the same time, but as I started to have some mistakes I did not know from where, only after one big mistake, I was looking closer to the charts, knowing that I did nothing wrong... but the differences between them made it big time...

Keep it up
Keep trading and learning or keep learning and trading!

I was just looking at some seasonal charts and noticed GBP/USD has a strong downward bias in August. Thought you all might be interested to see!
