What I know to be true. EU is north of 1.0343 (1.0403), the Gu north of 1.2406 (-1.2494) between those 2, 2450.

Right! I might try a short at 1.2499 with tight stop. Long at 1.24 level too. If it gets there

Maybe a 40 pipish move off 2455.7 to 2413x GBP. Not so much if it sustains above 2449.. MOFU trade.

That's the fibs.. 2406 2494.. That actual move has 2455.7 and 2413..2497.7 if it broke North. They are not so far from each other. Below 2406 closing may be bears taking it back. Bulls North of 2406 2455x and 2497.

I was looking at it like this, a slight gap to fill at 1.2499, the pattern and candle to the left and this all happening near a key Psychological level.

{quote} I dont have a clue if it would fall back to 96.80.. But if it did, it may be drawn to a 40 pip rise. The support at 96.76 may go untouched. The gap is in that direction within adr. About 150 pips to the gap. It may be worth the admission. {image}
getting close now AJ

{quote} I should of been more aware. I would had put one close to 96.77.. I could still, but it's probably too late. It already went to 96.83.9... Just for fun i will put one at 96.80. AJ

It's so tricky there's another interesting place a little above too. Middle is always tricky.

yeah 2450 is one.. more extreme 2455.7. I try to trade the edge. Where it can go either way.

I looks sustained.
The eu looks sustained too.
Those upper orange lines may start to support some. But the attraction is below them. I think it will come back later.

It did come back. The danger in trading the middle is pa is too close. Its generally better when price is 40+ pips away. Today is a big FOMC day, plus its close to the end of the month. My trading style is not built for much slippage. The slippage last night was less than 10 pips.

I have GU with possible a large support at 2406.. There can be slip. The 12h may stop it from hitting -2400.2. The Eu may find some above 1.0372. Its FOMC and rate vkvdkvndvkndf. Today can whipsaw my tight stops. I can't play the reindeer games today.. If i do, it may be with 2 pip tolerances. I shouldn't post those.

I wasn't kidding about the edge. I'm not trading 10 scenarios to have a wider stop. Its supports or it dont.

The GU made a LL on the 12h.. So I'm out. No emotion. Its not the trade I wanted. I was wrong about it supporting, and bouncing.
If it comes back, and does bounce. I will be annoyed. There is no avoiding that. But at 10 pips below. It more than triples my risk. It diminishes the reward multiplier. If it drops 20 more? or 30 more? The solution is to be out before. You have to admit to yourself it was wrong.
