{quote} closing this again at 1.1347. Will wait, I see both longs and shorts working maybe a range, Want to see if we can get 1.137
Closing more EUR/USD longs here. will only get long again above 1.14
Still a bit net long wit stops below 1.13 but inclined to think shorts may also work.

{quote} That candle reaching 1325 probably sucked all the liquid in the pool. Leaving a shot for 1300-1278 area. There is a likely pool there too. If it can cross maybe 1275.. it could suck it up. So we may not be able to get back to 1372. {image}
After 1392-96 held I thought it was going to blow the bottom. It did up to the point it crossed back above 1335. leaving a chance at 1372 again. The R is still good above for now. 1372 is lc. it has came close. I dont know if it can. 1335 is also still an active b/o point. 1389 too, but it has the 1392/96 R backing it. The tl hit 1316 hit and we are here now.
Ranging in the b/o points

birds eye. 1372 lc often has a good shot. it went back to 1370. 22 pips above 1350 is 1372. it may be too far.
I wanted to see if it went there and hang a short up toward 1389. But it may just not be able to get there. My other shorts got stopped on the break back above 35.

I placed a pending short at 1372. I left a tight stop. I dont know if it will/can reach. If it does it may be near the high. It may just be a wick to 1372.

1.135 already R. will be hard to get to 1.137 but anything is posible.
I think there is a higher chance now to trade below 1.13 today

It would of been hard to short 1360. with 1372 there. Plus being asleep. But it's a go to plan to short 60. S/l 75. B.E. after pa crossed 50.

It's hard to discount 1372. Even at 1300 area. It can come back. That's why I didnt take the 1360 area window. Shame on me

imo bulls are trying to hard, we may get spikes but once we take 1.13 they will lose conviction
1137 1136 would be good places to short.
I will leave some just in case and get net short if they take them but once fuel is gone everybody will sell bulls and bears.

above 1138 I am wrong

You can switch on/off and change colors of the grid. If your goal is to create a finer grid or use different spacing… MT4 doesn’t allow that kind of customization directly, but there are custom indicators that simulate grids with advanced settings (like horizontal/vertical lines at the price levels or time intervals you choose).

It may have not made sense at the time. This is what I meant. It still has 55 min. I was not sure it could stretch far enough past 1350. If it did. It may not go much past 1372. It may hit liquid there. I wasn't sure it could hit 1372. Even if its a common retrace
