cable taking a bounce off Daily S1/Yesterdays High area now acting as support. Nice hidden/reverse divergence based 5min set-up.

Is uptrend good or will we see a range/reversal short from a lower high on this t/f?

Nice profits there fellow intraday momentum players, and yes I slept through my alarm but it's definately the way to do it.

Maybe it's good sell point before US news, if that news will be better than expected.

Errrr whats going on, well everytime you trust a candle formation and trade it you lose money, faily easy.


The market is just chopping around, reacting to news, news came in okay on forecaste so gbp goes up, going short on something that is going up, and trying to pick a top = losses, as simple as that.

Inverted hammer and hangling man on 1H chart after long bullish candle indicates reversal. Doesn't always work I agree but probability is good.

Nav, where was your stop? If your stop was 10 above the wick, you would still be going, ole buddy.

to be honest the candle formation on chart at vital area is the edge in trading if u ask me...i just dont trust them right now as there was a reluctance to go up and then all of a sudden shot up..the candle pattern actually backed the move up, just that i hestitated cause of risk:reward

no way any1 knew it would shot up like it did ..candle stick patterns are the way to trade and are a leading indicator of price action ...but better indicator is there? and as u know already i dont use much less and actuallyapart from exiting winnig trades early ..im doing great....

Technically did work, but you can't trade off a 1hour chart and use a 14pip stop, stop shoulda been over the bullish hours high 1.9865+ or the high 1.9890 area.

M30 same setup, woulda got U short @1.9850, 1.9890 stop
M15, Short 1.6865 same stop, notice it's getting less of a stop and a better every price. ( had a fake out though earlier on )

M5's is to fast for candle pattern trading.

and back to M1, thats better

Back to 1,9690 or even to 1,9650.
What do you think about that channel?
