If we test 1.9700 again and can't break it, I think your right!
we it breaks the s1 level then im wrong and target likely will be 1.96...looking at the weekly this coiuld actually tank...as the bullish candle b4 went right to the top of the channel..

yes like i said conflicted signal .......moving down cause of the diverence bearish on 15 minute chart...

Becareful, I just closed my shorts from 1.9758 and 1.9722. We could see it whiplash upwards...like it's doing as I type this
ugh! I hate it when I close out too early! Only thing I did right was follow my original plan

I agree it was a conflicting signal, thus why I closed early!

if theres one thing that i could advise from my exp with cable, is not to trade based on candle forms esp from the hourly. (Im not saying pins dont work, but they do fail very often too, nevertheless these are still oppurtunities)

Its waveforms are usually quite predictable and of course cable's streching points are usually good indicators too. IMO it would be the easiest pair to trade.

one of those moments where it could go up......this is why when u see a bullish pin it needs confirmation everything else was saying down....

i wanted to short but i thought might be going up....missed the boat...

Protect the profit!
Maybe I am right she will go more down to at least 1.9600, but because I should go for offline business I closed my shor with 65 pips ---> a bit less 3.5% profit. Happy trading all. See 6 hours next !
I only trade XAU/USD. Based on USD news & Fib SR & BB20

hi navin,

allow me to point out something.
Theres no boat. you din miss anything. Would it be fair to say that your were confused?

You allowed the pin to cloud your perceptions, thus there was an anticipating streak which was second guessing the possibility of cable going up. Dun be too worked up over it buddy, you din miss anything. If you were truly confused, (exampled from your quoted message) staying out would have been the best trade you made.

I think if it break 1.9675 next level is 1.9620

Great observation, I like to call them "triangle waves" - the price goes up and comes down - forming a triangular shape, and to add-on to this, g/u adheres and moves from/to trend lines and S&R levels quite strictly too for its volatility. Right now, it's resting on the weekly pivot 1.9667.
Trade the reaction, not the news!

yeah ....actually im not affected by missing the move.....but have reluctance for shorting despite being in longer term downtrend...i cant see the long going anywhere so if i buy im looking for a great low...and good signal (candle formation)
