Price tends to follow the area of least resistence, like water. Not aways but often enough to give you a little bit of an edge.

How nice was this short DIBS signal on the Gbp/Usd. I wonder where it might stall or bounce up.

That is a valid Inside Bar but you have to play it off the Open of the day, 0600 GMT.

Let me make sure I got this right ...Is the candle with the green arrow below the 6 gmt candle....and if this is the candle would that mean that any insidebar should be taken only long as long as price is above the horizontal line...let me know if this is correct thanks...

Your 1st IB was good, but you would have to wait until the Open of the Day to trade it. Even though the next bar broke the top, you would not play this because its not at the Open of the Day. It was at 0300 GMT, so it a no trade.

The blue circle (an IB on my chart) was at 0500 GMT but was played at 0600 GMT, Open of the day.

Take a look at my green arrow jarro...if you look at it the low of the candle (wick) is lower then the previous candle. Does this eliminate it as an inside bar or you foucusing on the body of the inside bar.

Yes it is (give or take a pip). Have some S/R level below.

You look at the entire candle formation, body and wick. It's an IB on my chart. Looking at past candles I feel a pip or two does not make that much of a difference. Just blame bad demo data feed.

It's at the bottom of the channel, and coming down to a good support in form of s/r area, weekly s1, daily s2, and fib 61.8% of the move up from 14/May to 15/July

So I would be a little carefull with this short. The stoploss is 19+2+3 (IB size + breakout 1pip up and down + spread) = 24 which would mean that price would be in that support area so I'm looking for an earlier BE point. I'm playing it with half my normal position size and closing 2/3 at 2:1, which means I'll close 2/3 of my position at 1.9670 with entry at 1.9682 and sl at 1.9706 (which includes the spread).

Nice NAL.
My thoughts exactly. I may take it, but no taking extra pips from the free trade placement. Grab it quick.
