4 Hour Strategy (MACD)

Looks like cable decided to go long afterall (thanks MACD)

results of trade:

Lot #1 -- closed instead of moving to BE at 7:35 GMT @ 1.9382 (thought BE would be hit and still was uncomfortable w/stop level. TC present on hourlies and support continued upmove (provided PPI is > .8). Result: +6 (11 w/ spread)

Lot #2 -- closed at 7:34 GMT @ 1.9393 Result: 46 pips (51 w/spread)

Now that I have time to think about it, I could have closed lot #1 for 16 pips and moved S/L on Lot #2 to BE + 10 (1.9352).

Total Pips banked = 52 (62 w/spread) Avg. pips = 26 pips

Monthly total: 2 Trades

1 = BE
1 = 52 pips

Yup, Hipster, you and I all have the same idea....let's make some pips!

Now, I must follow Palmer's lead and go get the food off the grill....

Well, staying in was worth it. 1mini at b.e. and 1mini at +20pips. I hope both of you did well. Pips4, you were right about the 1.9400 area. Price was rejected at 1.9395.

Update: just saw your post Pips, nice job...congrats!

hi fx,
I got in at 3130 short, will add as it goes up, and it may go up to the trendline or 89 ma, so my sl is above there at 65. Lets see what happens
keep an eye on the 1 hour, looks like RB may actually be RB (just my 2 cents). But your SL is well thought out. Wish you lots of pips!

Well, staying in paid off for me. 1mini at b.e. and 1mini at +20pips. I hope both of you did well. Pips4, you were right about the 1.9400 area. Price was rejected at 1.9395.
Nice Job! Think price may still go up past 1.9400 but I wasn't willing to risk it

took a 35 pip hit on that trade, thats what I get for not waiting for good confirmation on 4hr. I will now wait and see if there is a zero bounce or if it continues on up, its looking pretty comfortable up there so it might just keep on going...
Never say never.

Pair took scenario #2, post #2232, with R/B & help from GBP news at 4:30. Up 24 pips, took TP1 at 89, let .1 ride & should go all the way to the outer T/L where I will look for a R/T signal. Pulled stop to B/E. Nce way to start a week.

Well , pair is finding res. at 3180. Gonna pull out and save the extra pips, looks like it is gonna turn at that level. Got a spinning top and may be the start of a RT on the 1 hr.

This pair is starting to form lower highs and lower lows on the 1 & 5 minute, also RT forming on the 1 hour. This pair is going short, lets wait for Phil signal and see if I am right. Pair is sitting on 21 EMA right now.

Does anyone know why Philip trades only the evening candles, is it because of his timezone or did he find those worked best or was there another reason? Thanks very much to anyone who knows...

I got in on this downtrend on the close of my brokers candle with MIG data supporting.

Previous candle touched the 89, which was inevitable after it was in a downtrend and blew through the 21 ema at the end of last week, which to me means trend over.... going to 89. Which it did. The MACD then turned at the close of that candle on my broker and since the MIG data ended 1 hour before I was able to use that, and the MACD confirmed there also. It then proceeded to go through the price level barrier, past the 8 ema and come close to the 21 ema.. before slowing at the price level... of course I had my last lot limit set above the price level to get taken out .

Entry: 155.22
S/L: 155.60 Relatively high because of tail... but enough to clear 155.50 price level.
1st TP: 155.08 for 14 pips but banking on it continuing to the 21ema for good R:R
2nd TP: 154.60 for 62 pips...

Got both TP's and it is now pulling back.

Summary 2 lots total of 76 pips = 38 pips.

This followed each rule... take a look.
DireXiv Make it happen, no one else is going to do it for you...
