Here's my 4h chart to support the trade off the 15m 50ema. Notice the red trendline? We spiked above it, the last 4h candle was bearish and came back under it, this current 4h candle, which is 45 min old on my chart, is headed back. As well, we have the 5sma, red ma, which conincides with the trade. Two ways to take the trade, 1 is a pending short at the price .of the 15m 50ema, or two, wait for the candles to close. I like it when the candle actually goes through it, closes with a little wick and go back against the grain of where she came. Classic setup of mine. SL is around 35pips for this. If she doesn't clear the 15m 50ema when you go against the grain, cover your position right away, or go back with the grain with SL around the 15m 21

Thanks brother! I asked my mom last weekend if she had a jamacian son that she never told me about, she paused and then changed the conversation. I think there may be something there.

Yes, I am, I'll post a chart on the 4h which will also support the trade. The trade off the 15m 50ema is one of mine and Infinity's favorite trades.

This question is to EO and Infinity (And whoever else wants to answer)

I don't use ema's much myself, but do you think the "first time back" after breaking through the ema . . . has more strength to it than the subsequent kisses. ?

Also, do you enter on the kiss or wait for PA ?
Depends on what the market is doing. PA is always the answer, but if we are in a trending market, not ranging, then I don't have a problem taking a position off of a kiss of the 15m 50ema, especially if she hasn't touched it in a while. I weigh the value of my ma's, some I will do this for, others I will not. For example, say we've been ranging tight, she finally breaks and I missed the trade, once she confirms the break, I'll take a position off the 15m 5 price set with a PO adjusting it and watching PA to not get bit in the ass selling the bottom or buying the top.

Why (If you dont mind me asking) ? I can't see anything in favour of longs, apart from that 1HR that I didn't like the close of . . . .

i think at the very least it will hit the test the top..i entered a bad trade, it appears i under estimated the support..the 1hr chart produced a bullish engulfing formation so im in trouble here

in the next hour it likely push cable up and bearish dailly probably go out of the window

price is well supported, Without the FOMC news I doubt cable would have even blinked at the last trendline, check out the 4hr candle developing too.

Im locked and loaded ready to ride the rocket!

Hmm, I don't see getting over 4330 before heading south again. Perhaps its just me.
