I was up +35 and let it take me out at +13 before it went back down to the entry area. On the weekend I'll start looking at the higher time frames. I know there's always going to be an obstacle on some time frame but sometimes I just look at what's happened recently like the initial break out there, it had no problems getting through the 1616 area so I might be able to assume it will have no problems with that 15minutes later for the purposes of that scalp. But that's just the lack of sleep rambling. I guess I've been on a roll tonight with the...
It's all good.

You're right there's nothing wrong with it for scalping, but for longer TFs 616 has been strong so price couldn't close the 1h candle much above it and now it's dropped another 40pips.

GBPUSD pending a breakout from the trendlines? 1.4240 - 1.4200 and 1.4350 look like key areas after that happens. I would wait for a break to the downside and a retest of 1.4240 - 1.4200 for an opportunity to short or a break to the upside and a retest of 1.4350 for a long. What do you think?

Hey, I was watching Sam Seiden's videos and it seems to me like he is sometimes using swing highs/lows as supply/demand levels. Meaning he doesn't always look for at least two bounces to consider it a supply/demand level. Am I right?

I don't always look for 2 bounces a swing highs/lows work for me.

Cool! I did not know that. Thanks. So you think 1.4410 is good on GBPUSD? It made a strong bounce last time.

In case BRV looks in, make sure you've seen all his videos too.

Hey guys - I'm signing off for an early bath so you can talk about me now!!

Before I go though I just wanted to say thanks for all the help, advice and tips you've given me this week. I'm going to be studying videos and .pdf files all weekend so, with a bit of luck and some hard work, I might be a bit closer to finding that switch come Monday.

See you all then.

Have a good weekend.

Help me understand why you chose short. Is it because it tried that 1.4345 level and failed again?

I'm clearing off for a sleep too as I was up at 5-30am.

No, it's about 1.4410 (look at the H1 chart where that big bearish candle is sticking out). Price has been rejected hard at 1.4410, so there's a big chance that will happen again.

14420 is a 61.8 Fib - the yellow dotted line on my chart that's why sellers came in at 14410.

Bye.

Yup, and there is also a 50% fib at 1.4437 (drawn from a daily chart), which brings us a range of 1.44 - 1.4437 where a good reaction is likely to take place.
