Ready to make some pippage today? Just sat down, went long at 4329, playing off of PA candle on the 15m and price between the 10ema/21ema on the 15m. If anyone wants to see the candle I'm referring to, please let me know and I'll post a chart. Remember how yesterday I said prior PA candles are always in play? This is a prime example.
Moving my SL to +3 on this trade now. I don't want a whiplash effect.

I'm waiting now for a touch or cross of the 15m 50ema.

Should we get a a nice hammer on the current 15, I'll be going long on the next candle. Appears that the 21 ema is holding up atm.

For those who traded with me yesterday, it appears that 4150 was strong support. Sent her flying. If anyone held their longs open with SL below 4150, I applaud you!

I am off to an appointment....looking forward to reading your posts later ...

Question: do you still consider it an uptrend as the 5 and 10 begin to curve more towards the 3 on the clock...as now ????

Shows weaking of the uptrend and sellers coming into the market. The 50ema/35sma are just starting to rise, we need those to go higher for further support of the uptrend. The 5/10 move first always.

Yeah, I think I've been hogging the CABLE thread, so might as well try and post what I see and my entries. Since my style is different, as most styles are different, I don't want to interfer with others decisions on positions. This is how I trade, and this is my thread, so I can do as I will here. Of course, I always welcome comments from visitors. I'm not of a belief that my trade is the best. If I believe my way is the only way, then I might as well pack my bags and go work at McDonald's.

Just don't go after them with a vengance. Take your setups and don't try and force the market. Remember, our lot sizes do not compare with that of countries and major banks. We're just catching rides.

Miller Lite it is bro! The first 3 pips were just a warm up. I'm kicking myself for not taking the touch of the 15m 21ema, but as you and I know, a new seat is always around the corner.

Once I find mine, I'll post it with a chart and why.
