Didn't find my seat on that one....on the sidelines for now...many green PIPS to all
I'm looking for my first tp at 4235, then 4200. I might get stopped out though, I'm moving to +3 once the 15m candle closes.

Would that last 15m candle not have been good signal for long with flat bottom no wick against the 10ma?

By the way great thread
please DON'T copy my trades I am still learning

What's up bro! You pointed out a key fact that everyone needs to pay attention to. It's end of month and end of the week. Anything can happen today, we need good clean setups and nothing less.
It sure did, nice ride long for those who took it.....

I caught some long and short...done for the week(might demo though), it's getting messy out there.

Time to party.....

HOLLA

As I'm back, yes, it would have been. I was pulled away on a conference call at the office. If you took it, good job.

4400 will have some huge resistance. You can see it on your 4h charts.

Taking partial profit now at 4345. The 15m cande is not shaping up favorably for my long.

Glad I did! Remaining position closed at +3. Watch 4325-4300 for a new entry long. Our 15m 5/10ema are there. A short here could be justified, but the 15m didn't give us a pin for the short.

Had a few scalps this morning, trying to get in a position to hold, got stopped out on the fall past 14150, for a loss didn't take the following doji candle about 1.30 uk (5hrs ago) for the long..Over cautious again. Its even annoying the wife...and been in and out all day so not studied the charts enough hence sidelined for the up move.. and back to work next week.. frustration..

Enjoying your commentary tho EO, It helps in realtime to understand. thanks.

As for the ressistance at 4400, I have a line on my chart at 4400 to a low back in December, not sure why I put it there tho..?
