Nice trading bro! My remaining longs were closed out for +25. Had my SL too tight by 5 pips. As I type this, my 3rd TP was just hit.
EO....Which two MA's do you talk about crossing that signals a reversal?

It's not so much of the crossing of the any particular ma's. It's the fact of them crossing in general. Once they all start crossing over each other, the trend has already shifted. Remember, ma's move because of price, not the other way around.

On another note, did you keep your remaining long position open for the 3rd TP? I just grabed 15 from 4075 to 4090.

I'll add to mine should we work up the wick of the last 15m close.

Your right! We did just have strong h4 close. I'm not used to looking at the h4 at this time. It's an hour earlier than normal. I was seeing 415x as a possiblity, so 417x makes sense as well. Good price you got in short at!

Thanks bro! I was thinking 417x because of the h1 50sma and 62ema.... It's definitely possible if we get out of the channel...

Rest closed at +3. I'll take another short, but I can still see this moving upto the 415x area and even the 417x now that I see the 1h 50/62 sitting there. Our 15m closed on top of the 15m 5ema.
