Great job bro! I was always targeting 50 pips on my longs though because I still see a lot of selling pressure... I will be going for lunch myself shortly... I am considering a short at the m15 50ema if we get there later on....
Excellent bro! Let's see where price is at when we get back. I agree, it's a bearish day, but I couldn't of sold her at the price I went long at. Have a good lunch, we'll talk in about an h1.

Took a long position at 3781 playing off the prior PA on the 15m. We'll see if it holds or breaks.

Hey Eo,

Hope you had a good nights sleep.

Could you maybe post the chart (later on) of what you were talking about in the quote.
Just so i can try to understand the way you are looking at it. (Pictures say more then words. At least to me.

Just jumped in (1.3780) for a little ride back up when i saw the previous bottom (1.3741 - 13:20 GMT) was holding.
But also jumped back out (1.3815) when i saw it was the first time back up at the EMA21 on the 15Min.

Great Thread by the way!

Regards, Werner.

EO, relative Newbie here, just want to say thanks for the tips you post. I can only trade from this time onwards due to work and while I decide my own trades, not always successfully!,its always good when I see that your or Infinitys trades are the same direction! used to also take a lot of notice of what Steelhead posted too, (and Pipland) but he seems to have disappeared lately. Keep up the great trading

Outstanding! Absolutely, outstanding!! That's some great trading bro!!

I know some think we're nuts for some of the trades we take, but there is a reason and purpose behind them. I've closed out the rest of my longs. I'll get another ride when I get back from lunch.
Thanks bro! Great work yourself! Talk to after lunch...

Welcome to the thread! Hope you find valuable information here. Pipland is still around, he hangs out in the cable thread, and unfortunatley, Steelhead has been banned from the forum.

It is a shame about Steelhead! He might have been a little brash about his approach, but he was a good trader. Sometimes, people need to be brash to get others to open their eyes. I wish him the best! I'm sure he's making positive pippage and that's what matters.

Welcome to the thread! We're working on some items that will be very helpful for you and others as well. One will be released in the near future. Mind you, this is intraday trading actively. So, please, put on your seatbelt and hang on.

Question on your 1.3818 short.. Was that because the touch off the 35 sma and the next candle didn't break the high of that candle.. So going down.. ???

Here's a chart showing the driver for my longs earlier. Notice the candles circled in green. Until the first candle get's taken out, meaning a close below the wick, this is the driver for long positions. Now, I wouldn't run out and take a long position right now. End of day is here, all the ma's are coming tight, we have London news due out in 3h. If you do fancy a long, the SL is 25 past the bottom wick of the first candle circled. Again, I'm not recommending a long at this time, but this was the driver for my long position earlier.

Thanks for the chart,, I saw that one, but thought the wick was a bit short for the body, all though the flat bottom on the previous candle should have given me some more confirmation.. I will get there sooner or later..

Price action is what iI have only studied for the last 2 yrs, But not at this level. I have had 80 90% positive call rate but those other 10 and 20 kick my butt. I thinking with your Input might finally be the final piece in the puzzle.. like to trade and don't like waiting hours for a single trade when I KNOW there are good trades to be had with the right mentality..

Again Thanks For all the effort. Ken Lee
