Morning Eo

I hope you had a good night out last night.

On the 15M chart one has to wait for the candle to finish above or below the 10EMA to make a decision is this correct, I spent yesterday reading all the pages of the thread again and I am a bit confused as the strategy is on multiple pages.

Thanks

Was it the 1H pin bar, and the 15min pin bars? Was looking to place an order just below the s/r line and daily pivot (about 1.3793), but it moved so quick I didn't get the chance.

Yes, also notice that the 2nd 15m pin just before the 1hr close high and low were lower than the previous one. Just opened short on open the next candle, also NY was coming on so more trades in the market.

didn't even get a chance to lock in +1 before I got my tp hit, still nice 50pips

Good morning everyone! We've had a very active morning and I hope most of you got some pippage out of the move. I got mine and now looking for another ride.

Good morning everyone.

EO, just one quick question. Do you ever sleep?
No, not really! I run on about 3-4hrs of sleep per day. Old habits are hard to break.

I hear that!

I got to the party late. Shorted at 3800. Cashed in at 3740. Time to do it again, me thinks.

Look at the 15m. Do you see a h&s with a neckline of about 3720?

Possible is shampoo forming here. We need the right shoulder at 3800 to complete and then back down. I'll be looking for an entry there myself. We have the 15m 35/50 sitting at 3810.

Looks to me that we've already formed a right shoulder. Guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
