Now, seeing that chart just make me say if we get a monthly close below 3500, then we're headed down for another few thousand pips.
looks scary to me!!! glad i day trade only trying to catch a small wave "here" and "there" but nevertheless always good to see the bigger picture...

Candle has to close before we can start trading off of it. Remember, the h4 candle is comprised of the smaller time frame candles. For example, it takes 4 h1 candles to make an h4 candle. Some believe it's the other way around, but I think their putting the horse in front of the cart that way. So, for those who don't like how we will go against the overall trend, now you can understand why we are willing to do it. PA will always lead the way and the upper time frames are comprised of the smaller ones.

shows that this pair has only gone sideways over that last 30 years, key now is to recognise when we have reached an extreme and trade a huge snap back,

15min for the singles is great thou, im finding the price action in cable very good for scalping, going to try and build up trading size slowly but surely...

nice trade there bro
Thanks...

Same areas I'm looking at as well. I'll be building my position on that trade. Not all the rockets will go in the first order. We still have the prior h4 down to 3657 to play off of as well.

Same here bro! I want my pips and I want them now. I don't want to sit on a trade upside down for time upon no end before I get into positive pippage. This is why we trade like we do intraday. Get in, get green, get out, and repeat.

We're talking about the same pair. If you look at your h4 chart, you will see a wick of a candle down toe 3657. Not today, it was yesterday.

Yes, I noticed it.
I put Fibs from 0 - 3657 to 100 - 3923, and 3758 would be a nice 38.2 retracement.
Let's wait, another 10 min to go.
