Took my 20 off of the cross and close over the 15m 35/50.. Now, let's see how the h4 closes out.

I do like that setup, it's about 85% successful and so controlled on risk.

Exactly! But I have a bigger question, does he know why he took it? I know why I took my trade.

Fair enough reasons!

Here's why I took mine. Played the 15m 35/50 cross and close and go against the grain, 35pip SL. We had prior 15m PA. We had prior h1 PA, and the h1 62ema.

Good job on your trade again!

did you take it because it very often will reverse when going across those ma's?

Your 5 pips better. I'm at 3800. Agree, we might be early, but once price gets above 3845, we'll be free.

It's a common setup for me. I took it last night and now today, both times, positive pips.

I'm out at +13 on this one. I have to run to lunch. Long wicks on the 15m, don't forget the prior h1 PA as well, we want a better buying price than this.

If the m15 closes bearish ...I might close out and wait for a better price... We could go a good way down the wick...

I agree, a very strong statement. I'm out though, I'll find a seat when I get back from lunch. Be nice to see price come into the wick for some buying opportunity for myself, but I might have messed up by closing out. But, green pips are green pips.
