Nice trade bro! I didn't get the short, but I got the long when you closed out.

Have a great weekend bro! We'll fire it back up next week!

Would anyone have any idea why ,Infinity was looking for a short on the close of the candle, but happens to not take the trade , and gets his entry 11 pips higher than the close?

Hi guys. I've noticed that the last 3 15m candles had lower highs and couldn't break the 21. I'm thinking of a short here. Thoughts?

I do, he was waiting for the 2nd candle to close, tweezers, took a short near the opening of the 2nd candle. Notice how price crept back up towards the opening price of the 2nd candle then got rejected.

I keep seeing that as well cisco! Might not be a bad trade, but she keeps coming off the bottom with fire as well.

Well, we immediately have yesterday's highs to fight overhead. Plus, we've got the 15m 35 in the neighborhood. I think I'll see how this 15m candles plays out first.

I hope I answered the question about your trade correct. That's how I would have played the tweezers.

It was a good long, got the rest of my position closed out, jumped back on at 60 for another 20. Back on the sides.
