Thanks. Do you play the H1 MA's. Like this bounce on an uptrending H1 20sma?
The only bounces I play on the h1 are the 50/62. Last year, the 62ema was the winner, this year it appears that the 50 is the winner of bounces on the h1 for me.

Please, lets not start posting MA'S that are not what EO uses, as i 'm sure it will lead to confusion!

thanks

Did anyone play the bounce off the 1hour 62 last night? I got in at 3912 and set a tp at 4150 before I went to bed. Worked out great!

Sorry mate, you misunderstood me. It was a question and not a recommendation.

I was looking at it last night but I find the asian session uncomfortable to trade and have had bad luck in the past. A shame really. EO do you find that much of your technique still works then?

Looks like possible hanging man on the 15m. Will have to see how it closes.

It does! It works most of the time I find. You have to be aware of the lower volume times though and get in and get out. That time during the Asian session and 2hrs later I'm looking for another setup. She usually shifts then.

I had a SL. I set it and forgot about it. It was a trade during my family time still, so I have to take my trades quick, set SL and TP and get out. Otherwise, the wife gets upset that I'm not engaged with the family. She's right you know. We need time away from these charts to focus on other items in life.

I am sorry, I forgot. You mentioned it time ago. It's your common SL for any setup, right?
