cheers EO. I like to buy/sell at the 1h 5sma often. I'm not sure if you scale down to the 5m chart (the lowest I go, though usually 15m), but I've found that if the 1h 5sma and 5m 50ema are around the same level, it acts as really good resistance/support usually.

I don't look at the 5m. It looks too much like an EKG reading to me. Your right though about the ma's on different time frames lining up with one aother for good support/resistance.

I do have that in mind! Really kinda eyeballing the 50sma on the h1 though. It falls in the line with the 15m 50ema and some prior PA on the 15m. Need to get there first. She's starting to stall.

Goodmorning EO,
Shouldn't we be looking to go long?. On the 1H, there is a doji and two candles have hit the 200SMA.

Appreciate your thoughts...

Yeah! Longs off the h1 are in play. I've played it now twice myself. She's stalling between the 15m 21/10 atm though. Becareful buying at this price.

I took the 1 hr 62 ema bounce at 4 this morning for 30 pips and rode the short off of the long pin bar on the 15m for almost 100. It was good to get up early this morning.

Thanks EO. I didn't know anything about the 62 ema trade until a few weeks ago but because of you I have put several pips in my pocket. Thanks again and if you are ever in N. Fl. I'll definitely buy you a drink or 10.

Morning ...

I'm also watching these lines on the h1... I went long off 3970 because of the trendline earlier and was looking for the 62ema but I closed that trade for 35 pips... I think if we break that line the next area will be possibly 3850ish... though 3900 should be tough as well...

Here's another scenario I'm looking at ....

If this current h4 candle closes above the 50ema... I'll be buying again...

I'm going on the road now so I have no trades open... I'll be back in a few...
Good luck to all...
