Well, you know how I roll bro! It moves both ways for me. So, do I see the overall for a position trade to be long, yes, I do at this point. The weekly candle I posted yesterday suggests it, the month chart suggests it. But we have a shitload of resistance to pound through. It's never as a crow flies..

Excellent trade bro!

I had longs at 4170 but I closed most of it at 4240 before going to bed and just had a small amount running that I closed a few minutes ago at 4550... I should have left more on it because this move was very very clear... but I'm not complaining at all...

I'm wondering if we have a major reversal in the works...

Thanks for the input EO.

Think i'll keep these longs on the table add some more tomorrow if it looks good and use my other account for the other side.

GBPUSD – Increasingly indecisive British Pound/US Dollar positioning has left our forex trading strategies effectively flat the GBP/USD. The ratio of long to short positions in the GBPUSD stands at 1.02 as nearly 51% of traders are long. Yesterday, the ratio was at 1.47 as 60% of open positions were long. In detail, long positions are 25.9% lower than yesterday and 16.0% stronger since last week. Short positions are 6.5% higher than yesterday and 28.4% stronger since last week. Open interest is 12.8% weaker than yesterday and 29.0% above its monthly average. The jump in short interest and a wave of profit taking on longs suggests that the GBP/USD may continue to rally through near-term trade.

Excellent trading yourself bro! The long from last night was within 30m of getting home and the short this morning I took was within 15m of getting to the office. Gotta love it when you trust the setups and ignore the noise.

We might get a nice pin on the h1. 5m to close. I'll be adding to my short position should we get it.

I sold at the hangman about 45 minutes prior to that one and got stopped at b/e. I'm not sure if that counted as a valid hangman? Unfortunately I missed the one just now, would have taken it otherwise.

Yeah, thats my problem EO...when it hit 4550 i was thinking i should sell it now but let me wait a few and see! Hesitation and indecision is killing me.

Now i have to wait and see if i can catch a bounce.

Your machine like attitude is what I am working on.

If it's the candle I'm looking at, then no, it was not a valid hangman. We want the prior candle to be a full body with small wick. The prior candle to what you thought was a hangman had an equal body to wick.
