I think long is good, as EU/GBP somewhat south bound........ one guy who trade correlations ..........was telling GBP/$ act strange in PA when EU/GBP above .90 but today eu/gbp moved down from .94 ........ so we can hope GBP/$ appreciate more than EU/$ upon the news relase. Warning I am a habitual looser so I can't trust myself

I just took a long position at 4504. See if this bottom will hold or not.

Hey EO - What type of stop would you put on your "bottom fishing" trade?

Well I was looking at other things and took the opposite. Short at 1.4501, took 1/2 off at +11 and rest is set to TP at 1h 62EMA and locked in. Might cap it early depending upon PA movement. You saw the bottom, I saw the MAs above rejecting price with large wicks. Looks like we were both right, now hopefully we can keep the green coming...

Even the sun shines on a dog's #r$e some days... BTW - You get your dog this weekend EO?

Next long for me is the h1 62ema. Should of jumped at 4555, but didn't want to be premature.

We did get the puppy this weekend. Once I get some pictures uploaded, I'll post one. She's full of energy!!

Banda - From the recent two posts, I'm almost getting the impression you're chasing the market. Have you looked at the pdf attached to post #1 of this thread for the methods in use? Honestly, I don't try to calculate how the cross pairs will cause each other to move, the markets will take care of that for me. I just focus on price action for GBP/USD and look for the proper setups and trade accordingly.

I hope the comments above aren't coming across as harsh (that's not my intent, just stating what I see based on the recent posts), but right now I'm looking at 1.443x for a long which is the 1hr 62EMA which is one of many setups we use here.

Hope this helps.

I don't think this is a harsh comment. Your right, we trade her a certain way. Without prediction, just PA and our ma's!

Well regardless bro, whether you collect green pips in bunches of 100+ or a few at time, they still look just as nice in your account..

Just hit my stop (might chase it a bit tight), but hey I'm about 85% of today's target and its not even lunchtime!

Thank you .You are correct. Chasing type thing is the reason I loose.That is why .... better to learn from others experience and mistakes rather than going thru all yourself
Thank you.

Buyers are coming into the market. Let's see how this 15m closes. Could be our signal for our longs!

Well 1.4445 seems to be forming a bit of support. But of course I'm not taking any action until either we hit the 1h 62EMA or this candle closes telling me otherwise..
