i sold at 4669 as the 15m candle closed with essentially a flat top and just through the 35ema and well through the 50ema (not sure which order the emas have to be in honestly). I took half off at 4653 (5sma) and rest closed at b/e

All - Don't forget GBP CPI is due out in about 40 minutes and inflation report hearings start in an hour.

Morning, folks
Took a small long at 15M pin. Didn't like it, closed +10.
Anybody is looking for short atm?
15M - 35/50 cross and reverse?

I've found that some of the techniques discussed on here work on high timeframes, and on a day like today where it's been relatively quiet and choppy, looking at the half hourly and the hourly can give clues as to where the market is going.

The pin bars are obvious, the tweezer top was good for some pips, and gave an indication that the bull movement was over.

As an aside, for anyone that wants to read a bit more about tweezer top/bottoms, take a look at the james16 price action thread. He refers to them as dhblc (double high bar lower close) and dlbhc (double low bar higher close).

Good morning everyone!

I hope everyone has had a good session so far. Here's my update. Yesterday, after I placed my short order, I lost internet connection. I waited about an 1h and it never returned, my longs were still running, but my short was getting shittier. So, I called my broker to close my short for a loss. I never received internet connection until this morning. Upon getting up with my son, I entered a short position at 4745, I've taken some profit and covered the rest.

Moral of the story, if you don't have your broker on speed dial, do it now!

Now, let's make some money.
Just digging in the trenches like everyone else!

Morning EO. Can you give us a quick run down on the reasons for going short at 4745?

Thanks

Right now we've had a retest of yesterday's highs. If she goes back up and closes above the 15m neckline I'm thinking long.
