evening all, just got back from day in London, took a long at 4690 on push through ma's, but came out with 11 pips instead of locking as I've not done this move before and was a bit nervous, but it looks like it can work a treat. Sorry eo for not having complete faith in one of the setups for this style, just anted to test it first, anyway I'm happy with the 11.

Does anyone want to see chart of what i did or is everyone ok with it?

I took 30 pips off it. This is only the 3rd one of these that I have tried.

They work out nice usually. The one you just took was ideal. Notice how the candle that closed through the 15m 35/50 was long, full with a small wick? Yummy!!! Reverse order, SL of 35. I played it myself as well, then jumped back on my short band wagon at 4735.

It is a nice setup for snatching a few pips though, I like it. And I know it is around an 80% trade so I will have much more confidence in it now I have used it.

cheers

It can sometimes be more than just a few pips. I grabbed 40 off myself in 15m. Talk about quick payment!

How did you do that? it was off the prior PA i think, but it amazes me how you can get in within a pip or 2 of the top

I'm a machine usually bro! I was close to the top, top price of my short was at 4738, so I missed it by a couple. My long back across the ma's missed it by about 2 pips as well.

I just don't think about it any more. It's just natural and happens without thought or hesitation.

Nice reversal, I have a short in EJ off the 10ema pointing at 5 oclock with 30 pips in the bag and +5 on the rest. Puts me over 400 pips since Asian open last night.

Talk about a machine! Your the mega maching bro! Your always beating my prices by about 2 -4 pips.

Did you go long on the opening of the h1 or holding out for the h4 to finish up?

I have 4705 for my TP on my shorts. Looks like a good place to jump back long with the way the h1 shaped up. Price drift down the wick. Hell yeah!!

The h4 is looking bearish though... if it closes in this area or lower... we could be heading down to 4650 or even 45xx again...
