We tested the broken tl and failed just now.. so we could head down further... H1 close is going to be crucial... but even more so is the h4 close in the next 2 hrs

My longs are based off the h4 time frame.
EO, I also took a long based on 4H. Came back from lunch - and it's gone down the tubes. But it's history.

Question. Why did not you take short at 13:30 from 4570?
It looked like one of your setups on 15M: MAs are pointed "4pm" and GU down off 10ma?
Thanks

Thanks!! maybe hitting the 50.0% fib at 4215 will be asking to much.

I took my position on the prior pa on the 15m and how the h4 closed (Inverted hangman). Remember what I've said in the past about inverted hangmen, they require a wider SL than a hangman on the top. I did get in premature which is why I didn't through all the soldiers on the field at once. I added once I came back, closed out for profit and back on the long team again with a lower price of 4520.

Maybe I missed this warning about wider SL.
Could you please remind me?

Actually, my SL was 50. According to you yours' was around 75. Right?

Never mind, I've got it.
