EO, can I ask you why you prefer not to have the 5sma on your 1h? I don't use MT4 and my charting package doesn't allow for separate MAs on separate time frames, so I have the 5sma on my 1h and I have found it really good ini trending markets.

I don't use MT4 either. The ma is a nice ma, but I just don't use it. I have enough on my charts as it is..

I'm still waiting for an entry myself. Patience and we'll have it.

We are in the middle of down channel on 1H.
4580/90 would be a good entry for short:
- 50/62ma
- above 76.4 retracement
- close to the top of the channel.

But what do I know?

P. S. While I was typing, it moved again. Let's see, maybe some long scalp will be possible?

I took a short off the h1 50. I closed it way too early. Now I'm kicking myself.

Don't even ask why I closed it. I couldn't give a good answer.

I took short at 4580 instead 4615.
I closed it at 4530, but TP was set at 4501.

What do I need? A big foot to kick my ass.

Is this surge in dollar strength related to Geithner speaking? I can only imagine what he's saying, I don't have a tv near me to watch.

Something like, oh, that SDR stuff I said yesterday was just an April Fool's joke, haha, got you!
