Looks like a hanging man on the h1... I took some more profit on my longs at 30 again and still covered..
H4 closed as an inside bar and above the 5sma so that could mean continuation of uptrend...

Sure does! I lost internet at home, had to run to the office and grab my air card.

I'm taking profit on my long position and covering as well.

I keep my usb wireless modem in my laptop case, it comes in very handy when on the road...

What do you make of the h4..?

i downloaded it thanks and its great! i had a question. do you only play the bounces off the MAs? and what do you do when the candle breaks through the MAs? ie.(right now) 15m timeframe the candles arent really bouncing of but going straight through the MAs. where would u wait for a setup in this situation?!


thanks to your system, 1hr/62 i caught that bounce and rode it for +100pips! sucks it was in demo! lol

I don't only play the bounces. I play the candle patterns. Within the last 2 hours there was 1 candle pattern and another prior price action. The candle pattern was the long at 4705 and the prior price action was the short from 4735. Refer to your higher timeframes and notice what price is doing there. We just had a hangman close on the h1 which is a pattern for some more downward pressure. We have the prior pin on the h1 as well, but the h4 did close inside and indecisive. I can't tell you which trades to take, just the setups that are there.

Indecisive on the last h4 in my eyes. She did close inside, but she did not take out the prior pin we had during the US Session. Close, but she didn't close over top of her and didn't take out the SL on it. She just finally took out the SL on the hangman from before the US Session opened in my eyes. I would say we're in for some more range trading, but she'll break one way or another. I'm surprised we didn't get a push on the high again.

If price was to keep falling what targets would you be looking at to take profit, since the MA's are above on the 15M??? :nerd:

Would you just look to the 1hr 50/62 or are you looking at support points?

Yeah..... indecision all round... we'll probably be bouncing between 4700 and 4730 for a while...

Will probably check back London session...
