I'm going to get some shut eye now... I may not even wake up for London...

Take care......
Looks like I'm about to do the same, probably won't wake up until the NFP dust settles.

I am long from open this 15m candle, because of close last 4hr and 1hr candle before last and bullish engulfing on 15m. Would have longed at that 1hr but was on the road.

Why didyou go long Micho?

thanks
CAUSE 15M gave me a signal... and i had other signs also so now if the price went against me i will adjust to TP and get out of it when it goes back up again

I'm holding a long at 4763 from earlier today. Even though my 4h closed badly just now I am still seeing longs. This looks like a bull flag to me. Price just bounced strongly off the 15m 50ema. I have 4718 as 61.8% retracement of this morning's up move. Not trading on expectations but there's the potential of a bullish falling 3 pattern on the 1h depending how the current candle closes in 50m. I have a 1h support line around 4700 too. Only downside is that my 4h candle which just closed isn't very impressive.
