Which means what?
Thanks
the way it closed = indecision

up until about 5 minutes before the close, it was painting out as a hanging man, ah well, we'll just have to wait a bit longer for a clearer signal

spitfire, like ez said we're in a range with no close yet beneath 4900 support. There is a 1h supportive trendline around 4850 too I think. My remaining long got closed at b/e unfortunately

Am I reading you guys right in that the potential is more to the long than short because of the inverted hammer and not much previous down movement?

Thanks, Art
well yes in theory, but I'm not going long yet and I am more biased towards a short, so will be looking out for them, but if long presents itself, I will take it. Sorry not really answering your question as i will play it anyway it goes.

Yes, I would like to see it.
For now, I can see forming hangman on 15M, but I am confused how to read it.
Thanks.

Morning, Ken
It looks like we gonna get another confusion - inverted hummer on 15M.

BTW, Your previous post about pin/hangman/hummer was great. The last one with psychological basics of trading is excellent. So, I am wondering, if you have posted anything about tweezers?
Thanks.

I am not 100% sure but I don't think it is a hangman because there isn't a candle beside it. So it is considered more at the bottom , and a hammer. and the last price movement was down, if only a bit.. again not sure but I have been burned on these before because of that..

Good morning to you as well!

30 pips myself. How about yourself?
Hey EO sorry I didn't reply last night. I was trying to manage 2 trades and when I finished I didn't check the thread before I went to bed. I had a great night taking almost 40 off the GU but my mistress was even better to me. She had a wonderful move up which I was able to bag 193 pips.
