ez I bought too but for reasons not connected to EO's technique so didn't mention. First long 4836 stopped for +4. Second 4825 closed again +5. Just tiny scalps. I have a speculative trendline down on the 15m chart, a bit like a bull flag, which is why I started to buy.
We're near the h1 50 as well. Keep your eyes ready for action there as well! Our close on the 15m char will be interesting.

good point there. We have the 4h 10sma here too so it was worth a shot

Yes, looks like it is on the cards. I will let the rest run with you. We are hitting a zone with some steeply ascending H1 ma's like the 1H50sma and the 50 fibo here at the 14800 level. It also marks the bottom edge of an uptrending Bollinger band so there is a strong probability of a strong bounce. I will be watching for the reaction and may hedge a long till we get back to the m15 ma's.

Looks like the H1 close may support it.
yeah it comes down and up all the time but it should hit 1.4546... if the high was broken again, the profit lifts a bit up...

EO, why did you take this long?
15 min closed bullish, but kind of indecision. 1H did not touch 50ma.
So, what's trigerred your trade?

Heaving finger! This is why I'm stuck in the 31-36 loop of Turtles post over the weekend.

OK, I am just somewhere on the top of that list.

4800 was a pretty strong support on Friday. Are you considering long immediately when it touch 1H 50ma? Or, you will wait for confirmation?

I'll be waiting for confirmation myself. We have the h1 62 below her at 4775. One option is long at 4800 and add at 4775..

actually, now that I mention entering before the candle closes ....I had a question about the 5 o'clock trade that bounces off the 5/10 EMA. Do you enter that one when it touches the EMA, i.e. potentially midway while the candle is still forming, making the assumption that the trend will continue, or do you want for the candle to close, confirming that it rejected the 5/10 EMA, and enter on the open of the next candle?

I did! Thus why I have heavy fingers at time bro! I came out all positive, but it can spank you in the ass at times.
