Hey Micho

Expecting 4760 is not allowed here!

it shows signs of fierce fighting between bears and bulls... if 1.463x doesn't break we go to 1.474x... and i expect it to go there before falling slowly like a deceiving biatch

expecting 1.4747 now... then most likely down. hold on tight

well 1.4741 was the high, maybe we still can see 1.4747... but my point was made

Took the hanging man on GU, set SL 25 above the high of that candle, came back 20 mins later and the next green candle hit it EXACTLY at my broker!

ARGH! Anyway, I'm at the bus stop waiting for the next one!

Micho - Appreciate you insights, but one thing that I would find beneficial (and I'm sure others might agree) is to what you're looking at to come to these conclusions. Again, not doubting/questioning your methodology, just looking for opportunities to learn from others.

So if you can include some additional insights into the posts, I'd appreciate it.

Hey EO/Infinity - Can one of you guys possibly post an updated version of the RUMUS template with the new "standard" colors?

Thanks.

EZO - Mind posting a chart with your trendline?

sorry Ny I can't right now. I have to say that it's a clearer tl on the 5m, which I scale down to for entries. You can draw it in on the 15m too though, which is how I did originally.

took more off at 4729 in case we get more selling gpressure again. Will leave the remainder open. The possible right shoulder is quite extended now, I have doubts that this shampoo will play out.

I see this as a possibility.... It could also go down so stops are in place...
I just got 90 pips from this setup and hoping to get some more... covered +2 on remaining position...

No worries Infinity - just looking for a charting package that is flexible and allows me to look at several timeframes at once (ie undock charts). Appreciate it!
