I'm surprised you used a stop after reproaching PippiNole earlier for not seeing the move to "its end".

that's fine, but then don't tell other people how to trade. This thread has a different way of doing things than the regular cable thread

Trade what you see and NOT what you expect
An FX trader from Miami once told me, Trade what you see not what you think! Same idea and yes, each time I forget it, I pay the price.

Good price.... I have longs at 4650 that I took some profit on already and covered... playing the range for the time being.. but taking mostly longs...
I got stopped out +20 on the remainder here, missed the short.. took another long at 4590 and closed most for 30 pips rest covered at be.. I'm done for the day.. ... I think....
I hope somebody took the h1 hangman and got some pips on that short...

H4 looks week though... 4550, maybe even 4430 may be on if we take out 4580...

I don't like that we are below the h4 50ema though thus I am cautious with my long and have it covered...... ..

I agree, I'm covered as well on mine. The close under the h4 50ema does concern me, but the prior h4 candle that went down to to 458 area went to 4584, this last one only went to 4588. Plus, we have the h1 200sma that we touched and bounced nicely off of. This is where I took my long from, missed it by 4 pips and got in at 4600. Keeping my eye on the h1 200sma, should we have close below it, we will see 445x in my eyes.

Should we clear the 15m 5/10, I see 4700 for another nice short opportunity. We have the 15m 200sma right there on the other side of the 50/35, plus it would be a play on prior PA as well.

I agree with that area too! ....also 4530-50 should also have some buyers as it is 50% of the last upmove...

I agree with the double bottom at 4580 and the 4 pips higher spike also...
