Morning bro! There's more pips to be had. I still have a small long open and watching this close for maybe another soldier to go into battle.

Morning everyone, ive been lurching on the forum with little to input. I dont have any directional bias for the last week and a bit now, just been scalping up and down.

Only thing I will say is I dont see this as a break out just yet.

As we can see from the 4hr and daily its not uncommon for price to reach 5030 ish level then get smacked back down. I shall continue to scalp, besides less stressfull and more fun

Don't worry Micho, another seat is right around the corner.

Don't forget it's TIW(Triple Interest Wednesday)........

That always brings in a few pips my friend.

Don't worry bro! You know, it's not about being in a trade all the time, just being in the right trade at the right time. You'll see a setup that you like and take it when it presents itself.

I'm holding off on adding to my longs. I want to see how the h1 closes before I add. See everyone in 30m.

I know what you meant and I know PA often still works but i dont like to play it if there is too much time in between (in this case there was an hour) better to wait for a new setup IMO, I took the 15min pinbar short straight away and was willing to add if we moved up but we went straight down from there

Here were a couple of great signals we are always looking for .. I missed both I was sitting in front of the computer when the gbp hit. sitting in a fog ..Missed the other by 20 minutes.. Left is EUR/JPY right GBP/USD , Both are the 62 ema touch trade.. I would enter within 5 pips of the line as platform prices differ a bit. I seen it get this close a few times and turn..

Hey bro, why do you call it bearish? Mine just closed as well. Looks like even body to wick and close over 4950.
