hey Rob!

I also took the inverted hangman ,but closed for 12 when it delayed back up the wick.

I find it hard to convince myself that inv. h/man is a reversal signal, not a pinbar for short continuation. (Can anyone spread any light on this?)

Thanks

Long at 4940, looking at adding more near 62EMA if she goes there.

And hello Ken Lee, i followed your thread on babypips.

Welcome..Damo, There was 2 trades of about 30 pips each around the 4940 area. one at 3:00 am eastern and 4:00 eastern USA time. The first was the first touch off the 50 sma 1 hr and the 200 sma 15 min. If you have read the PDF you know we take profits at the ma's The first went to the 10 ema , the second to the 21 ema . Both trades were combination of the S/R area or Previous Price Action (PA as it is known here) and the Sma Touches. Not the best trades to take but average for slow periods of the sessions.

Those would also require tight stops. When trading just PA and S/R as you can now see being in a down trend at the moment it went down 100 pips,

4780 is the crucial area imo.... we break there... we could head towards 4580...

Cheers mate, i have been through the PDF a couple of times and read through the tread to catch up, pretty easy for the first 200 pages but after that it was hard work trying to keep up with everyone posting every 5 secs. Its awesome but, good bunch of people to trade with im sure i will be here for a long time

One of the most common trades I see and miss most of the times , Is these. Price leaves area and we missed it , what now.. On either of these trades, if your skilled and confident you could have taken them off the top of the Tweezers. and had a tighter stop. It coresponded to the 50% fib and the 21 EMA.

But if your like me and you see most of this trades after they leave the station. You can catch them on the entry area that is common for flattop signals. which is the next candle .. As shown..

But if you read the PDF a pullback to the 10 or 21 ema and they are pointed down at 5;00 oclock is a entry. which is also the tops.. Then you can have a tighter stop, ( which equals less risk)
