Thank you for the detailed explanation.. It helps to see the BIG picture. We (I) get so focused watching the smaller time frames and forget to check the interplay between all them. I do see the 1 hour better now since I placed it right in front of me. Now to remember to check the 4 hr and take notice of the important information. maybe 4 hr alarm ( CHECK YOUR CHART!! ) Pops up. LOL

Again Thanks for All you Provide Us..Ken
It's my pleasure Ken!

My long position just ate my SL on my shorts.... I took more off of my longs on that note as well.

The printing press is still hot bro! I haven't played with the mistress today though, only my main squeeze!

Good to here the press is still hot. I have missed all of the US session but managed to print a little during Asian last night on a 35/50 rev. and some more during London on PA.

Good job bro! I missed the fall from 5060, but I got 5000 to 4900 which was nice and some good short pippage during the US Session and some good long pippage as well. I just have long soldiers on the field marching now. I wouldn't mind seeing a hangingman on the daily for our Friday to be full of short green pips!

497x to 498x close on the daily would give us a nice hangman on the daily.

Ive just closed my last long on EU, i find it strange that the rally in equities at the moment is having such a dulled down effect on EU and cable. Makes me wonder if there is any let up in the rallying we could see these pairs drop hard and fast

Here's a thought for everyone then, hangman on the daily and we could see 4500

We've had a touch of the m15 200. Will that be the line in the sand?

Yeah possible, I reckon we might have a bearish engulfing closing around 4875, either way were pointing down for tomorrow

yeah but im only taking trades according to RSI so basically i cant trade short unless i see a daily down trend developed...
when/if i develop the other strategy without RSI i could be taking all trades without RSI but for now i am on 13/13 with RSI
god, i know how much a reversal is rewarding but im following the book

No worries there bro! Your making green pips and that's what it's about. I want to see more of your rsi to see how it can be incorporated with our strategy.

I am looking at the GBPLFX basket which someone here linked me to and the daily candle there is showing a hangman now (though it's still open).
