I have a question need help. Thanks so much.
If the 4h closed under 1.48, is it a inverted hammer?

I agree, maybe even 458x or lower. Today's daily and weekly close will lead the way.
well i disagree, i find it hard to bring this down to 1.46
but lets see what next week brings

I need to see how it closes to answer that. It has a bottom wich which negates the hammer, but does pose an inverted hangman possiblity. We'll evaluate once it closes.

No worries, I don't see us reaching that level today. I would say a close around 484x is probably going to be in order, but it's Friday and anything can happen.

Guys, I gotta run for a minute. Be back in a little bit. Office is keeping me busy today as well. I would like to actually see the daily close below 4817.

I'm not ruling out 473x as an area today. I have 2 TP set on my shorts 4775 and another at 4745. Either way, my position will close positive by the end of the day whether be stopped out, targets hit, or I close. Remember, I don't hold over weekends.

1.472x is the third target of this down trend... good luck

HelenaY, it could close as a bearish hammer should it close without a bottom wick and below 4781 which would support the contiuation of the bears.

Missed my pull back entry on the EJ and I was waiting for that.. Darn

Just a picture of EJ:
- another 5 0´clock trading oportunity to short
- But be aware looking 1 hr chart, look like a support resistance, so it could go higher... also be aware by end of week time

Sorry, I was away for a little while. I would but I haven't taken the time to figure out how to get a 4hr chart on Rumus. I am still trading using a 3hr.

Can someone else help?
