Took a loss from a GU long at 4626.

Bought again at 4559 and grab back some pips, so only down a little this morning. Now I wait for another seat.

You're ok. I took it off the 21 ema and have taken some profit and I am +2. Don't be afraid to take 20 pips and leave some to run.

Looks good, just make sure you cover because she looks to be bottoming on the 15M and 1HR.

Good morning again everyone.

Macc have you taken the written test yet?
I flunked at the part where you have to fill in your name!

On the outside looking in at the moment but making quite a bit of sense of the PA I'm watching so there's hope for me yet.

Are you still short E/Y Pippi?

Nice pick off the 21ema. Was that the 7.45am 15m candle (your time)?

Did you figure entry on that particular MA touch purely based on the orientation of all the ma's? (if you don't mind me picking your brain)

No, I'm out. I took 65 pips on my 2nd soldier.
Yes it was the 7:45 candle. Yes the orientation of the Ma's and price was consolidating with the top also being the 38 % fib. I don't believe EO uses fibs so I don't really mention them on here.

Thanks Pippi.

As well as the ma orientation (which I considered to be at 4pm-ish rather than 5pm leading me to look for a deeper pull back to the 21 or even the 35/50) I note that the 6.15, 6.30, and 7am 15m candles also kicked off the 12815-ish area so that 21ma pick makes a lot of sense (to me at least).

I'm beginning by looking at the higher TF's but it's good for me to see how you guys handle the PA on the 15m TF too.

Pippi,

Is it fair to say that last EY hourly candle close as a hangman below the 12800 area to be an indication of E/Y staying bearish some more?
