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?

Macc
Sorry I'm just answering but I was in EJ on a counter trend trade going off the 15 min PA and I really have to watch when I take a counter trend trade.

We may be seeing a bottom by looking at the last 3 candles on the 1 hr. Buyers are definitely having more influence. My 3 hr is showing some spinning tops and we have hit a 50 ema on the daily.

Takes me all my time to post and I'm not even actively trading

When you do get a moment - when you're not bundling heaps of pips into a sack - was your counter-trend trade off the 15m 8.30am (your time) inverted hangman?

Also, just to check my charts, you mentioned the 50 ema on the daily but I'd got that running up near 12900 so didn't have it in the picture? Is it me?

Cheers,

Great job! I am looking at 126.30-126.50 area. I'm not sure it will get there.

Apologies all.

It's just dawned on me that I'm mainly posting EJ questions (to Pippi) when this thread is essentially aimed at Cable.

Best figure out how to use the PM function

Nice work mate, do you normally set a second take profit for around +50 or is every trade different? Sorry for all the questions just trying to learn
