Hi Galation,
seems I was posing some questions and you were providing some insight
I agree with your view and there is littles news to help things along. So I will set my mind this afternoon to scalp the range and let candle patterns trigger the trades.. GULP


Quoting Galation
You lucky guy! It's always best to have a little break, then come back to trading: one feels a lot sharper and more focused. I see this cable ranging for a while yet, in the already formed range. It's difficult at this point to trade on a long term trend, so intraday and swing trades are best at this moment in time, potentially scalping off the range, and price reversal points.

This made me laugh when I saw it

It's a petition on a government website asking for Gordon Brown to resign.
This is precisely why you should never give the masses the means to express their opinion! It will only end in tears.

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend and is ready to battle today. I'm short again. I was short last night as well and would love to see a pin on the h1.

The H1 50 and the M15 200 might give resistance...if it makes it that high.

Good morning to ALL..
I have 3 different platforms that close the 4H at different times...the one that just closed at 10 est. closed well above last candle's wick ...the one that will close in 40 mins...also looks bullish to me...
I believe we will see just a bit higher up (as Cisco mentioned) before our drop..IMHO

ps...I am eyeing the 4H 50ema @ 4650

Hi EO,
If you have time could you clarify something for me.

On my 1 hr (the 9am EST candle) it looks as though the close was a pin with the long wick to the top of the body. Can you confirm that this is still seen as a "pin" and that you would play it bearish due to the last 3 x 1 hour candles all with higher lows?

Thanks in advance

As I am writing I see the price has been rejected on first touch of this hours 62 ema. This might give me my answer if she crashes

A 61.8 fib retracement from the last few days down move would be 1.4673 and I see a daily pivot at 1.4674 and prior hourly res at 1.468......could be reasonable confluence!!!

At the bus stop waiting now if the 4H closing at 12est closes above/below 50ema...
BTW...my 1Hold trendline lines up to serve as resistance @ 4674...but no telling what she's up to today....Hussin mentioned on his thread this pair was a no go for now
but I realize he sees longer term....HTF

I'm keeping my eye on the h4 close as well! Not liking how the current 15m is shaping up though.

She could very well stick around this area and give us a pin on the 1H

Well....if she closes the 1H as a pin that means our 4H would close above 50 ema...not sure which is preferable....
