Outstanding bro!

Here's why I got in where I did.
There were a number of good reasons to jump in where you did. There was your trend line, Infinity's m15 50 and a testing of yesterday's highs.

That is why I took profit at 70.. I am not adding to this position atm... but I am not shorting yet either because we are well above the m15 10 and the 5 is still holding... That h4 close in an hour will be interesting.. either a hanging man or a hammer me thinks..
I'm not ready to go short yet either. I think I'm gonna follow suit and book some more profits here at 70 and keep the remainder at +25.

Im agree, Are we using the same broker??.. althought is now between 50 & 61.8 retracement lines... also I have a horizontal resistance around 1.4770 (4hr TF), so could go down now... Let see what charts & candles show us.
Right now since we're near the London fix and we're butting heads with resistance I'm looking for a reason to short.

My reverse and long from yesterday is still running bro. But she's looking like she's running outta steam. I'll consider the short after the h4 closes.

No wonder she is running out of steam, carrying both of us.

I booked over 200 this morning when I took the long on GU, and kept the rest at +200 as well. I have a tiny soldier left out there on her.

It was my MT4 I used to simply reverse the fibs to get my 127% and 161.8% targets. I will try to attach todays GBP chart reaching the 161.8 within a whisker. here goes....

Based on todays little intraday rally and retrace to 1.42826 the extensions give further targets of 1.485 and 1.492 ish. I am not advisig these so please don't take as signals this use of fibs just might be helpful to someone.

this is the exact reason I like being in this thread. A simple and to some members an obvious mistake and yet nothing but genuine help and honourable acceptance of that help. This is why I believe that everyone in this thread will succeed together.

I continue to applaud you all

Something else I want to say I cannot remember all details but on one platform I used to use.....I needed to draw the fibs in the way you did originally to show the 1.27 and 1.68 fib extensions. These numbers many will know often provide good targets...
