We could possibly form a pin on the H1. Just have to wait and see.

New shorts on EJ from the 35/50 cross and reverse need to be careful.
Ok, took in account, SL at +5

I have a crystal ball! I called the 516x area for a long, which I did take, because of the prior days opening price wast 5155. I didn't call it lower because yesterdays daily candle was a bullish candle. Also, I just booked 100 pips on that move and the rest is now at +25.
Excellent call bro!

EO, any chance of a quick explanation as to why you were cautious on shorting EJ on that cross?

Hussin will give you a whole new understanding of candles well beyond hammers and pins. It's an amazing force and addition to your tradin but takes a good deal of time to incorporate. Also he focuses largely on LFX so you might need to add the Liteforex programme to your trading (I find it helpful on larger time frames, anything beyond 1h, mainly daily though). It's worth the effort. Hopefully he returns soon because he's dearly missed!
Very well put! Hussin is truely as master in the art of candles and their meaning. Everyone needs to remember he trades higher time frames. I recommend everyone to take the time to read his thread. Don't be afraid to ask questions, just don't grab ass on his thread please. This is my wish!

Bro, I'm short from the top of the mountain on EJ. I posted a week before we got the price what price I was looking for to short and I hope many of you took it. If so, you would be up almost 500 pips and could have closed for 600 at 128.7.

The short on the cross and reverse was a good setup to take, but we have to remember our higher time frames. He h1 is extremely bullish. It's been showing buying interest for the last 4hours. The last h4 closed out extremely bearish with a small wick and a new low. Buyers were waiting for that close to send it back north.

Your right, green is green. Now, on the 35/50 cross and reverse, you want to get on the other side of the 35 ASAP, preferrably during your entry candle and close down there. Book some profit and cover the rest. Notice the buyers just kept buying when she hit the 35? Also, look at the steep trendline from the bottom on the 15m chart. She's holding true to that as well. I'm not intraday trading her right now because of my swing position that is going to probably turn into a position trade depending upon how our daily closes with EJ..

Gentlemen good morning. I had stepped away from the charts for a few but I see some major green pippage has been acquired. I had a nice little ride with the mistress last night. The Mrs. joined in for a little while also.

Thanks for your advice bro ... I took again the train based on 50 rebound.. but this time 50 SMA serve for movile resistance (as EO outlined, 50 SMA can be useful)... and also 61.8 rebound as initial SL, now a winner trade anyway with SL +15

Good job! I took most off myself at 5260. I'm watching the upper trendline on the 15m to possible add myself.
