gonna stick my neck out, 6330 touch before the H1 closes
With a statement like yours, I'd normally ask what you've been smoking. Instead, I'll ask how you came up with 6330?

Wishful thinking by the looks of it now.............

EDIT: Saying that, I unloaded 1/3 my trade at 20 pips and covered my ass +3 so it worked out, flat now, considering sleep.

looking at the H4, lots of legs over the last 2 weeks, 624x seems a sensible target before our next significant push north, now i need to pick a seat
1st stop 6280

Greetings everyone while I'm on holiday. Enjoying some relaxation and making pips. I'm short from the top and I'm long from 6248 at the turn of the h4. I've booked some profit. I have not covered though. I can see this continuing south to 622x and even possible 617x. My shorts are covered at 6440. SL on my long position is at 6215.

The h4 close had a flat bottom and supports a continuation south like she's not done. There was NO BOTTOM WICK on my h4 close.

Trade well guys and I'll check back in later this afternoon or evening!

636x shows sellers on the h4. This area also lines up with the 15m 35/50. I have TP set on my long position at 6345 and I'll cover at that point. The news might through this though. Let's see.

a long out of here is not a bad play with a tight sl. SL could even reverse your position for you. 6240

Hi EO

Enjoy the break bro
Thanks bro! This 300 pip wimbledon is great play bro! The short from the top was nice to build and the long from the bottom should prove to be a nice play as well. Today's close will be interesting to see if we break out of this area. I'm watching 6190 very close and a close on the 15m below 6210. I wouldn't mind taking another long to the top..

Nice to see that tennis has been very very good to you. I have managed to hit the ball a little myself.

Hope you are getting some much needed R and R and even a little HS.
