i entered a little pre-maturely, im a little higher up.

i saw 6668 on my chart did you get on?

patience is good, but ive waited for a price before, got within 2 pips, and i say just a little more, then she reverses and i miss the bus
other times you get your price and the few extra pips that comes with it

I know there appear to be a few different H4 open/close differences with various posters on this thread so, just for reference, here is mine.

The last H4 candle closed at 8am BST so we are an hour and a half into this latest one.

I set an order at 6660, triggered, but stopped out, it goes down too far and strong
