I dont have an indicator for it. But just noticed the pattern forming on M15 and H1 so did the math. Either way it is a bearish picture ultimately but we may still head for the target levels especially if a bank is supporting the 6240 area to not lose an option expiry.
I was thinking about that thing u posted last week and wanted some feedback on. Nobody responded so i thought i would let u know that it was not ignored!

Good target bro! I hope we get it. I'm eyeing 6225, 6150, then a possible reverse at the 615x area....
...Excellent!

Haha. Cheers mate. I just put it out there as something to add to the probabilities of a trade working It worked really well last month tho as the debt settlement on 29 June. Looks like this option level is being defended at 6240 for the H1 close. I would not be too surprised with a strong move directly after the h1 change. Not always but it has done so before. A large expiry rolls off at 16060 2moro so I would love to see us visit that level by then. Who knows...

Thanks bro! She missed my TP area of 6150 though. Still holding shorts, but not ruling out a long.

that would be above the support area, thus not a viable stop.. "tight" is relative imo... 10-15 is good depending on the entry you get.. but you have to look at support/resistance areas too..

My tight SL is usually around 30-40. You need to realize, I usually don't enter a STOP when I enter a position. Sorry for the confusion.

I've closed my position at 6180. I'm freakin rich now!
