My original entry was 6232... I've taken 100 pips profit on it already but the stop is set at +15.. I think this is just a retracement but let's see..

maybe cuz of the lower low, which means a lower high must be made, but it should be a short term trade.

Good job bro! You picked a cherry there! With the m15 hammer and the following bullish candle, we should touch 6276 and continue upwards. Let's see how this turns out.
Just digging in the trenches like everyone else!
