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..
You got me better again! 6240 is where I'm long from and like you, I've booked 100. I played this area twice during Asia session. The first one got stopped out at BE, thought it would, but I got back in when she opened the door.

EO. pip must have entered before the hammer had completed, that is whyi've asked for his basis for entry
You can see the shelf to the left on the m15 as to why he pulled it when he did. Might of even had a PO set for it when he saw her break the morning range. 6256 would have been 35 pips more than the closed price of the candle that last closed through the 15m 35. Excellent trade, with low risk. He had two factors supporting his long there.

I have an hourly 21sma rejection, 15min hammer, plus fractal support near candle close at 1.6271.

Oh and probably some luck .

Pip. can see the e/y, but why g/u at1.6260?
I basically played it as a 35/50 even though it wasn't a single candle coming down through the ma's. If you look at your higher time frame ma's(4hr.) you will see a nice bounce also. The 1hr. had support at 6260.

Excellent stuff bro! I got the same price twice as well! I got 23 pips on the first run then it came back down to my entry where I took it again... I then set stop below the wick of the hammer after the h1 close, set tp and slept well..

That's exactly what I did as well! With a little help from my friend Bob!

I agree! That would give us the push to 639x I believe.

For me I would say it was a flipping miracle as that would be a 50 pip trade that I had called myself..

from where did you see that 6260 support on the H1? the flat top's of the candles gave it about 10 hours ago, or the 20 ma?

careful though people... we could also end up with a hanging man on the h4.... I would be cautious if we got it but I wouldn't close and reverse because of it...

Isty, check out your chart now..
