My shorts would like to see the tweezers at 6444 hold true on the h1.
great eye for detail. It is possible we could just range and bump around this broken trendline for the afternoon

Being how the US Session has been doing that in the 2nd half, I would not be surprised.

It's all about the details bro! 1 pip can make me junk a trade and look for a new seat. In this case, my shorts have been marching since 6550 with nice profit and good reloads as well, so I have some room on my position.

I am learning that from you. I can see it takes a great deal of concentration to succeed here though it can be done with care and patience (as a lot of you guys do so well here). It takes guts too. Thanks for all the assistance

It's the fine tuning of trading bro! I'm working on it daily and trying to get better as well. I feel like I'm a good trader, but I want to be more than good and better than great. The only way is to continue learning. The past will always show us the future, whether be in trading or in life.

I missed the original long entry on The Mistress but I did take the 35/50 for 20 and then reversed off the 35 for a nice long and now I'm short again from 133.41 with green pips and covered.

Oh my goodness. What is the world coming too?

Those other entries were good also though.

I thought this same thing a few days ago as I was trying to talk myself out of exiting winning trades too early -- the candle signals show us the future. I need to write this down repeatedly until it sinks in!

Possible breakout formation on M15 -S&R between 1.6421 - 1.6438. If Breakout occurs - potential target 1.6490 or short from this point.

Hope everyone is doing well out there today.

I'm flat atm......

It's been a huge battle for 6400.

Maybe a direction is coming soon, it's been 7 weeks.

well this is a surprise to me -- I didn't expect that broken trendline to get pushed back through. The pattern I highlighted a few pages ago has yet again worked however. I couldn't take it with the broken tl just above though.
