I am also waiting for a bottom today but I`m waiting for some sort of climactic selling before that that will stick out like a sore thumb. I think that this h4 bar that just started will break the low of the 9am to 1pm h4 bar and will land @ 1.6750-45. volume so far has not demonstrated any climactic action so far every time price tries to rise on the M5 it is met with equally aggresive selling
from I see, but what do i know
I was actually favoring the 6675ish (support, 200ma) area but I'm wondering if it will get there. I thought it might before lunch but now, I'm not so sure. So I'm in doubt and I'll stay out till something obvious sticks out she tips her hand.

Good observation! It came true...
Thanks, but as I've said before, it's all about the details. Even 1 pip can make a difference as we all saw.

I wonder if that was a clear enough trade call? Maybe I need to post my order entry to show I'm not a fraud!

Only for those who aren't here to see your logic and explanations leading "up to" a trade....

AmeriTrini, my eagle eye in the sky looking beyond. Now that we're more than likely going to get a nice bearish close on our daily (new low and all), do you see a possiblity of a run back to 6900 before continuing to fall? I'm seeing it as a possiblity, but not enough to make me close my shorts out.

I think you have a very fair look on the market!

I appreciate that very much means a lot to me.
Here is a H4 line chart. I like to look at it because it shows very clearly the smoothed price movement and what price level seemed to be an important support/resistance. I am looking at 1.6640. Take a look both peaks are almost equal to the pip there. It also aligns with the 62 H4 SMA and the 38fib from the whole daily upmove from 1.5983. Just has a high probability taste in my eyes

I kinda got a case of the ass over it today at lunch while talking with my girls (my employees are women). So to come back and see him in here, just threw gasoline on the fire. I wish him the best!

Thank you Ken! It was all crap and I don't know why he choose to pick on me.

PS Bob and I like the salute from the ladies!

BTW: I've booked 11 on my position long and SL has been moved to 6755. The loss will not wipe out my gains. It'll be a wash.

Now, whoever might have taken the same long as me, realize, yes we've booked 11 pips and our only draw down was the spread. 11 pips will not make you rich, but if you put 11 pips together 10-20 times. You can do the math. Watch your h1 and the m15 21. The m15 21 will have sellers ready to go again.
