I hope you played it yourself!
Unfortunately I didn't, wasn't sure if it was still valid as it was such a large candle, but thinking about it it was probably more valid and more likely to go back the other way. Oh well, I'm glad I recognised it and nearly played it......next time

You've asked the question that's still up for debate amongst traders. I'm going for the hanging man, DBHLC, on that last h4 closed to support a continuation of our shouthbound movement. Ergo, shorts from the 655x are with SL on the otherside of 6565 provide good R:R. Now, will price go back up there, might not, look at how our last DBLHC turned out, the h4 went north without even looking back south.

I believe we're still in the range because of our closed price, the daily appears to be getting ready to confirm the range with it's close as well the is upcoming.

Eo - posted earlier (22380) but it got lost in the posts due to the speed you lot post at.(thats a lot of posts) and the fact I'm being moderated at the moment. I just want to say thanks again I've been glued to the thread all day, and learnt tons of new trading techniques. Also found the PDF and looking forward to digesting it over the next few evenings.

Thanks to everyone else on the thread great stuff.

Ps hope you see this before it gets lost.

Hi Chris,

Nice to see you are active. asked about you on the GU thread 2 days ago.
So hope all your shifting is done smoothly.

Folks, just joined this thread after finding experienced traders here. So hello from me.

My target for GU seems 66500 atm. It seems it will give clear indication to where it wants to head if it can touch that.

Hey ams,

I'm active on the forum but watching a lot nice pips go by without me as I'm still hobbling around to move. Yesterday was a killer to see all that nice action and not be able to play...lol But today is the big move so I figure the dust should settle by next week sometime.

There are a couple first rate threads on FF. You just found one of the BEST imho. EO, Infinity, Ken, Piippi and the gang are some of the best traders and nicest people I've met to date here. I honestly can't wait until all this personal stuff is behind me so I can really dig into and study the thread & PDF on page 1 like I did with J16 and get down to business again.

GM All,

we are bullish on H4 but on H1 we have a beautiful shooting star...umh...
also my first trade of the day on M5 entry on the last hammer and exit on doji, just a few pips +10 but it works....
Trade with the momentum

Correct on the shooting star but as been mentioned in here a good deal. It is preffered to have a small lower wick . That shows that the sellers did try to go short but were pushed back. But without the lower wick is just buyers continuing to try north move being held back.. It can still workout but just be aware.. I am short on it myself..But not really feeling any love off it yet.

Trade Well Ken
Good Trading To All ; Ken Lee

Personally I'm waiting to see the 4H close in 5 mins. If it closes under the 6560/70 area, I'm thinking it's gonna stay in this range and head south again. I think 6600 has to be broken for a continued up move.
