Yes I like the cleaner entries and smaller
stops. I'll look for the Excel Chart.

Seems like I was looking at this daily
chart hours ago as a point of resistance
(and perhaps now a point of support?).

Never had that phrase, but I do love my ma's!
I especially like ma's when they are willing to wind up
tight and spring loose releasing an explosion of pips.

Just remember they always come back together with a fair amount of pips as well. You get that down with your PA and you'll be trading both ways without a thought.

it could be bk, around the 1h 62 and that important support-turned-resistance(?) zone. Right now I'm looking at a bear flag as a possibility

I just moved it to 6425 Because the 1H 62/50 are at 23/25. I'm beginning to have my doubts about it getting there based on the 15m though.

6415 could have very well been the top but the 1hr and 4hr show PA around the 6430 area it looks like to me so I will wait a little longer and see.We have some GBP news at 430 so that may shoot it up to the 1hr 62ema.

Well looking back now that PA on the larger tf does seem to be 6415

Good morning guys,

do you reckon we go south if we form some kind of doji/shooting star on 1hr?

Yeah, I've had that PO set since yesterday afternoon. I'll wait a while as well. If it doesn't get hit, there's always another entry just around the corner...

The 15m 200 also sits at 6426 right now.

big £ strength following higher than forecast CPI and RPI figures. No $ weakness yet.

we're faltering just now around the 61.8% retrace from Sunday's open. I believe there's a small gap in the low 500s
