The rinse will be outstanding! 673x - 674x is an area that I have my eye on for the top of the right shoulder to finish it's formation. Ergo, the bounce we'll see from 1.60-158 area up to there will be a good ride as well.
Just digging in the trenches like everyone else!

Indeed bro!!... and as you said... ranging is likely in between so we should see some nice opportunities on lower tfs...

Exactly! We'll spank her both ways!

I made a comment when you were on Holiday about the markets and how I see it all as a range and the only true direction is east.

Can someone please tell me if this was luck or judgement

Went short on GU on 5:15GMT candle after it didn't close above the 21. Closed it when 6:45 candle had a higher close, took +46. Did the same with EJ on 6:00 GMT candle, closed for +22 when it had a higher close on 6:45 candle.

Went long on both took +10 on each.

Total so far: +88. I would like to know though if it was the wrong thing to do, although luckily worked, or if you would have played it differently.

These charts may make it easier to see the actual trades.

Morning, fellows
It looks like British banks holiday also affected this trading society.

Anyway, there is a bearish channel on GU 1H, and PA is in the middle of it.
