Morning all

Just got closed out for 98.5 pips on my last 10th of a lot from the bottom

The possible targ of 1.626xx would that be the h4 support turned resistance
from the 28th and yesterday????

I won't jump back in long now at this price, just waiting for the top and reverse signal (listen to me sounding like some sort of pro )
Good job on the positive pippage!

Breakout? Long off the m15 5 was the long to have taken, not that a long here won't work out, but we have an h4 candle getting ready to close in 20m.

BTW, if we clear 626x627x, next stop will be 632x.
Morning, EO
Sometimes I am still confused about next stops.
Why will it be 6320? Because of that reverse on 12pm of Aug 31?

I'm sorry, I read your post wrong, I thought you said Long right now off a breakout.

I took a long out of there at 6198 myself. I had just opened the laptop and was in positive pippage right away.

It was a really clear signal. I missed the bottom unfortunately. Short from 6235 and covered. I see us going higher

EO I have a question. If you look at the 1hr candle on the wifee the 2nd to last candle was a strong bullish candle that found resistance at the 62 and the 50. would you have shorted that? or would you have said there is just to much momentum there and be looking for longs off of the 15m 5 and 10?

personally I think long but I am not nearly as successful as you and after geting beat up a little bit I am finding a groove.

BTW great advice sticking to one or two setups that is what is saving my account coz I am not ready to keep up with you guys jsut yet

I think it could still revisit that area, 15m 50, 1h 10, that area. I'm done for now and will wait a bit. Good trading
