The daily 50, H 10 and the m15 35 are all about the same price. Might be a good target.
Good call

Take a look at this it has to happen for a turn always it can not turn without this happening. Also look at the news spike on the right see were it stopped and fell. again and again.. These things happen just look for them add to your knowledge as you go.

If you saw these and went long your in pretty good shape to fail. So look for the candles that are turning first let price lead the way.

This doesn't say anything about how far down it will go but it will go down SOME.. Sometimes you might geta series of doji's or spinning tops , But the wicks move down from the top. It is a guide to help you..

Well it looks like we could see one, but remember that we still have about 30 minutes left in that active candle, so what you see right now might be very different than what you see at the close of the candle.

My second trade for today, i saw that Gj is in a channel between 151.50 et 150.80, i short gj at 151.37 (SL 151.50) just after a shooting star on M5 (don't know if we can call it a shooting star, because have a little wick), but i took it for 20 pips ( cut half position at 10 pips and out at 20 pips).

I'm going to give my 2cents. I played on the mistress earlier for some nice pippage, but flat across the board now. I know I always say the news is noise, but today's news is more than noise and it's Friday. I would recommend you only take solid setups and be careful of the noise coming out in 1h 30m.

Just want to add though, although really really pleased I'm not going to get over confident, each week is different I know, but its Friday, I don't have to trade anymore today and I'm feeling like dancing round the room, so today is for celebrating. Thanks to everyone on this thread.
