Took a short at 5930.

@Ken and lazyboy: I have to practice the scaling technique. I think scaling in and out is a part of the key of successful trading.

I keep poping in here and looking on here everyday but no EO or Infinity. Did I miss something, those guys have been gone for awhile and I am just wondering what happened!! Just my opinion but until we have a dailey close below 1.5800 I want to keep playing long on the dips. What are you other guys seeing?

I'm getting concerned about them as well. I'm afraid they slipped and got crushed under all their pips....

For those two, that could be lethal!....

Morning everyone, who is still on this thread.

I am watching EJ closely atm.
15M could form a hangman, so it could be a chance for short.

But I would like her to meet with 10ma on 15M, so I can long it.

Also, 1H stochs are showing oversold.

Anyone else considering longs for EJ?

It did not work - EJ bounced off 5MA on 15M, and I missed it.

Hi,

atm I only watch and trade GBP/USD but I plan to make a template for EJ too.

Somebody played "ping pong" on the GBP/USD chart? Great opportunities to scalp her back and forth.

Good levels. Seems she could break out now.

Edit: She bounced from the trendline and came back into the range.
