Good eye! I have a TP on my shorts at 6485. Not a final TP, I can also see 646x and possible 644x. I don't recomment jumping in short here, as we can see buyers coming off of the 653x area, but a sell of the m15 5 with your m15 10 as your SL could yield some nice pippage. Price Action always leads the way.
If anyone sold off the m15 5, their up 50 pips with a minimum draw down. Not bad!

Now, look at your h4 charts and see if you can see the levels I've pointed out above as well. I can even see 6400, but I think anything lower than 646x would be a miracle today. Watch your PA, TP and keep yourself covered.

I'm off to grab some lunch!

A sell again off the m15 5 with your m15 10 as your SL is a good opportunity here. Keep your eye on the h1 as well, you can see 646x very nice on it. At the same token, if your h1 gives us a bullish hammer, then we'll be looking to be a buyer down the wick of the h1. This supports not getting in a shitty position taking the short off the m15 5 and being able to get atleast +3 before getting stopped out at the m15 10, but don't take the trade without the SL, she could just pounce up with a h1 bullish hammer. Either way, it's trading, and make good entries for purpose.

m15 gave us a bullish spinning bottom. longs from 6500 with SL no more than 6490 could yield some nice pippage. If it were I, I'd take 6507 and SL at 6490. I'm not taking the long myself, I'm going to lunch and we're going to probably consolidate for the rest of the day.

Back from lunch! We have matching lows on the h1, I'm still favoring the bear movement though. The longs with SL at 6490 paid some good pippage, but the ma's on the m15 are getting tight against price now. If I took a long out of here, I would keep my SL at 6490, otherwise, you might turn around and see price at 646x.

I just donated 8 pips back to the market. Notice how with price converging so tight with the m15 5 that it kept price down? Not that buyers will not start showing up in the 648x area and I couldn't get out at BE, but it could be a long wait to make that happen. No thank you! Take the loss on the chin and get in on the right side of the trade. I fortunatley still have shorts running looking for the bottom of hell! 1 position in particular, I've been holding for over 3 months now.

I hope you have all enjoyed the ride today. I wish I could be on here more like I use to. I'm trying to make it here more often as of late and will continue to make the effort.

Hi, Kenneth!

Found the two links on page 1816 post 27232 very useful. However, I did not download. Used to just go to the link to view everytime using the links.

However, this morning I find that I can no longer get to the pdf files directly instead I was linked to a directory with the name "allen lee".

Is it no longer accessible?

Many thanks for the thoughtfulness, time and selfless, dedicaded hardwork put into this thread by you and EO and all others to help.

Blessed pips to all!

Hi Eo,

Great thread here. Hope you do mind my asking you to elaborate on Post 27552

"....as we can see buyers coming off of the 653x area...."

I did not refer here just before I shorted (which I did read other previous posts) and of course it was a failed trade.

However, it would be great to be able to see when buyers or sellers are coming off. It would be a great help in future.

Thank you

Happy Pipping.
