I have been trading GY more and more the last 2 weeks and the pippage on her is amazing
So have I. I was pretty nervous about it after what everybody says about it, but this way of trading seems to suit it really well.

I would like to see GU get up around the 1H 62 only because I am long but it will give me a great price if we go to 1.58

I think we can see the h1 62/50 after we get out of the US Session. That would definately be a place I'll be looking to add to my shorts.
Just digging in the trenches like everyone else!

I agree, its always a problem I had, seeing one thing that says its going down and another that its going up I was beginning to wish I knew nothing again

What I've found though after going over and over what seems like millions of charts, is that even though there might be a strong reversal candle usually the MA bounce will work anyway if you only think of it as grabbing a small amount of pips. They almost always work for at least 10....
Awesome help. Thanks LL!

Pippi, what do you mean by flat candle?
All three candles closing flat with no upper wick in the uptrend tells me that buyers may have exhausted their efforts. They were able to push price up just a little more which formed the shooting star mentioned by Ken. I waited for price to be pushed up a little more before I shorted. I wouldn't necessarily recommend waiting but sometimes I get a feel for the flat candle trades.

Good job. No sign of any of the seniors today.. Maybe Pippi is still looking for that power button on his computer

No I never turned it off after I got the neighbors 10 year old to turn it on for me!

Hi,

The high (1.62197) of the 4hr bar from 00:00 GMT today was just below the low (1.62209) of the 4hr bar from 8:00GMT of the 15th.

Would this have been a PA trade from the touch of that PA line?

Cheers

Thomas

Hello all,

what do you think about E/J? The 4 hr chart looks bullish for me. The 15 min seems to be exhausted but when the 15 min will bounce from the 200 sma it's time to go long?

Thank you Pippi. Now see it. http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon3.gif
