I've got that on my daily for a target.
Yep that's what I'm seeing. Flat top 1H & 4H at 6192 could mean a bit down first. Nice double top there. I'll let the 15M tell me from here though....

I'm fair! How about yourself? I've not been on the charts til I got in long at 6153 so I threw the kitchen sink at her.
I am well thank you. Learning more each day

I'm not sure how long you've been trading, but find the setups that you feel comfortable with and trade those for a while and build on it. Most people have a problem with not sticking to one system and jumping from Fibs, to ma's, to S/R , trendlines to just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks. Don't get caught up. Find a method that suits your personality and trade it without emotion.

Sellers have to be here in the 619x area, however, your h1 did not close with a flat top, it does have a wick.

If our m15 that closes in 7m gives us a DBHLC, I will be looking taking a short. Ideally in the 619x or high 618x area with SL just on the other side of 6200.

I've not looked at the mistress today yet. Unfortunatley, I'm like a one legged man in an ass kickin contest right now and I keep falling over at the office.

I just put my eye on EJ and yes, I would have taken the long on EJ at 132.20 area.
