I moved mine there JUST in time...LOL

Had I left it at 75 it would have been hit to the pip....

Still like the trade though. The YEN jumped but stopped dead at resistance. EUR still "creeping" up
Let's see if it was a good decision

Well hopefully you're wrong! haha..Thanks though.. I'll give this one a big stop loss and see how it plays out. Sorry to hear about your friends child. I wish you all the best in your search.
Wouldn't be the first time...

And thanks all. We'll find her!

Mcfly, I didn't like that last 15M close under all the MA's....

A simple TA on GU. The gold UTL is Daily. The gold LTL is 4H. The red horizontal is 6330. A break is coming but which way?

I should add that USDX is tanking atm

Yeah, I'm not liking this actually. Flat top on the last 15M? I'll give it one more bar or my SL to see.

Nope, you need the dollar to stop tanking. Oh yeah, that's the same thing.

The mistress is trapped in a mean triangle. I should have taken the chance to exit with -2

new to this thread.

was this a correct entry off the pinbar back toward the 15m trend?

was it also a 5 oclock somewhere trade when the 5/10ema's broke out of the tight ma's toward 1?

does EO us trendlines with this method?

Appreciate your help. Thank you.

Steve

PS: wish me luck as I just shorted Gu at close of nice 15m pinbar.

The EUR is still creeping up "slowly" but the YEN is just sitting against resistance atm. I'll hold as long as we "sit" here but I'm watching closely.

By the 15M MA's...we should cut and run...LOL
