Pin with possible DBHLC?

It can still happen! Sellers are showing interest and they could give the pin, otherwise, we'll see 643x

I am and thank you for your previous post. I take it you are well?

By the looks of that photo you posted yesterday you must be a pole dancing foot model.

Hi Pippi.

I went short on the 35/50 cross on EJ.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

Just at work reading the thread but not able to trade for a few hours and looks like I missed a good EJ long opportunity. Hope eveyone just placed their shorts on GU. She gave both an H1 and an m15 PA oppurtunuty.

Hi Pippi.

Yes that was a good trade and I took it also. The long was a pure PA trade down the wick of the 8am EST 1hr candle. This trade could also have been taken off the PA on the 15 min chart after the IB/DBLHC at the 129.8x area. I prefer to get a better price (129.73) thus giving me a smaller stop loss just below the wick. I had 13 pip stop for a trade that netted me close to 70 pips. Another example of keeping my eye on the HTF, being the 1hr chart.

Hi pippi,

I have a question. How do you handle conflicting signals on different timeframes?

Hi Pippi

So did you pull the trigger prior to the 1hr closure?

Thanks!
It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it!

Look the EJ trade could have easily been taken off the 15 min hammer at 129.7x on the 8:15 EST candle but I was just getting my tired ass out of bed so I looked for the entry down the wick of the 1hr candle.
