If we close above 1.6190 I think we continue on to 1.6250 next, just me thinking out loud
Looks like there is a lot of wood to chop around 6205 to 6230 to me (fibs,ema's,falling trendlines etc etc )

I absolutely agree with you.
The next stop for me if we get a close above 1.6250 for me would be 1.6335, whats your thinking there?

She could turn here so I have profit locked in and will be watching closely

I think the next important area is 6300-6310.

I have a line at 1.6308 on my 15m but the 4hr looks to be around 1.6335 to me so I guess we can worry about that after 1.6250

I was afk and as I came back the trade played out nicely. I closed the trade at 6242. Maybe too ealy but I'm not shure she will overcome 6250.

Yes this was the reason why I went short. Let's see if she's so nice to drop for us.

I didn't COMPLETELY follow my sys. I've been in meetings all AM so i jump in with both feet when i turned on my charts. Normally i would have entered just one position and waited but since it was sitting on previous high i went with 3 trades. If i had entred my 1 position and waited i would have gotten 3 more at probably the 53 area then i would have been sitting more but instead i only got 3 - 11 pip trades out of it. oh well. hind site you know. but it's money so i'm not gonna complain.

the H1 62 is very doable. and that would be nice but it's SOOO close to the H1 200 i'm hesitant to sit in it for too long but i'm also not planning on longing this beotch to the 275 area. we're too "in the middle" for that..at least for me.

and if anybody wondered, this is why I shoot for 10 pips at a time. it's pretty normal for it to drop 10 pips (or jump) and sit. This gets me profit without waiting around too long. For those of you with greater patience then of course more pips are in store but my patience isn't all that great

Cool. Congrats on the trades. I agree with being so close to the 200. Although, I have pretty strong daily resistance at 1.6250 so that is what's keeping me in. A nice drop in the next 20 mins could put a shooting star on the H4 as well. Happy Trading.
