Hi EO,

What made you go long at 6115? The 50% pullback into the candle after the pin on M15?

I set the order at 6115 and went to take a shower. I took it based off the DBLHC on the daily and going back to the prior 2 day's opening price levels.

Yes this was a valid 35/50 cross. Up against the 200 as well.. Could have played out nicely. Still could.

hi EO

would you consider this a valid before DOW morning range BO with a retest?

where to trade this?

pullback to 5/10/21 or just range top?

the pin at 2pm GMT was the false break - because it doesn't close outside the range?

Hey Pippi,

Just curious as to how you would trade this right now when we have a 4 hour telling us to go long, but a 1 hour which looks like it will close telling us to go short..

I wouldn't be looking for a position in this area personally. I'm long from 6110 after the pin and still have a couple of shorts from the top. I can see price ranging out for the rest of the afternoon.

Cool thanks. Then I did the right thing. Amazing monitor setup by the way. Do you seperate each screen by currency pair, or use each one for different time frames?

Typically 1 pair with the 1hr and the 15 min charts split screen on the top two 26 inch LCD tv's and 1 pair with the same arrangement on one of the bottom 23 inch monitors and 1 monitor with all my HTF's tabbed for an easy one click look. The other monitor is used for forum or internet surfing. I can switch the one tv to watch news or whatever.

Having that many screens is ideal for sure. I'm running two 24" right now, but want a 3rd. Yep, I took the 35/50 and closed it out on the hammer about 5 candles later.

Ok I was going to say if you still had some shorts from there I would just cover at BE or + and see if she drifts back down.

Cool thanks. Yeah with my 4hour the way it is, I wasn't going to hold a short for very long.
