Anybody ready to short G/U, it is a S/R area and the DBHLC in 15M
The GU at the time seemed unclear to me. I shorted GJ and EJ, which turned out for the good.

Good morning lads BTW.

True, there are diamonds thrown in this thread. I often go back to past posts to see if I overlooked them.

Anyway, how are your trades today? I've booked some profits and set the rest to BE. Enjoying my cup of coffee.

Yes, till July. Then the market turned too volatile. Yesterday I went through another thread. The guy said: "once you are at the end of the road, you will need no indicator, just the S/R levels and a few MAs". Whatever works I'd say.

Good morning everybody

Its been a lively day so far on GU and I have been able to read most of the moves.
This is a great feeling and of course we know where the thanks goes for this

For those who are new..... Time, patience, faith in the knowledge given here and your dedication will pay off.
Like Lucky Lady, I too learned and applied a number of systems until I finally found trade what you see.

I think everyone who has ever tried to make this work has done that,always looking for the holy grail that does'nt exist.I have been from Cowabunga on babypips,through 3 Ducks to 5/13/62 (which I still like and use) to now looking at this stuff here,trading ,like life,is a journey.As long as you make positive pips then in the end that's all that matters.

Morning BKG

I am with you up to 1.63 (1.6295 for me, I'm chicken) where I will look for reversal signals for the drop.

The 625xx area is going to be tough to get through now though, so lets see what happens.

If we get a 4hr candle to close above 1.6250 we may be going up for a bit.This thing has been in a 200 pip range for a week and without a close above 1.6250 on the 4hr

or maybe right back down to 1.6100 by todays end........

Thanks Komissar
Just what I was going to do show my H4. Yours appears to close the same time as mine, meaning a new H4 candle in around 2 minutes ( and the candle is still the same as your chart ).

My 5am (GMT) H4 closed this morning at 1.62734 bid price and I think because there are various brokers closing their H4's at various times these can be a little misleading.

Either way the .625 area is resisting strongly at the moment so that's the immediate hurdle
