Good morning everyone. I finally had a decent trade yesterday, short off the 1.5000 area for about 60 pips. I currently have a PO for a short at 1.5000 S/L 1.5016 targeting 1.4940. Any thoughts?

I'm lookin and not sure what you have at 5115. I don't see anything there.
I'm thinkin more like 5215 towards the 1H 200SMA.

Morning Dak & BKG.

Just to throw mine into the mix regarding levels for possible shorts.
After the 15070 we've already had a pull back from my next was 15150 followed by 15232. For the "fibbers" amongst us there's a 50% around 15180. As you say Dak, there's the 1H 200sma, though my charts have it higher up around 15280.
As is often repeated here. Lets watch for PA to show the way.

PS. I do see a minor area at 15118 where BKG makes reference to

Yes it quite in here because most of us are looking where to short at the next level of resistance. But I keep asking myself one question which I feel i need to clearify it right now. Is it that this system does not have a away to long to that level before taking the short or what? It seems everybody is waiting for short at about 100+ pips ahead. Just curious
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND EXCELLENT IS ATTENTION TO DETAILS.

Morning Ejiexe.

Speaking only for myself but my post was just to contribute on potential levels higher up where my attention would be drawn should price get there.

In my opinion there's no "system" here as such, more a method of understanding price action and the areas where it bares more relevance. In that respect, the method applies to movements big or small, long or short.

Ideally, you could have been long from the 14950 area leading into the move up during Asia. I had 15070 as a possible area of interest but, to be honest, my method of marking support/resistance only had that as a weaker level with a possible pull-back/retrace rather than an area where price would turn and resume the move down.

Price has moved back down through the 35/50 ma's on the 15m, and I have a 4h which closes in 30 minutes to assess matters further. I have an up sloping trendline around the 14950 area which will get my interest if she gets there.

If you are really asking this question, you need to go back and re-read this thread from post #1.
