1st trade of day, gu 5 min lh from the tough 4980ish area. Very tight lease looking for BE asap. Yesterday was a hammer, wierd deja vu daily candle going back to 2 March.
Just to clarify, trublu, the entry was below the shooting star/75 combo. The SS was the right kind of candle though.

Sold again here, this was late, after the red candle close there was a retrace and 1 min doji. Entry should have been there. Again a tight leash on this one.

Stop hit at +2. The goal for us of these trades is not the 5 or 10 that might get hit but to keep on trying for those trades that do spike down for a lot more.

Anyway I've spent the last 3 weeks trying to get in a few trades running round to doctors, hospitals, estate agents to sell my mums place and selling/moving her stuff. Later today is hopefully the last trip to take away her last few bits.

I'm absolutely knackered, so whilst we appear to be forming a base here at 4950 and the decent move of the day may well be up in line with y's hammer I'm going for a kip.

Good trading.

Islander (and Medici for that matter) come back all is forgiven!!!

This is the 1 min doji, the better entry after the prev 5 min strong down candle.

We only got in below the prev 5 min low.

Feeling a lot better, we did indeed form a base and head up. I wasn't at computer hope some people got some of it!!

Anyway I'll be heading out again as mentioned for the last few bits from my moms place, don't want to try and force any trades.

15 min charts shows base nicely.

Yes good spot. Inv head and shoulders could see price go to WM3 area IF it plays out.

OK I'm outta here, nice stuff as always Islander!!

I'm way down today and yesterday on target but considering what I've had on the side I am very, very happy with month so far.

Looking forward to some longer trading time and getting those numbers up to where they should be.

Most importantly my mum's recovery has been nothing short of amazing, my thanks to those that expressed warm fuzzies for her, thanks again guys (and gals).

price ran up to the 5025 area in a wider ranged, high volume candle and then stalled, as we're close to a time line, I closed and banked my pips

Congrats on great trading, I completely missed the boat today, so had a look where I missed opportunities. There are 2 glaring misses. Not talking about your 25 level hammer buy, that was great.

Arrow down, the 5 min lh after a high vol 15 min candle broke the immediate channel suggesting a move down.

Arrow up. A 1hr hammer coincided with this hl.

I'm going to stand in the corner for 15 mins and repeat trade what you see, not what you think. trade what you see not ......................
