If I had entered at 123.87 like I should have instead of hesitating I would still be in the trade and up 15 pips profit. Confidence is PRICELESS!!
Agreed but better out up 1 than in loss.

1st trade on the board in the green

Back in, that's the spirit!

I'm interested to know, what's an Americans take on the overall market feel at the moment - ie in the main stocks.

I just went short on both the EUR ladies. Longer term smaller trades though as I don't have the time to intra-day trade these days. I like your thinking BKG, although I'm seeing something different in my charts, I'll upload them in a bit, I think she is ready to break hard one way or the other. Hopefully it's down.

If you are upside down in that plane that may be why you are seeing something different...

Hi Macc,

Can you please elaborate a little more on this.

Cheers

Hi Occam and welcome to the thread.

I personally picked up the 35sma +/- 35 pip zone "concept" quite quickly but then took the time in front of the charts to watch how price behaved in parallel with it under various conditions. Reading of PA and where it's occurring, along with what's happening on the higher time frames always adds clarity (for me).

I'm not! And the sentiment agreed.

I should have a take on the US mindset, my Mother lives there, but don't take much notice of her rants.

If we're right then a big correction should arrive soon enough

Good Afternoon everyone. How is the cable treating you today? I've been over at the A/U and it's sloooow! I need some excitement!

Good Evening,

Just want to confirm, if my thinking is right or if it was just coincidence.

I went long at 4960 (08:10 GMT) on a pullback this morning, when the 04:00 GMT candle (the one before the London opening) closed above the magenta PA line.

Is my thinking right?

Cheers
