GM all. A Euro short from the level where the selling started yesterday looked too tempting to resist. 1.3345 possible target, where I would enter long.

GM - a reasonable Asian range of 60 pips with slightly LH and LL has the last bounce holding at the 61% retrace - I'm short off that and so far the pre FO action is slow.....I have support at the DP at 5441 and then the 5425 level / earlier low....

In addition a Gartley-type pattern on both Euro and cable, which made it a bit of a giveaway.

and so far the pre FO action is slow.

the first red candle after FO was a higher volume spinning top, so reasonable to think this was the low and that cable would bounce.....BUT so far it hasnt as the dollar - Swssy - is rallying....mm, time for a rescue operation....http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon11.gif

I was long off the DP and so - 20 pips at the low in the red 1 min marubozo that made an equal low at 5421. As there was no follow through, I bought again and set my TP at my earlier entry plus spread and thus exited both for a profit in the retrace to the 5450 level.....


I've since sold at the DP which is just above the now falling slow ema....

A post 8am dip to 5390-97 for pick up of orders is a possibility.

Thanks Patience doesn't come easy to me...

Note also the timing with cable. Long entry in cable at exactly the same point as Euro hit 3345 was also part of the plan

5416 is 50% of today's session and early European low of yesterday. Looks good for a return trip to 5400 or so.
