There were HLs in both cable and euro, although, as usual, it was better to wait until the middle of the hour for cable's.

Euro is so far stronger than cable which is still under its 5m 30 ema....

LHs on both € and cable after ultra wide ranged marubozos gave an easy sell for 30 or so pips.....

The DP level which held earlier - also the top of the Decision Zone - held again with a great buy signal for the 100+ pip rally.....note the UWR marubozo - yellow arrows - a good exhaustion candle, always worth watching out for these...

Here's my euro-yen trading this morning from a session swing perspective.

A 'fakey' down to pick up buy orders was a given so the action around spike up at around 5.35 was an obvious entry.

I thought initally that 112.55 would be the level to buy at but that was quickly contradicted. Price action just above 112.10 confirmed the buy.

GM - just to let those interested know that I will no longer be posting on a regular basis - I'm just finding it too distracting and my trading has suffered.

As I recently mentioned setting intra day targets and posted a couple of charts - here's what I'm using - its all about Fibonacci and based on work done some time ago by Bobokus and documented in his old thread. My adaptation just highlights the internal and external zones of importance and I'm looking for "levels" that are in or close to these zones. The 15 min chart works off yesterdays range and on my hourly chart off the weekly range - I hope you find these helpful.

On another "helpful" matter - my esotoric friend Chad found this useful tool "OneClick" that I'm now using - something I've wanted for some time.....

Good trading to all

GM Islander. We are going to miss you, but I appreciate your trading has to come first. In the meantime I have pages and pages of handwritten notes on your set-ups and comments to keep me going. Good luck with the longer term trading.

Congrats Islander please convince V to do the same (I haven't been able to). End of day summaries would still be appreciated.

All the best

Hi Islander

Was just wondering (I know you're not posting much on the 1 min anymore) but would have considered today a hard day to trade on the 1 min because I struggled wondering if you would agree or was it just me?

Thanks in advance.

Watching the falling 1m 150 ema around FO / LO gave some early pips and as usual, € was easier to trade and these days is moving as much if not more than cable...

GM - as requested, when I have time, I will post a chart or two.....these are 1 mins, but I'm also looking at the 15 min with my version of the fib tool to give me intra day target zones that will highlight potential "levels"

Also, I frequently pull a fib over the more recent action and its tighter DZ helps show the probability of the wider targets coming into play.....please ignore the blue / red lines on the right of the chart - these are my audio alerts

and cable.....as before, I require a 1 min HL or LH AND a break of the fast ema for a signal....obviously, when the fast and slow EMAs are in agreement, its a stronger signal....
