...keeping it simple with basic S/R and a nod to the RSI. 5min entries/exits, trailing stops under last confirmed support. No guesswork required.

Ok so the bounce on 200 EMA on 4H has taken us across the 200 EME on 5M, 15M. We are currently over the 200 EME on 30M but havent closed yet. If we close over I guess next target could be the 200EMA on the 1H.

Too bad I closed my long before the news. Now Im just waiting for this sucker to slow down.

Still don't understand though.....

Watch out longs, this is USD-Weakness and not GBP-Strength

the upmove had started off the 200sma-daily t/f before the data but it was heightened by the reaction to Uk data...and actually it doesn't matter what it is from a tech point of view,..there were more buyers than sellers, that is all we need to know, unless of course you are trading fundamentally or other non-tech analysis.

I dunno, set up was good for me, I went flat a while ago, leaving much moolah on the table. I recovered yesterdays loss, which was sizable and made some coin to boot, now I'm taking a break before I do something stupid with my regained confidence.

Only really started focusing on this pair this month. I've made more cable trades in August than I did in the last 4 years combined.

Starting from the fractal swing low on 1hr at yesterday's low, the 1hr has printed that as a LL, then a LH, LL, LH,LL, and now a H above those last 2 x HL and a third LH on that t/f...so mixed-bullish price action on that t/f now but still not an overall price action-peak/valley analysis uptrend yet.

Not shorting yet... Waiting for the 1H 200 EMA to see how it behaves there. Might scalp if we get there.

Morning all - here's my h4 chart - I've got it that we're currently bouncing between the upper and lower trend lines. Also coinciding with 38 and 50 fib I've got between 5123 and 5994.

Anyhoo, that's what I'm playing today...

Hi Chow Clown

Can I ask - did you enter that trade on the Support line, or when it passed the previous high?

Thanks!

I prepared this chart earlier today, but got busy and didn't have time to post.

http://www.shawntom.com/charts/100817_gbpusd_h4.jpg

Was looking like a perfect Gartley setup to me and I figured we needed to test the bottom of the ascending channel again(which we have broken back in to) if we are going down any further. Anything is possible, but my bias is for a run on the top of the channel.

http://www.shawntom.com/charts/100818_gbpusd_h4.gif

The price action at S1 and LTL, combined with the volume spike on M5, told me get ready to rumble. Nice quick trip from S1 to R1. It is nice when you can increase your account by 17% in under an hour while risking only 2%!

A deep retracement is not out of the question (nor is a continuation south), but I'll be waiting for clear evidence of sellers, before I try anything but scalp shorts.

Was there a news event to blame this on?
