So 6300 was the November high and IF it holds, the next target is the 2010 High set in January at 6450......

So far, all green 5 min candles since the equal low in FH, so part still open with a trail now at 6315

Nice Islander, I missed was attending to other rubbish. I also have 6370 as place to watch being the D candle bodies of the high you refer to as opposed to the wick.

We'll see I think I have missed big time here. Won't be the last time that happens.

Hi V - pity, they were easy pips http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon9.gif as were the earlier ones.....

I was late up - we've now dropped 15º since the weekend and its a Fiesta too, so leaving a warm bed took some doing http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon11.gif However, I did my homework and updated S&R levels and was ready for the retest of the Days Open area.

After the ~70 pip rally, the retest of the 6325 high gave a few short pips before the snap back bounce off the 85 level now as support. The UK Mfg PMI was spot on with estimates and Net Lending was up, so good news....TWT

entered long after EU hit daily PP and got confirmation on 5 min.

Thought also that momentum will carry EJ to 114.00 surrounding after breaking trend line but it did not. closed for -5 pips before news than reentered again thinking of momentum, but it looks like there is no one, so, closed trade at BE after more than 30 min just before I am leaving.
EJ hard;ly resembl;es itslef 6 months ago as I remember it. It has become very slow getting stuck in all these weekly daily trend lines and s/r areas. GU seems heading to open price level. But I have to go.

today's trades so far:

Psych-line trade. A breach of xx50, then a retrace to the MA zone and finally a shooting star indicating a high-probability drop. An additional filter was the TL which suited the situation admirably.

Early in the US session we've had 2 more tests of the 6253 level - I bought the last one and later I'll post an interesting volume chart which highlights this level....

I'm waiting to see how far this swing goes before the US data in half an hour

Price stalled in the resistance area of the Asian Highs, just below 6300 and I banked.

Here's a 15m chart with both normal volume and a Market Profile volume indy. As we can see, this gave 6253 as yesterdays PointOfControl - the highest cumulative volume level.

The grey shaded box is the area in which 70% of each days trades have taken place by volume......

Morning, folks.....

Psych-line trade. Small TL which forms a confluence with xx00. Price breaks through almost precisely at this point. Entry and exit as shown.

EV, I was watching it too, but time limit . I do not enter trades this time as I am leaving
Picked few pips earlier on E/J when it broke above open price. target was pivot point but after it bounced down from 113.00 i quickly closed the trade for 15 pips. it still hit my target.

Nice grab, mate. You must leave very early for work?

Another psych-line trade, aided by a rising wedge pattern. The pattern formed right across xx00 and the MA zone. Entry below the low of the break-out candle and a quick exit at around the xx75.

This trade (my last of the day, probably) was initiated by a symmetrical triangle, and the spinning-top (blue square) right on xx00. Entry slightly above the high of the break-out candle and exit as price started retreating from its high.

Yeah, unfortunately, start getting ready at 5:30 a.m. EST and leave at 6:00.
Market seems to be very timid during London open not like before. It looks like warming up just by the time I am leaving.

I was watching this set up too during break, but thought that ATR is not enough and did not pull the trigger. well done!
I actually do not like to trade New York especially after London closes.
Always timid at this time.

This one is excellent looking set up. I did not notice it.
You went against the trend but I see it really was a bearish flag after failure to break round number. You are a pip machine man
