An area i'm watching on EU. Pushing very hard north this morning after printing railroad tracks around London open. I will watch price action around the black circle as we have an intraday trendline, 50 fib and the area where it gapped down from last week all there. I won't bet against this strong push in a heartbeat though.

Entry missed my area by about 2.5 pips and is moving south now.

Time to search for the next area.

It looks as if the EURUSD is marching towards the 62MA, and I guess some dudes are ready to cock their rifles, and ready to pull their triggers for Southern region.

Hi mate. I tried to figure out what you meant here but it made a small part of my brain run away and join the foreign legion.

Any chance you could clear up what you mean and i'll gladly give you some feedback

Here is a 15m gbp/usd chart. Notice how price reacts to the 35ma. I always like to be trading what ever direction price is in relation to the 35ma. If it is above it I like to be long and below it I like to be short. I have to run but I will be back later tonight to answer any questions you guys may have. Trade well!!

I believe he is referring to the 15 min bullish bar I highlighted. And from what i can gather he went short after the close of the bar. Im not very good with 35/50 cross trades so.....yeah

I'm still learning this method myself, but I looked at that at the time and glancing at the 1hr it had tried to beat the earlier low and failed, it then turned into a bullish candle at the bottom which put me off of looking for a short until seeing something more bearish, the 15min also had a bullish engulfing at the bottom.

Looks like we have a pin forming on the GU daily. Naturally it's not done painting yet but a pin it is now.

At a strong area of PPA as well. . .

Technically I guess it's more like a doji right now . . .

Yes definitely a doji. I will keep taking longs above 5980, and I will be short below it targeting 5850ish.

No bro, I will probably wake up around the GBP news time and then take a look at the 4hr candle close to see what is going on.

What's everybody thinking? I'm going to take an EU short here as long as it stays below the m15 50's.

I am long from here on gbp/usd at the 1.5980 support area and looking to take profit at the 1hr 200sma and 4hr 200sma area which are 1.6169 and 1.6160 respectfully.The 1.6025 area may cause some problems but we will see.

How do I get all three of my charts to show in an attachment as you did in a previous screen? I have them set up just like you on my charts but can only get it to save one chart at a time.

The pin circled in blue on the 4hr really is what I was looking at.I like the next bull candle. Waited for it to come back and test the 1.5980 area and took it long. Now I just hope it holds .

Thought I was confused for a minute because I didn't see a pin on mine

But see you have Interbank feed while I have a FXDD feed. My 4hr candles close at 5pm, 9pm, 1am est, etc, etc.
