Stop loss too big for my liking, if it retraces to around 1.4419 I will try a long from there.

What should I use if I want to trade mostly daily TF, sometimes H4 TF?

It seems like most people trade M15, M30, the max H1.

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Well yesterday was, frankly, annoying.

Wake up today and discover that cable has swept up 100 pips. Grrrr.

There really isn't a whole lot ahead of her to slow her down either. It's at the 61 fib for the down swing but there's no way i'd be betting on a short against this move so time to sit on my hands for now with regard to GU.

I have to admit, I get confused with all these lady's titles for the pairs. "The Mrs", "The mistress", "the temtress" etc.

So for yesterday and this morning's antics, i'm calling cable "the devious bitch"!

There is a head and shoulders forming on H4 here.

I'm not sure I like the big run up to the right shoulder though but i do like the slight lower low that's been made. I only post this as price is stalling around the right shoulder area right now. Very 50/50 this so just one to be mindful of.

Higher TF and M15 in sync here. I saw this candle formation as confirmation so took the short. Normally don't like counter trend entries a great deal but this one was comfortable.

I enter on Oanda which is why you'll never see my entry on the MT4 charts.

This pin has my attention. While I am kinda looking bearish after the triple top, we didnt come back yet to retouch the TL which can happen quiite often. Price has bounced off the 200EMA, Stochs turning up, pin bar is very nice also. Trade set for a break, looking at 25-30 pips before looking at the retest of the underside.

PS thanks Captain for the reply earlier
