Hey Trotty, what broker feed are you running as I dont have the pin on my h4?
Dude you need to have different 4 hour charts!

I use MB Trading, ATC Brokers, and TadawulFX, for 3 different 4 hour closes. I want a 4th but can't find a broker with the right times!

Also just grabbed a short here on EJ but not sure if I like it.

Good luck!
Cheers, off to bed. Made a quick 15 pips off the GBP/JPY 15m pin bar which make the EUR/USD at worst a 3 pip looser with SL in play. Have moved TP to below the last swing low 4360 which if this thing decides to tank then it can be my guess, ill count the spare change tomorrow morning and perhaps contemplate taking the day off work

Night all

Well that's probably your problem, not trading enough so you are getting rusty! Get back in the game. Don't you have kids to feed?

EUR USD still has more upside building up, so not sure about that EJ short, not until asian session anyway.

Also EJ 119.27 is 50 fib of 50 fib of the major upward movement, so I'd skip that level, since it's acting as support now, so only a clean break below will signal a short trade, however EJ and GJ do look very nice ineed, considering the possible downside play.

Can you please read the PDF's and the FAQ on the first page. This thread is about a specific system and style of trading, one that uses MA's and not fibs.

I do not want this thread to turn into the Cable thread with everyone posting their ideas using different systems.

I don't think you fall into that category Trotty. Looks to me like you are trading in the theme of this thread.

Right now the jury is deciding your punishment. At the moment we're talking banishment to Ken's thread.

I'll have to get back with you when it's finalized.

Bailiff, take this individual to the holding cell.
