EURUSD short @ 1.24735, price stalled at a weekly resistance level & psych level, TP is 1.2551. Been in bed almost all day due to having zero sleep last night, feckin' hayfever!

Anyway lets see what happens.

SL is now at break even and was hit.

Went short cable at 5610 yesterday afternoon, all the way down to 5565 - Maximum leverage, 1 000 000, 1/4 of a % deposit of just over two k - CMC Markets - Touch down this afternoon. £4389.

With 5650 being a long shot over the last week let alone 5670 ^, given a quiet 1/2 week on the data front for sterling and the ever persistent rumbling squabbles coming from the euro zone etc etc she was always going to at least test downward again.

With a target level safely away from key support I struggle to think of a safer bet.

EURUSD I'll be looking to go long around 1.2475 or 1.25 depending on PA and it would be nice to see 1.27 by end of today after the monkeys in charge at the EU summit talk nonsense!!

me too. I also long at daily pivot 1.2495 while SL @ BE is hit.
My HTF trend (H4) is down. what's your opinion about the main trend?
Follow the smart money. Follow the probability.

the daily pivot on my chart is 1.2473, not really sure about overall trend, the 4hr looks like it was gonna reverse and make an upmove however this latest bar from resistance @ 1.2522 is rather big.

too big. SL hit -10.

I think this move is just a stop hunt before a big move north, I'll be waiting for a nice inside bar with an even nicer inverted hammer on the end of it or even a spinner.

But then again, I'm wrong some of the time

Evening boys,

I grabbed a quick +12 mid FH from 25125 to 2500. But totally missed the little 1-2-3 at 2500 as we were bouncing between that and the DP.

Quite a nice drop to miss

Grabbed a quick CT +13 at Demand area on RB5 coinciding with S/R on H4. Was a 2B reversal but I entered earlier than meant to (and exited earlier too).

Scalped a fair few pips on gbpusd this morning, 70 in total, who says trading the 1m timeframe can't be profitable? its all about making the correct entry.

Also short EURUSD @ 1.25949. SL is currently @ break even on that.

I've just closed that trade @ 1.2566. +28

98+ pips for the day so far.

Hi GDR3k. Many congrats on the results this week. First class reading of the charts. I assume from your posts that you use 2 different indi's to provide S&R levels. Could I please ask what they are as I can't seem to find the one that gives the levels with the title(s) 'resistance 1', 'support 1' etc. Keep up the posts.

Keep on pippin!
