Mate you may "regret" not loading bigger and holding that amazing 1.63xx entry ... Key 1.534x tested on the knee jerk reaction. Below is air and panic ...and if that happens is no retrace until things settle down ....as you know that can be a long way down hill ... Let see if we break down ...in my case sadly just crumbs there before and flat now ...

No regrets here, I'm happy to be alive and kicking... don't give me any thoughts

If Carney thought he will have a cushy , soft job......think again...

If the team is playing badly , the coach is the first to get fired.

He will " inherit " a real mess that will take time/small miracle to fix/turn around.

I don't know, how to search for it, but Gator made a post about 2 weeks ago, stating "5344 seems to be a sure thing"... from the back of my mind.
I haven't touched cable since the 5480s.
We have been talking with Gator about that 1.534x the last 2 years...all 3 times on the opposite sides (he was for the break, me for the fade). I don't know what is his view for this test but in my case this time I am not stepping long in its way ...no without some macro FA news ....

Let see how it goes but Weekly/Monthly break 1.534x opens 1.445x non stop TA wise...

I have a pending long at 1.25xx Target: 1.87xx

edit: 8 mins. for the next H4 to close. If not above, the small hands will most likely get squeezed.

On the matter of G/U... we are inside a huge mofu, mind that. The mid sits tight at 5271, the LM is at 5062.

1.254x to be exact ... lol mate .....

Doubt there are any small hands on that move. On the lows no small retail will be holding from last year and on the break intraday today, it was a knee jerk reaction on a unexpected details on the minutes which is way too fast & advanced and out of the brokers scope range of news coverage ...

Back to G/U again... I will watch the reaction on 5271 (huge mid) and 5129, which is the "real" target of my initial entry.
Why didn't I trade towards that one...? Because I just realized something that escaped me all the time.

It happens to all of us...but it gets better and better with time....sometimes we "overlook" things unconsciously to justify our fears ...."forget" about triggers and technicalities, trusting your trading plan and analysis is prolly the hardest thing to learn in this business...

Read on the news that the barstarts put horse meat in the burgers

On the other hand , some nations eat stranger things and seem to do well

Beef is just fine thx, would hate to find out I have been eating horse meat

Sometimes things even happen with a single glance... a tree that suddenly sticks out of the whole wood.

I need to find a way to verbalize what I see to get this straight for me.

I think, the free narcotics you get with the burger is much more of a problem. I don't like horse-meat myself, but all the colours... reminds me of my hippie-era.

UK in full control across the board since the news this morning. Cable selloff on air intraday in deep breach 1.534x (key level for W/M roll), FTSE leading equities with more free money and lower interest rate comments from the BOE (this with Japan is a hot air balloon...is trending on air without any macro numbers support... the next leg down will be a very very powerful and fast move down..) but the real deal is with NY. US equity markets raising the bid on the highs will be enough to trigger a nice domino move to final retrace targets across the board....All eyes intraday on ES yesterday highs for the closing range today.

Gold in second test of key and strong 159x while Oil and all currencies (except Sterling) moving as collateral trading chop. Risk noise is starting to come from the US debt side again. Just more BS from Dec US kicking can, but will be enough BS to trigger the now overdue pullback in equities. Tracking closely US equities today...on the rest, nothing new to see for now...
