Went for a walk with the wife and neglected to move stop to BE before I left so what should have been would have been a plus 1 pip BE turned into a minus 6.5 pip loss. So if my tally is correct, I'm back up to a 22.1 pip loss on the day so far.

I've reversed back long at 1.12128 see if it blows past 1.1220 this time. Looks as if they've decided to hold 1.12 so my target is 1.1172 plus 50 and plus 100. 60p from OR high would be about 1.1260

Well well, good idea to start an alternative thread, feels refreshing.
Currently holding long from 50% of that bullish h1 candle - 200.
Taking some profit now (lack of strength), rest running at BE +1, targeting 230 +- 2p.

There are different ways to compute it, one is the actual HL range from 00:00 to 8:00 or 9:00 your choice. The others are variations of pivot point formulas using the pivot +/- 15 pips.

There are merits of both methods. Choose yours.

thank you

that looks like it could be a huge miss. that forecast is way higher than all of the others and the trend is to the upper side. could we have another blow up?

Anything could happen.

The price continues to move inside the high and low of the green candle about 40 pips, trying to form a channel.

Some options:
Waiting for the breakout up or down.
Waiting for the retest after the breakout.

The KzX master...230 hit. I was going for 31 close enough. A few profit pips for the day.

They cut me off at BE, had to reload few pips higher but still, went as planned, reversed at target for standard pullback, cashed out, now flat, looking at other pairs as something's cooking up.

So you nailed about another extra 5 shorting at 28 area? Today's levels as you do them...a little tighter OR, but in hindsight the lower OR tested and held should have loaded and kept at 85 after that 3rd bounce, but being in the thick of it is scary at times, still not used to this at all...I made this indie EA that uses standard pivots and then allows for manual HL entry to come up with exact plus/minus levels and 7.5p middle SR areas. I'm trying to figure out how to get it to grab HL as of 8 am or 9 am...(btw do you use 8 or 9 am as your OR cutoff time?)

If it's too tight, stretch it up to a round number. To me the opening range was 170-200, next level above - 230.

Btw. nice divergence on RSI m15 (I wouldn't bet my life on it)

For others to see in regards to levels used today by KzX...stretched OR 1.1170 to 1.12 (30pips to round numbers)

PS: if he ever gives out SR levels prior to day's main action starting, I recommend you take heed...his levels are spot ON many times to the pip or within 3 pips at most.

Fixed now, thanks.

Indies for scalping, yes. For mid term trades, no indies (1hr,4hr).

The only thing that doesn't let me to keep trades longer is gold however it's close to nice R.
