{quote} Gotta love that. Question is, I don't know when you drew that chart you just posted, but it has 50%, but you were bullish from the morning...I guess it's not a question since it's a daily, but nice call as always.
It's 4h

Shorted at 307 for a few.
Really. I was hoping for another half swing up, keeping an eye glued to the 5mn here.

Yup, noticed after, thought it looked funny for a daily that inverted hammer.

Anyway, looking at 075 bid and holding for another shot up here.

That angle on that TL up and very little red showing on the 5mn says more strength still to me.

Missed my entry short by 1 pip (1323 on my charts but ±1309 on yours) - already retraced to where my TP would have been so order withdrawn.

I moved to BE+20 and locked it, rather than take 27 now, have been allowing myself to get whipsawed like crazy, so instead I thought I'd hold and try to catch a intraday trend rather than a scalp. Trying to undertrade here, rather than overwhelm myself. 125 bid now. Moving stop up to 05 now.

Still waiting, maybe my bad. Manual stop around 315.

Closed at 313, lost a few.

We still have a pretty steep angle on that TL run up, not as steep as 15 minutes ago, but still all bullish candles, not sure if this is going to do a reaction PB this time, I think it's going to consolidate a little before it decides what to do next. So far we have 10 bullish 5min candles from that bottom hammer. Not sure what it's looking like on the other charts, just have a 5mn spread wide open only right now.

Just moved stop to 1.1319

That 5 mn trendline up shows no sign of backing off yet, I'm just trailing beneath each major 5 min candle or minor SR level. Now trailed at 25.

I just moved stop up just below 35, if they retrace past half that last big 5mn candle it's theirs, I locked 55p on that one, best single scalp since I started this journey scalping adventure a few weeks ago.

Anyway they hit it. I really need to get back to coding MT4 like I wanted to a few days ago, it's impossible scalping and coding at the same time. I need to program a trade assistant to pre lock an SL and TP as soon as I place an order, I got burned for more pips than I wanted within a minute on a trade several days ago and also lost out on a couple quick 10p trades because I wasn't on top of it, so I'm thinking of putting in pre SL and TP for the server and adjusting them after I'm in and if I neglect to adjust, I'm still on the safe side, anyway, I'm done for today. Good luck all.

Long at 1342 (1328 on your charts) - reason, first pullback after a strong impulsive move - entry placed at 21 EMA. TP 8 pips, SL break and retrace below ema.

BTW, the level of 1.1323 was posted by seahorse, who has been ON IT the last few days, I need to go back and check the other days too, but I started noticing those numbers accuracy a few days ago.

The closest numbers I had close to that level, which I had not posted but are auto posted on my chart every morning, were 20 and 27.

Anyway glad it worked for you, seems like last couple of days it's working out for you. Awesome.

I'm looking at my 5mn and it just took out the bottom of the last manic 5mn candle up. I don't have emas posted this morning. but it *may* retrace back from 25? Hope it works out.
