{quote} Just look at the chart, not the data, we're before FED, EU is SUPER bearish after those two massive Daily candles. I tried to warn you that you should be careful with longs today, this 'trend' was stinky as the retraces were too big. I posted in the other thread, 3 weeks ago, what may happen in October, it's materializing so far.
i woke up late and forgot to read early comments.. i missed that warning.. i'll try to be careful from now.. Thank you..
Dont trade like me..

Lost out of opportunity pips in the bag once again because of greed, but last hour has been prime for quickie scalps. Up 20p with 4 up/downs.

Long @ 44.5 from 27 min after the hour.

Another long at 48. SL at 41. This could be the one that moves beyond 1.11 tonight. Then again.

Hmm...
For me, 41 was good place to enter long. Right on 61.8 retrace of m15 wave.

Sorry just got this, just woke up. At that time, it was a retrade of a previous quick long scalp. I also came in about 2 to 3 minutes later than ideal. 41 was a pip below a custom arb indie that was giving me the signal. Unfortunately I ignored it went to sleep on it and got stopped out instead of a quickie 4 to 5p profit.

testing a new (new for me) daily pivot points lines indie that I found here on FF.
Today's levels based on it:

73 R2
61 R1
--------------------------
1.1048 Proj Mid
----------------------
36 S1
24 S2


EDIT: I'm long at 36.6, I tweaked the pivots and got this instead...Stopped and reversed short at 31 -5.6p
The next support pivot is at 14

62 R2
54 R1
--------------------------
1.1046 Proj Mid
----------------------
30 S1
14 S2

-2.8p on the last one. It did not go for the lower support line at 14 and instead went back above the mid support line.

Going long at 33.8 with a very tight stop at 29

-4.9p my timing and direction is bass ackwards today. Looks like were headed for the lower support at 14 NOW.

Good thing I didn't reverse short again. Time to not trade.

I know that you live in that weird timezone unfortunately that's the problem, Asia session is not good for scalping.

Yup, it's already early eve here by the time NY is kickin it's sleep time.

At least I ripped one here at 34.7...I have to use the 15m early market hours to avoid whips...during NY which is late for me, 1 mn and 5mn..

Used a 1mn dot graph to close it at 54.8 .... everything this morning back and more

Trying to strip my charts of everything except what I really need.

Went short at 54.1 stopped at -.3 less than half a pip. Trailed to BE 30 seconds too quickly.

Another short shot at 49.2 if it doesn't breach the proj daily mid pivot I'm out.

Tired of getting fooled by live forming candles and wicks while trying to scalp. I know it looks weird but fewer decisions and whipsaws with this, the active bar moves but I can't anticipate a candle pattern in the active bar because there is none, only the active last price and an average of the last two bars...

Still holding waiting for break of mid, probably would have reversed mid trade if I was looking at candles.

OK Broke mid, now moved to BE+1 and saying "go to the S1 and S2 lines now"

They took me at BE+1...Giving one more short shot at 45.5 .... it's iffy I know. Close SL undisclosed. They got me at -2.5p. Tired now. Break. I made a critical mistake on that stop placement....forgot to add the spread...was using the bid prices on the chart and they touched with the spread. I would still be in the trade and my stop would be lower now. Amateur error, that one I haven't done for at least 3 to 4 weeks.

Line chart is better if you want to avoid candle crap on 1m.

Circles are in hindsight, but you can filter some out with the rsi while still live.
