{quote} I will more likely not even considering the buy button before we see 1.2450 - 1.2500 area.
Even tho this 1.2570-1.2550 is quite an important area in weekly...
Let's just see how will develop
Eventually could see some bounces

I would jump all OVER the buy button at 1.2450, but I don't expect to get that opportunity anytime soon. Right here (around 1.2590) you're sitting on major moving average support levels on the hourly, 4-hour, and daily charts, as well as being already a bit below the daily pivot S3 level. More short-term, on the 5-minute chart the candle with the highest volume of trading in the past couple of hours is a bullish pin bar closing at 1.2591. And again, you've got other major pairs such as Eur/Usd and Aud/Usd just short of actually being up for the day. To me, that reads as a lot of different reasons for a lot of different buyers to come in at this level, and a very low likelihood of the market dropping another 150 pips.

In any event, I guess we'll find out.

(shrug) I don't know - maybe my pivots are confused.
But at this point anyway, I'm okay with having bought some more Gbp/Usd at 1.2589, even though the bears still have command of the field for the moment. It's one of those trades that may or may not work out, but I'm only risking 15 pips on it, and I find that it's a lot easier to pull the trigger when you've got original long positions from 1.2050 - I can afford to take a few chances. If I weren't already in this market, I'd probably be a lot more hesitant to enter long here.

Thanks BB very interesting.

I think we are on the same page but tell the story a bit different as probably we all do.

This is the status of my 30 min chart, I have left off a few of the smaller trades to keep the chart clean.

From this point on I have no idea from the 30 min chart where price is heading so I have to either drop down charts or even move up charts until I can find a legitimate signal.

If I drop down then the targets become smaller and are quicker to execute.

If I move up the target is bigger and takes forever to execute.

So I find the 30 min to be just right and trade these signals at the 1 minute level by taking advantage of the pull backs and such.

Sorry I have nothing to add but was wondering if i could get help.

I take it that signal for direction of the pair is now shifting and any trade needs confirmation before it can be placed?

Or

Trades can be placed in the lower time frames for scalping moves. With over all direction shown by higher time frames for long term direction?

Hi amr sorry but for some reason I cannot respond to the private message you sent, there seems to be a glitch with my replies.

Normally I wait for a signal on the 30 minute chart and then trade that direction on the 1 minute chart.

The trick is to know how and where to draw the lines from specific points.

By the way the webinars end next week, sorry. However I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

ROFL - Not really much point in stopping myself out at 1.2574 if I have a buy order sitting at 1.2571, is there?
Sometimes the right side of my brain forgets what the left side decided to do earlier.

Consider how fast they could blow bears out of this market and roll a major short covering rally here.
Glad I had that order to buy at 1.2571 - won't lose any more coins on that one now.

These are interesting.

We have a failure here to hit the target so it generally makes it on the opposite side.

If it cannot make it to the top either then it is stuck in a range.

Thank you for the response. I understand. Would it be possible to use some other means to 'pick your brains'.

How would i access the remaining webinars?

I would like to learn that particular trick.

Thanks again.
