finger off the trigger

Heads up: US Personal Spending 13.30 gmt: Consensus 0.7.

Could this be one of those reporting days where one should have stayed out of the market until after the report announcement ( Like NFPayrolls)?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but what are the signals on your chart?

Thanks

Hi,

On the chart I posted, you will see red down (sell) arrows and blue up (Buy) arrows. They are my signals produced by a custom indicator that I use.

They seem to track 5 and 10 period SMA crossovers (on the 5 minute chart you posted)

There would appear to be an error with the 2nd entry for GBP/USD - SL is above entry for the buy (have these numbers been transposed?

5 and 10 EMA to be precise.

Possibly.. they weren't posted by Hans... he must be off today or something.

Yes I see what you mean, should be 1.7624 shouldn't it?

I have neutral here so no trade - if anything it may go short again. In hindsight I should have put my trailing stop in - but no damage done.
