I thought EU might turn before 3550 -60 area - and suggested 3570 -75
Well low was 3574 - at 10 56 am - just prior to the hr change and from then onwards it started its turn up again.
andrac mentioned the 30 min rules - yes - any time a interim low or high is not breached within 30 mins - that the favours the the next 30 mins more of a turn
A low or high can then be breached after 60 mins if it going to be - and so this is why its important to note price in relationship to the nearest interim highs and lows every approx 30 mins
It never dropped under 7010 and now at 7022 - I have taken my 30% stake on the scalp buy off for 15 pips net
Finished over 2 hrs ago but thought it was worth leaving that one on
Above 7014 its still in scalp buy mode after any pullbacks - but would sooner have my money in my account now - as first day of the new week - and need pips and pound notes on the board
Just noticed - we have had over a quarter of a million page reads on this thread in less than 8 months - not too bad.
I think now all members must know - i am not selling anything - but intraday trading can be so boring - and at times you need to be motivated to perform - ie part of the disciplines.
Otherwise many days I would only trade for an hour or two and be happy with only 30 -50 pips - instead even though my daily target is 50 pips - on good active days - and trading over a 10 -12 hr window - it is possible to do 150 -250 pips - with most of the trades under 20 pips.
To cover a 10 -12 hr trading window from European Open to US afternoon - you need company and motivation etc - this thread helps me to keep focused etc
Classic time trade for a start on EJ - from 6 21 am - start of the half hr time window.
It became a scalp sell at 138 60 - after it posted a LH from 63. at approx 61
Price had been rising for over 3+ hours - but only approx 20 pips and the instead of testing a previous interim high of 68 - price prints the 2 LH's- with the second one being the ideal sell
So far only made 53 - with interim supports at 49 -51.
Maybe we can look for another scalp buy around this area as I do expect it to try higher again.
OK - back to the review and updates on main pairs I plan to trade today
Same scalp sell set up as the EJ atm - from 6 21 am and approx 3596.
I am not in this trade - as preferred the EJ one - as normally the EJ moves more - even if it is an extra 0 3 or 0 5 of a pip extra spread with my brokers.
The EU posted LH's most of yesterday - but then later on did post a HH at 3605 against a previous interim level of 3601/2
The test will be if we do see now any LL's - ie we have so far 3503 - then 15 and 20's and 30's and 40's
From 3550 we had a 3565 and this week 3575 - 81 and latest 3591.
For me a breach under 3575 and then 65 and 50 would show the EU is turning lower again and may try the 3500 support area again.
Whilst above 65 and 75 - I still see further tries up again - even above the current high at 3643/4.
Price currently at 3593 - and now trying to turn up again
I will wait for scalps on EU - as present movements are still in a tight range of 92 to 97 - and we need to really breach out of this 5 pip range first
