the usd is tight tight tight.........and has been since we called the top of USD around 11 am today.............

since then the usd index has stayed inside a +/- 8 pip range ..........compare that to the earlier 50-60 pip move up beforehand and you see the issues of trying to trade usd pairs where the usd I not contributing much.......... unless you catch it right on the turns.............not for the fainthearted .......that's gambling

In my list of clues - I look for ideally over 4 or 5 main clues all saying that same direction for a pair

That's why correlation alone might only count as between 10% and 30% for my decision making

I know you have been looking at approx 50/50 on scalping with chart TA on the actual pair as one half of the equation - but you might have to review and reduce it to between 20 and 40% instead

Then actual chart structure of price on a one minute change given more consideration

Only an idea but that isolated EU buy dump was spot table in the 9 mins leading up to the hour change and the main 5 main initial rise

AJ and GJ up to 30 pips in 10 min, "Thats what scalping is about!!!" yeeee haaaaa

Clues for AJ scalp = Desc triangle formed from 1:30pm ish, two previous tests at level 93.53 (1:49) and (2:32) on the third try all my lr's were over price, just approached time window, switched to my 1 sec chart to confirm entry then clicked sell at 2:48pm (93.52), just out side time window but felt confident with trade, 4pip stop. RR 1:5ish

You are right those two beasts are real movers

Surprised they moved that much with the GU staying fairly flat at the time - but then that's the markets playing and trying more deceit etc

Cheers feel flattered - but you probably tell me you got this from major magnum : -)) lol
