    It sure is, closed out my short at 1.4570 for 80 pips profit and went to bed early last night, boy am I glad I did, long term seems bearish still but 1.50 is a real possibility in the short term.

    I'm still holding long since 4530. It's a cross tend rally off the daily/weekly chart. I'm watching the 4800 area right now. That is where prior support was at. Then we can guage how shallow the drop back to teh 46xx/45xx area is from there.
    Trade what you see, not what you think. Act on what is happening right now.

    Update on GBP/USD Short position

    Bias is short but more upside to come. As per chart notes, no new shorts until line break.
    The patterns shown are smaller patterns within a larger one (4hr chart previously posted). Next full target is still 1.3940

    Charts are never wrong, but the chart reader often is.

    what are you looking at right now djindy? we hit downtrend line from 5500.. strong resistance at 4750 pushed as back big time but we got some support at 4670-80 area.. theres still room for up but im not quite confident if we go lower than 4670 before more up..

    thanks

    Non Farms

    closed a long placed at 4627 yesterday with Limit order at 4725, 98 pips!
    I still have a small position long, sitting tight for now til Non Farms tomorrow.
    Price is likely to stay within tight range til then. When significant S/R breaks will re-evaluate, may look at some entry orders above or below S/R whatever the case may be.

    There is still support off of 4550 / 4600 area. We have not made a higher high today.. Today could be the failed new high. More information will be revealed after todays daily bar closes.

    by failed new high, does this suggest we could be on reversal already and might not get to 48004900 anymore? im looking to establish a long for one last pop up to 4800-4900, but considering the development it seems better to just stand aside for the moment i suppose..

    thanks

    Hello Dave, I mentioned you on this latest video. Thanks for the feedback.

    I had a busy morning as I was able to close 31 trades in pretty short order all on GBP/USD. Most of the trades were closed before the start of the video. I believe GBP/USD can go lower, however, anything can happen and I would not want to overstay my welcome!

    Still waiting for the other 4 trades to close. Will post those results later on.

    I gave a little walk through on how to access the new DailyFX+ course.
