again this is a highly aggressive scalp trade....the higher TF's are neutral so I am really tenuous here ..... and GAMBLING on a very early retrace north on the dow .....
 
and please please realise I am using my own bespoke systems and indicators on this trade that are derivatives of th 20ma systems below but not the same by a mile.....so dont look necessarily for this trade on whatever the system below is doing
 
tigjhten tighten....the momentum has not gone as planned..I will be stopped at b/E soon
 
ok...I get lucky again and am now gonna let it run up hopefully

Luck ?

1) I am on the dominently strongest 5min currency (the GBP)
2) I see a weakening of Yen and USD off a retracing Dow north
3) I trade it tight and fast

hmmmmm

actually my 5min 20ma setting on the Free indicator below is pretty supportive of my trade as well........

i'm chasing the GBP strength rather than to much focus on the weakness of the Yen and USD or even the strength of the Dow !

HUGE pressure on the Dow now as we go back on 1 hour sell trend..........
 
struggling here ..........I've missed 10 easy pips on e/U already ......now I wait till i get below 12490 on the Dow futures
 
see.....my systems are very dynamic ........the price is normally not a relevant issue.... so I put a marker down as enty point....... but can then ignore it if sixth sences says NO !!!
