Didn't think the EURUSD IB at 18:30 (GMT) was going to go anywhere. After a fairly strong start and then reverse, it's finally moving 4 hours later... Having looked at the two bars preceding this, perhaps I shouldn't have been surprised as it's ...

Compressed Guppy — Missed out on a trade today, at the purple line. All the indicators were fine, but I thought that the GMMA was not compressed enough in the first pic below. Obviously, given the short trend, it was fine (pic 2). So, when ...
