EURUSD printed 1.08 (6th day in a row) but no higher
EURUSD 20 min Once again 1,2,3 perfect. 21 pip I will admit : now I watch 4 same charts on different time frames waiting for this signal. I still have a problem with the “retest”, but it is getting under my skin lately.

I was just asked how do you know there is a real money sell order in the JPY?
