GBPUSD — Hi Igmal, It does look like there is strong buying support. Why do you say Monthly doesn't agree with weekly? My monthly chart attached. Does look trending down. I feel Boss is still down until it forms a HH (1.55?). Cheers

GBPUSD — SL is at 1.5013, just above the SS (100 pips). Targeting 1.48 which is a support on my chart. Following in Strat's footsteps, I ignore all 'funnymentals'. When the price moves according to the fundies, everyone has a smug comment; ...

Big Boss MA's — I think it is just a logical extension. 100ema on the boss would be approximately 20 ema on the big boss considering a month is 4.5 weeks. If you are using MT4, you will have them on the chart anyway unless you are using 3 ...

Boss Trend — Hi Strat, Isn't the Boss already aligned with the Big Boss as it is trending down since beginning of May? Is it necessary for the 20 to be below 50 before we say the trend is down? Confused.

Boss Controlling Candle — Hi Flem26, I can't find a Boss Controlling candle either on GBP/JPY. Isn't a controlling candle one whose High/Low has not been taken out? Last week's candle seems to be in control now. Could it be due to a difference ...
