Post your decluttered GBPUSD markup
Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2026 11:11 am
Cable charts have a way of getting messy. It's a pair with clear levels and sharp moves, so people keep adding lines: Asia high and low, Frankfurt open, the previous day's levels, round numbers, fibs, last week's swing points. By Wednesday the chart has 20 horizontal lines and every price is "near a level".
Proposal for this thread: post a screenshot of your GBPUSD chart as you actually trade it, after cleaning it up, with a short note on what each element is for.
A useful format:
- Timeframe shown.
- List of what's on the chart and why it earns its place.
- One thing you removed recently and whether you've missed it.
To get it started, a minimal version that many London traders end up close to:
- Previous day high and low.
- Asia session high and low.
- The 08:00 UK open price.
- One round number nearest to price.
- Nothing else on M1, maybe a 50-period average on M15 as a bias reference.
Lines are deleted at the end of each day unless they're still relevant.
Please show times in UK time and keep broker names out of the screenshots if you prefer.
