Hi emacro,

I think AUD/USD is looking interesting right now on 1H chart. I like breakouts, but I like them more when they are in accordance with the direction of bigger trend. I have personally set a buy triggger above the 1H swing high with a stop loss below the 1H swing low.

Cheers,

Hi
Thanks for the input, always good to hear from other trendliners.

Do you use higher TF to determine trend eg 4hr or daily?

Yea, I take a quick glance of Daily and 4H, or simply zoom out 1H chart to get a larger view. Diagonal lines are great. They allow you to catch a bouncing point or a turning point.

Hi emacro,

Look at Cable. On the 4H chart below, it has broken the trendline upward. Some people may be a bit long-biased right now.

Also, look at the 1H chart. It has made an interesting hook and the lower tip of the hook touches the high of the previous swing move. So the upward breakout may make an interesting move.

This is the fickle nature of the m5... With the other pairs falling, cable is dragged down.

After how many pips of break do you count it as a breakout?
