Trend Trading Chart Thread

Just skimming my way through the 4 hour charts and came across one that looks a neat area for entering long. 50% retrace from the latest move up and round number at 0.7200, historical data shows reactions around this number, could be worth watching this one.

The TL you see is just a subjective one and was taken from 9th March 2009 to the most recent low 22nd Dec 2009 using a daily chart.

Dan, coolshades and anyone who would like to give an opinion are welcome to comment.
I have attached some of my charts and marked areas i think could be of interest with blue boxes, if price makes these areas and is rejected i think may be worth trading.
All comments are welcome.

coincidentally was looking at the bleeding same! current price also acted as a strong support around 4th jan.

This is another area of interest, although I see nothing other than a weakish support area, price tends not to close below 128.8 but has pushed considerably further, I can't place any decent fib there that would support a buy here. I would expect 127.0 as the next target area for a probable buy, just another area to keep our eyes on. The only problem I have here is, yet again the lack of a 50% fib for support.

I'm just thinking aloud here, feel free to chip in your reasons to buy or not.

Thats a strong bearish move going on look's like it's heading down to the 0.7050 area.
My thoughts on this pair tend to favour a sell in the 1.0450/80 area, my last two posts gave areas with no possitive areas for a trade, this pair looks a stronger probability. We have a nice inner daily trendline along with a round number close to the 50% fib retrace. I'll be looking to see just how much resistance this tends to give before committing any hard cash in a bid to sell.

Always a possibility, if the TL fails to hold, then I would expect it to make its way back down to the next support level at 0.7000 to 0.7050.
watching same pair and price/place.

i did have a long on this from 0250 ish which i closed for 100 pts, but that was off a different system.

Hi Vicky,

I think the 93.00 area was a good place to look for a sell entry so I agree with your direction/trade bias.

I don't really look to the weekly chart for trades so I am not qualified to suggest too much but I don't see why you couldn't trade this method on the weekly - it will just be a lot slower (not a bad thing) and you will need a bigger stop size.

I also am not a position scaler - I'm sure it can be done with some effect but for me it's too complicated! I like to keep things simple!

Have you tried trading the daily timeframe?...
Dan , I just found your thread abt a day or two ago while skimming through Jacko's thread. I havent tried trading this on daily. I will try for sure if I can find a setup which looks gud.

BTW, while looking at trades on daily should we include the confluence of the fibs (50%) with the TL ?? Or are we looking at just TLs to trade off?
I would ideally be looking for a buy, but there seems an opportunity to sell to the lower TL, not that I'm going to, just looked a reasonable place for a quick sell.

I think your charts are accurate if (and I don't know enough to comment) we are not still in continuation of measured moves(dn/up). There should be a bounce point somewhere, is it here?

Quite a bit of movement today, many of the pairs I watch have broken their TLs. Closed my previous order on this pair last night in the region of 149.00. Turned out to be a good plan. Waiting to see if this TL holds/what price action does for another buy.
Had a busy day working and actually missed the entry on this one in the end. However, seems to be working out quite nicely.

I'm looking at taking a short on USDCAD, subjective TL, but an exact two bar high off of the longer term 50% fib. Will see if the next 4hr bar closes short and then maybe go on a break of that or nearest round number.

Looks good, not quite a engulfing bar on my brokers charts yet, but the current one looks like it could end up being one.
on my charts fxdd-mt4, its a very nice double bottom.

i am staying off usdcad, since i am exposed to $ now on two trades.

Not a lot of movement either way on my USDCAD trade. However the daily is forming a big pin bar, which is a good sign. Posted from my PDA as I am at university today.
