I like 0963 for the flip. Close to the mid point for your (2?) Flip lines there. 1059+803/2=931 so similar line.

Sisse,

regarding GU, do you mean that since it failed to reach 1.4105, so we can expect it to move up against the USD for some time now? How should I understand the "W roll"?

Very nasty day in US equities killing the simple ride for this week. Keeping a very close eye at S&P 2050.xx holding the W close will SET the low of this month as early as tomorrow.

sisse, Starting over.......here is my simple and best attempt.......
What is "beginning of flip" ....you see thats your problem I just hinted you to keep it simple and plot 3 lines ...you plotted 4 ...why you complicate things before mastering the basics first.

Hint, in a range a flip should be whipsawed in and out many times ...THATS THE NATURE of a RANGE ...don't try to chart fitted to hold to the tick because it wont.... "In a range you trade from the outside to the inside, avoiding the center...etc etc" Why? because in a range the flip will attract value to both sides creating CHOP !!! ..thats why you avoid trading that area ...

Long EU 1366 risking 5. FED closed meeting in few days, defenetly not a good sign for hiking policy. Perhaps a turn, dont know but last two closed meetings created significant change in monetary/WallStreet policy. In either case eyes on May/June FOMC thats where the trigger time comes.

Eyes on US equities, S&P @ 2050.xx for the closing range. 2100.xx on sight for the FED minutes ... On the rest of the board, no surprises, UJ rolling, Euro uneventful and OIL sitting at key 36.5x [check] for those aiming for the extended leg ... sisse

...and I will take that in a nice ride. For those in the OIL trade, clearing first main target on the test $39.1x.

On the rest of the board, NY with the upper hand to close the week. Imminent break up alerts in Euro in play. NY to kill the week or play ball until Europe goes home.

Hello Sisse,

First of all I thank you for all the effort and time you put in here.

I am posting my part of exercise that I am trying to do, please have a look. Also with regard to the other exercise, I am on the buy side of it, we are still in that range since last Friday.

Here is my WEEKLY chart with 3 LINES. The Beginning of the FLIP line was to show you that I see that line (LEVEL) as having merit and possibly the start of another MOVE DOWNWARD. But, I have labeled my FLIP line and hopefully, I found the correct level. Its been a level we have talked repeatedly about for months. Thanks

EURUSD price action shows bears strength to hammer rallies but bears won't hold long enough ...if it blows north ...it's going to be a bloodbath even 1.149x won't hold the upside momentum wise !

A lot better...

Tip for both (sadly the gourmetrader site is off and I cant find the archive). Add a small but important next TA step down to the pure price action ladder:

--> Understand the difference between a level and an area. In general there is Support and Resistance Levels but there are also Support and Resistance Zones. The former is the reference of a level but the ladder are the ones that will allow you to fade or break with more confidence in a limited range for pulling the trigger .... in simple words don't trade by the tick ....

Because you are talking about intraday moves and I am talking about a short and mid term swing potential break ....and so far no break no shake running into the Weekly close ..lets see how we roll....

"A lot better.."

sisse,

Thanks....but, I don't want alot better. I want to be miles ahead. Did I miss the FLIP "level"? It sounds as if I have the FLIP "ZONE" right according to your S&R Levels and ZONES from what you posted; but perhaps not exactly where the FLIP is. I want to see it so I can examine why that line is better than the rest......UNLESS, you think I should be content with that "area" so not to ".... in simple words don't trade by the tick ...."

Looks like GU is holding the .4050 for now. I was hoping we would lose it this week along with .1390. We still can for either or both. EU has a better chance than GU at the moment. My bet is that one or both might get parked right at the level to make it more undecided. Or, perhaps that is a tale tell sign that it has been.......

EDIT: DOLLAR is at a KEY support in my books as this .94 level has been tested alot (WEEKLY CHART-so I don't get scolded or cause someone to consume an adult beverage before trading is over) as well and seems to be good support.....94.28 needs to give for DOLLAR
