adjusting all S/L b'coz triangle appear in all three pair

G/U S/l at 1.9930
U/J s/l at 106.85 bias still short b'coz pair still move below the envelopes
G/J s/l at 212.60 bias still short same reason as U/J

positif pips from U/J an G/J protected minimize loss from G/U if occured

got to go now i got a date

all U/J entry closed... feel fishy n is the end of the week
result

G/U -25 +75 = +50
U/J +16+100+24-19=121

total pips =+171
remaining trade still open

G/J at 212.16 S/L moved to 211.80 protected profit
G/J at 213.50 S/L at 212.00 protected profit

have a nice weekend......

my insight for next week...

G/U entering a consolidation period b'coz retrace zone is entered on the daily... range for next week 1.9600-1.9800 for weekly base on the daily candle a break on the range 1.9700-1.9600 could show the next trend

For U/J next week probably decisive move being made wether the trend continue down or begin to bounce the fib if it bounce then consolidation is in the make b'coz of the weekly fib and candle

For G/J a break between 210-208 will show the move

here is the chart

ohh and another thing i see a retrace si forming in G/J so i added this entry

Long G/J at 209.32 target 210.68... can be considered as a hedge also no s/l added as long as im green i'm good to go
ok that's all...

ok now i gonna tried to predict G/J move for next week

broad look at weekly chart for G/J
for theory.. elliot wave said that every moved consist of 5 wave and 3 correction wave
is this it???? maybe if next week not making any low so probably we would enter a consolidation period again or counter trend moved....
fundamental viewed is... US still surprised all of us with a string of good news... probably the recession is not that bad and unwinding the carry trades are not so necessary at all.. if this we use as a based so next week we enter a consolidation period and probably a start of a new uptrend...
if the condition is as bad as it is so the low should be broken and we headed for 205 first
if consolidation took place and a new uptrend is forming we must tried to see the upcoming
sign of it lets take a look closer on the weekly and daily

the start of wave c is on the 241.39 occurred on 28/10/07 this is the daily

so are we gonna see the leg 5 first in the daily based???

what confused me is leg 2-3 is so long and over shoot my fib if the fib on leg 1-2 is pulled...
if leg 2-3 i pulled the fib so the retrace not met my requirement for a retrace that is touched and bounce on the fib level of 28/61/38/50/72
but if i pulled the fib like in the second picture...
the requirement met and........ it's fit with the weekly moved...
so to form a consolidation period then 214 area must hold
for a new uptrend to form then 204.50 must hold and a retrace occurred in 204.62-209 level

so my target for G/J is revised to a conservative level of 207.4 that's the 23.8% level of my fib and until i see a retrace then my bias change to either consolidation or up

man this elliot thing is very interesting
thats for g/j

ok now i'm going to be very careful this time..
re analyze G/U
weekly fib..
need a retrace up from a downtrend that begin on 04/11 2007 to 13/01 2008 and a retrace forming confirmation on a pinbar followed by bull candle shown on chart meaning weekly bias is up to the retracement area 2.0400-2.0050
daily fib..
retrace consider happening right now for the run that start 22/01 2008 to 30/01 2008 meaning daily bias another up
so.... looking a dip for upmove
got the entry based on hourly as shown on chart

entry on 1.9696 s/l at 1.9596 tp 2.0238
risk is 2% of the capital target 138% retracement fib on the daily and also the target is inside the retracement zone for the weekly fib
let see if this pplayed out
