Psych Levels, Pivots, and Trendlines - Resurrected

In this trade price bounced from R1, I am looking for price to hit the daily open, but will close well before NFP tonight.


EDIT, apologies, I cropped too far. This is the NZDUSD.

Nice to see some trades earlier on. Hopefully, the new year will bring us plenty of them!!

15m...... EU

This channel initiated around midnight, as you can see. After price pushed down through the .0900 psych-line, it eventually pushed up again to test this line quite a few times for resistance. As one can see, my entry was after a bearish engulfing pattern formed at the 50sma/upper channel line/.0900 psych-line confluence, and then pushed down to the lower channel line, where I exited.

A large Harami candle formed just under the .4600 psych-line, and I waited for an entry under the Trend Line. Entry and exit as indicated.

15m...... GJ

After price moved in one solid candle from the 171.00 psych down to 170.50, it came to a sudden halt signified by a small doji, followed by a bullish candle. Entry was just above that candle and I rode it until it reached the 171.00/50sma confluence.

You're right, matey. There's always more trades on the horizon!! I hope you grab one or two tomorrow.
Roose,
I know that feeling.
EV watching your charts is poetry in motion as they say! nice trading mate.

EUR/USD Hit with a loss. I initially got in when the shooting star that formed near on top of the SMA and the 1.08500 level. Critique is welcome. Let me know what you would or wouldn't have done.

I think im going to narrow down the kind of formations i'm looking for because trying to scan for everything all at once is going to make me crazy. Also how do your guys maintain good R:R ratios. I barely maintain a 1:1

Roose, you were a little hasty with your entry point. I take it that your entry was at the little red circle? When a shooting star appears at the top of a move, there's no guarantee that price will then move down. After the shooting star, there was a little doji......a very "iffy" point of entry, if you don't mind me saying so? It would have been better for you to wait for the close of the next candle, (which was bearish) and you would have been in a far better position to judge whether or not to get in or leave it. As you can see, the candle after that one was very bullish, so that would have been a "no-no", from my point of view.
Hope that helps, matey.


P.S. Regarding your comment about the formations you're looking for. You'd do well to look for the really obvious ones, rather than the "iffy" ones. Get clued up regarding reversal patterns, mate. You won't regret it!

Regarding my comment about reversal patterns......
This Double Top was so obvious, and would have initiated a good trade, as price then went from just below 82.50 down to 82.00. A very nice trade, but unfortunately, I was out at the time!

Thankyou EV, I'm learning something new everyday.
15m...... EJ

I missed the move up to the 128.50 psych-line, but once it got there, a nice little Harami formed and I thought it might be worth a punt. Happily, I was right, and price dropped, stopping just short of the 128.00 psych-line.

Two nice trades, coastie. Seems like you've found your niche in this method by focusing on Trendlines. Another example of how versatile this method can be!
Nice to see some good trades here.
Here is a perfect flag pattern I traded today
