Well-spotted, Lawnman - my understanding is that we can't tell till tomorrow's bar : if it retraces up, then we just move the trendline to today's Low; if it heads south, then go short. Ralffe ?

I'm not sure if you should consider that one Daily candle as both a new Higher High & Lower Low. It's only 8 pips lower than the bar before it. You could instead look at this as just a pull back for another long entry. See below chart.

I was looking it too and we have to just wait: it could be a nice short or just a new high. Let's see

Please ignore the grey lines. I don't know why, but when i change pair the lines doesn't cancel

This is a weekly chart, look the white line: we are on a round number too, and notice that the price already tried to broke it 3 times; maybe the fourth is the good one...

Will be anxious to see what Rallfe thinks. My past experience tells me whenever I think a trend has ended, I am usually surprised, and wrong. So if in doubt, go with the trend. Also a much lower risk to trade it as a pull back and see, than to trade it as a trend reversal with a huge stop 20 pips above HH.

I realized this method could have kept me in very strongly trending instruments like indices, for ex. S&P500 until the trend was actually over. And then got me back in. So I could have been making risk-free profits since 2012 and not needed to trade forex at all.

The only thing I would change when trading something that has a rock-solid trend is add a rule requiring a bar to close away from the line.

So yesterday I could have exited the trend at the bar's open since there was daylight between the price and the line and there is no new swing high or low to anchor the other end of my line to.

However later price rose back up to touch the line. Today the situation is the same, although there's more daylight between the line and price. However if there's a rally (which is likely) it could come back to the line keeping my long trade alive. Tomorrow if the low price is higher than yesterday's low price, I have a new swing low to adjust my line to. Anyone care to predict the likelihood of that?

Ehy guys, what do you think about nzd/usd? I see it long after this candle

BUT

Some pip above we have a very important level (so a triangle has formed if we anchor our trendline to it) don't broken in weekly (3 attempts). So another scenario could be a lower high.

I think, you should move your line lower to the last highest low.

Good comments guys n gals
Price is locked in what appears to be a wave 2. (Could be wrong) If I'm right we will get the move South early next week. It's worth waiting for & being patient.
Could just as easy head North again so stick to the lines on the Daily. Much better than entering on speculation & getting your arse kicked.
Shows I moved the line on Gold far too soon. Fixed now.

Many thanks for sharing your time and wisdom. I am done practicing on 1 minute charts and looking for the right time to jump in on some Dailys. Got to practice sitting on my hands! lol.

Ralffe, what can you say about situation on AUDUSD?
Now we wait for next bar not crossing the line as a confirmation for entry. Correct?
Or as close and open were practically on the line we can use this breakout bar as an entry?

AUD may recovering from the news.....but it has bounced off Res......got to watch for buyers who may send AUD back up to hit sell stops on the way then reverse again....(banks)....I'm waiting for next week......I'm not an expert but thats what I've learned

Watch your lower time frames

I think we can safely sat AU has broken South. However. Every move has a pull-back. Even a candle. So. Wait on Monday for the daily candle to retrace ( probably 30% to 50%) before entering the trade after price starts moving down the candle again. Price may even retrace back to the line before the down move continues. ..Patience..
We should also see entries on NU, Gold, UC & EU on Monday or Tuesday.
