{quote} but there was no signal on the M5
With a div on the hour look where the RSI was on the 5, how much lower would you expect it to go?

Now you make the M5 div more important than the EMA swings.
Price ended on M15 several Swing lows and on the M5 which you mentioned on exact EMA swing low.
That with RSI being relatively on low values when you look to the left.

You may be thinking there is no target for the hour but don't forget the good old 4 hour has a target and it has hit the 50% level.

I wouldn't because A and B are not on opposite sides of the EMA so they are not swings but rather a continuation.

Just to remind one has to set the Triangle_Max Size value of Des' Target indicator to a much higher value than the default 48 pips if you want to get it drawing triangles on higher TF's like H4

Des I think that one was cancelled. See how price pushed back up above the EMA when it came back below it did not set a new ABCD.

I think this is the way they are cancelled.

Thanks Alan,
always great to get your input, I will hopefully get some time this weekend to have a look at the Indi and will incorporate this "Cancellation" into it

I am not sure if this is a fact but it seems logical that there must be a way to cancel them.

Have to have a look at some past ones and see if this holds true.

So I missed the 108 entry long and missed the big short.
Both were there to grab by following the system.
I took a Long for -10 pips.
Took 3 BE+1
Then took a Short for 15 pips to get me in Green.
I am done for today to prepare a journey for tomorrow. I will be back on Monday. Enjoy weekend folks.

Hi Jazz,
great trading this week (Again!), if you get a chance at some point in the next few days could you possibly expand on how you are able to place your trades at the extreme points, I have noticed how you are often buying and selling at the edges of moves. I appreciate the identification of Div's on ZOO points but when you have identified this as a Buy or Sell what makes you Buy and Sell at such good places. I appreciate this might be just down to experience and can't be quantified but would be great to get your perspective
Cheers...Des

Hard to say indeed. I hesitate to answer this....Are you going to make rules out of it?
It should be a combination of:
Lot of GBPUSD chart time
I indeed focus a lot on Zoo's including the EMA swings and EMA itself, because they should do what is expected: turn price.
Often an extreme is formed at the close of a bar so I watch these bars to get to its close.
It sure has to do with this thought: I want to enter (e.g.) Long, ...where would I expect the Sellers to take profit (=doing the same I want to do = Buying)?
Because of the previous sentence, often it starts with a bit of a quicker move over a bit of a larger distance.

Thanks Jazz,
I will try to take on board what you said and incorporate it into my trading as I can definitely see the logic in trying to Buy/Sell at the extremes
Cheers...Des
