{quote} That's the maps I have in GBPJPY : D1 Map Bears still have the upper hand in this TF {image} H4 Map We are sitting more or less at the flip in this TF TA wise, this TF looks neutral 131.5x is a fresh valid sell with stop a few pips above last breakdown candle, let's say 132.2x, for targets @ 130.6x, 130.3x (bottom) and 129.8x (extrem) For bulls, 130.3x is the "cheapest" entry to go long (H4 bottom), 130.6x is decent while 131.4x is very aggressive entry {image} I don't trade this pair usually , thinking a bit out loud If you agree D1 drives...
Good call rep, 131.58 proving to be res and my trailing stop line is now above the price which is an encouraging sign, I closed out earlier today to open shorts in the Dow, I had to go out so decided to close all today, especially WTI which has been a pain to trade, good luck on your trade, Detector.

Just to clarify, I'm out of the position, the thicker blue line is my trailing line, the first time price went through I was in the trade and closed out, notice price is back below the same line and showing supp & res, partly the reason for asking your thoughts, the bearish scenario you created I acted on (thanks) and it could be coming around again, (not that I'm advocating any position) I'm not in ATM, thanks for taking the time.

Well done with your trades.

For oil, on the supply side we have, as main drivers and in no particular order : a serial elections hacker, a bloodthirsty dictator and a clown. That's enough to put me on the back foot.

Like it and thank you, oil certainly been a tricky one of late hence my move over to forex, my main market was oil, gold (my broker suspended gold trading for the time being) and the indexes, the odd currency, the Dow took my shirt because I became too complacent, I took an opportunist profit and it worked, I tried for better runs and all was over in a flash, sorry for the biography, bytheway, GJ res & sup on my chart has now gone out too 131.78 & 131.45, good luck for you too, I can see you do your homework.

USDTHB failed to clear last target (33.5x) of a large swing up from 30.5x and looks set to retrace to 32.1x, 31.6x and 31.2x (best value's entry is @ 32.5x) {image}

{quote} Chokdeeeeeee !First target in USDTHB cleared@ 32.18 from 32.5x LT break up 32.144 ready for a test. I don't expect it to hold, EOM is far away. {image}
Little update in Thailand Baht :

32.1x couldn't hold the flow as expected. Second target @ 31.6x is now within shooting distance.
Entry @ 32.5x was pretty good, zero drawdown so far.

{quote} In contrast, EURTHB has still a lot of room to the upside as MT & LT points to 39.xx FA wise, LT reversal looks a done deal as expectations for WW tourism back to normal are only in 1Y or 2Y. On Top, historically, US FED is usually Thai CB's benchmark which says a lot as FED has by far the loosest monetary policy in the world (only Risk holds USD at current levels) TA wise, price has already drawn a MT reversal whose break up (34.8x) point has been succesfully tested (bought). Current value (35.0x) is already a valid entry on D1. On W1,...
Regarding EURTHB, I just pulled the trigger for the MT/LT swing , a very very long play/ride hopefully

Bought EURTHB @ 34.8x TP1 36.8x TP2 39.0x STP 33.8x

Trying again to jump on the (fast) train in EURUSD

1.0959 is very last fresh breakup on H4 , expensive entry but valid.
From the beginning, all possible entries were expensive, only micro/shallow retraces in the swing so let's see if it keeps the same momentum

Long filled @ 1.0959 TP1 1.105x TP2 1.115x STP 1.085x

Today, bulls bought heavily 2941, which is last fresh break up on H4, let's see if it can give them the momentum to take finally 297x

If they fail again to take it after heavily buying that 2941, that will be very bad news for them and I will look for shorts in the area.
If they manage to take it, that will unlock high of the breakdown candle (on D1 chart) @ 303x where I have a pending sell

Then we are aligned in US equities now ;-)

Yes I'm still in GBPJPY, it has barely moved so far. If equities trigger risk off that should make it via JPY, otherwise I will wait for GBP's weakness, only spoiler is upcoming BOJ but risk is known so, at worst, that will end as a good try to get in synch with the pair.

We certainly are, can see you have profit targets to meet and move stops (think I have it right) whereas I'm more opportunist, (new trader profit syndrome) but this is deliberate, in and out, quite often the trade can gift the return quite quick, tried the long game but it's not suiting me, hope all works out.

Long bought @ 1.089x TP1 1.099x TP2 1.105x TP3 1.115x STP 1.079x

This is where we are in ES now
It has extended (slightly) the lows in the 290x but didn't break down.
PA wise, a break there unlock a retrace to 283x.
