USDJPY, long trade update. The trade is going well despite a weak USD today. R @ 104.60/65. Possible short setup @ 105

USDCHF, possible short setup @ .91 and long setup @ .90 {image}
I would have drawn the retracement like this:

Questions:

1. As always, any insight into when and where to draw the retracement would be helpful. That's not a question. So let me rephrase. Do you have any insight into when and where to draw the FIB retracement?

2. What type of PA are you looking for to signal an entry at the desired level?

EURUSD, got S @ Fib 38 and former R turned S. Possible short setup @ 1.20. USD looks weak. Be careful with the short setup as EU may break above 1.20 this time. {image}
EURUSD, OK, 1.20 level is blown. That's a solid bullish candle.

EURUSD, monthly chart, the bias is bullish above 1.16. It seems we are going to see higher levels on EU in the years ahead. Long term targets are 1.22, 1.25, 1.30, and 1.32. {image}
I was bullish on EU in the long term, but I thought we might see lower levels first before heading higher.

{quote} Usually in DEC we see nonsense one way moves without respecting S/R levels. Just a heads-up if these levels perform poorly next month. Then we need to switch to different techniques.

Thanks for the chart it made it clear why my entry was missed.

As for your questions, I use Fibonacci when we have a chart with clear swing highs and swing lows. I don't have a very good answer on which swing is best to use when there is more than one swing. I think when in doubt, it makes sense to draw Fibonacci retracement on both swings. Sometimes those retracement show us a confluence level by themselves. I am attaching USDCHF chart as an example.

Regarding the PA, I use pin bars like everyone else. I also use double bottom/top formations (if there is any) on M1 or M5 as a conformation. If a level seems solid enough and I have high confidence in the setup, I might use a pending limit order just at the level with tight SL. So basically, sometimes, I don't wait for a conformation.

GBPUSD, I was waiting to load a long trade @ 1.33. But it didn't drop to that level. It seems the 1.33-1.34 range is most likely blown (a daily close above 1.34 will confirm). The bias is bullish above 1.33 and the dips can be bought. Possible short setup @ 1.3480-1.35

I draw the Fibonacci retracement manually using the MT4 tool. Or the tradingview tool when I use that for charting.

C-12 shared an auto-fib indicator here https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...4#post13283554

GBPUSD, the long trade was an easy decision after the range break out and retracement.

EURUSD, weekly chart. It seems EU wants 1.22-1.24. Next possible short setup @ 1.22. There is no good reason to short the pair atm, unless we see a topping pattern on smaller TFs (e.g. H4/H1)

Well done! I didn't take any EU long. I'm holing long GU. If EU drops to that box I will go long. But I don't see it happening with this PA.
