{quote} ..I'm surprised you didn't have the area above that yellow zone you have marked, ie the one @ the current pullback lo - it was an obvious zone - see my 1hr chart posted above.....re targets....all you can do is mark the potential supp/res zones and see what PA does at them.

Thanks Headland

Still learning and will look into that

{quote} I agree you have to find a method you like. When I came to this site in 2009 it seemed like most were days traders and scalpers. Now in 2021 it seems like most here are still day traders and scalpers. I don't see a problem with that at all. Occasionally I will scalp, but just to amuse myself LOL. Trend trading is best if you want large returns and consistent profits without staring at your screen all day. It also takes less effort than scalping. I don't think scalping really requires a strategy or method, and maybe that's why a lot of people...
I can't agree more with this post... Very well said.

I agree! I find swing trading is the easiest by far and have a system that returns more and so much simpler than scalping. The problem I have is forex flash crashes! Now the next way is what a lot of people on here do. Which I find impossible to do! Best analogy is in a fight you are better to be in real close or way back. In between you get knocked out. That why I scalp in and out! This mid range..... I'm sure a lot of people are getting sparked out!

Yeah I would hate it if I were trying to place a trade and then a flash crash happened. I don't know if those happen sometimes on purpose due to brokers trying to stop out scalpers, but I think it's very possible. I know brokers make a ton of money on manipulating prices and crashing or stopping orders during news and just whenever they feel like it . This only seems to effect short term traders though.

Oh I know I don't usually use stops. I read about flash crashes before it seems scary.

{quote} I think we can drop down to the 1h demand at 3922/31 but decided to take profit at 85... 65 pips/6.5xR Plenty room to run in DXY to 90.65 at least 1810 gold short?
Will wait for confirmation but planning long down at 3922/31 once we have broken through this level

DXY on a tear but not sure it will last long

Too many bad trades for me today. I'm done.

What I always find is you get a run of bad luck.

When this happens quit or else pay the price of chasing bad money!!!!

Just reminded myself that GBPUSD reached 1.4...
I remember OnlineAddict being harassed by Not-KPMG who was posting offensive stuff...
It is so quiet now, I wonder where are Not-KPMG's apologies for his behaviour?

...the current dly lo is equal to the 3rd last HL on 1hr, price having sold past the last and 2nd last HL of it's uptrend......likely a fractal L will develop there as the 1st rise from it encountered supply at the prev 1hr/4hr sw lo zone = prev supp = pot sbr with the 1hr desc t/line. (5min bearish hidden div there)

1hr below.

Yes right observation.
But Iam seeing that Cable still going up despite DXY went up from 90.45 to 90.51, however cable went as low as 1.3980 when DXY was 90.47
My observation may be wrong but intent correct. Stay calm!
