{quote} This is not even close to being an ABCD. It is simply a bear divergence.
Thank Alan.

Well this isnt looking good. Everything all jammed around the H4 EMA. Time to go fishing Alan?

Looks like its getting a wiggle on to go somewhere. H1 above the EMA so looking for long trades. M5 found some bull support so jumped in for a tester trade. Closed this trade for 63 pips after some M5 divergence showing. jumped in again for another trade up to the next H1 Average level at 1.12001.
Got myself 0.6% today after deciding not to go fishing.

Todays trading for 0.5% on the account. Not too bothered about lotsizing yet, more interested in consistent +profits daily and weekly. Action around the H1 EMA a bit intense for me but practice makes perfect. Took the hedge when divergence showed on the M5. Second hedge was expecting a pullback to the H1 EMA but got a big spiky candle instead. H1 failed to make a HH average so expecting it to have another go at the last average at 1.12004.

Lets do a bit more down to the H1 average and call it 1% for the day.

I modded a MTF moving average line for anyone that wants it. Saves doing multiples of 26 for each chart. Obviously the relevant candle needs to close before the line moves on.

Well go figure this for a challenging week.

Talking about the three ABCD's on the 1-hour chart here.

(A) Went southwards to the D1 where it hit a bull div sending it back to the D

(B) Used the 4-hour EMA and went southwards to D1 where it hit a bull div sending it back to D.

(C) Is stuck in the 50% ranges. Though I suspect it will target D1. It has been 50% long and 50% short.

For the EMA level to break X price should reach Y which is what it did.

Currently the bears are holding support which was a nice 100 pip short.

So much information to digest and analyze this one chart. Any amount of ZOO points for consideration and a ton of profit to be had.

As per usual once the target is reached look for the bear Div which came providing a very nice ZOO point to short.

This is supposed to return price to the EMA but so far, the bulls are holding.

It looks to me like the EMA is trying for the EMA swing high at Y.

I am leaving the green ABCD on the chart to see f price runs down to D1

When that 1-hour div provided a ZOO point we look to the 5 min and see a bear HD there to short.

Master Alan, Have you traded recently, can you share some charts?
I have been trading but using small lots on the fast charts due to the volatility. Many trades taken for about + or - 10 pips in the direction of the 5 min trend.

On my 1-hour chart I am watching to see if the EMA is going for the LL at A. This should send the price down to B but it just looks flat at this time.

We can see the 1 -hour has closed the gap but it is stuck at the 50% of D1.

I cannot figure the direction just now, so I am just sitting on hands.

Looking at the 5 min chart we see all the EMA's are quashing together so we may be in for a big break away, but which way?
  • #8,435
  • Oct 20, 2022 2:04am Oct 20, 2022 2:04am
Just an observation on the 1-hour.

If price breaks above the EMA, then price has to close above 1.12821 to avoid another ABCD. That would be one heck of a big bar so I would suspect price will go for the current D1 before making a new ABCD. D1 is at 1.11406

Well, it looks like the D1 is the target as I said. The average swing low is very low so after D! I would expect to see a bull div sending it back across the EMA to form another ABCD which I would expect to be long.

Note I am looking at quite some time in the future to form these familiar setups we see so often. A lot can happen in the short time so I am still scalping albeit getting nice shorts.

The 5 min chart has done the deed for me, I was expecting it to hit X but maade enough long before.

Anyone taking the 5 min hear HD previously (as I did) should note that although it made the EMA the bears did not find support so the stop needs to be tightened for a couple of pips profit.

If the 5 min takes out X I would then be looking at the daily S1 because there is room for it on the 1-hour D1

This doesnt look like M1 trending to me. Slow and painful going down.
