Hello Igrok,

I read your book a few weeks ago and you wrote that before Central bank interventions there are almost always rumors of it happening, so you can prepare to not get caught on wrong side.

My question is where is a reliable source(s) to get such warnings so we won't get wiped out in such events.

I ask because trading 5 min charts and lower, my stops are relatively tight. This could cause me to lose many many times my original risk stop amount possibly wiping out my account if caught on the wrong side.
Do these rumors get reported almost every time - as for my style of trading i think it would be essential.

p.s: Thank you for all your efforts in these posts, it is really appreciated

best regards,

Jack C
Usually before intervention government officials show in advance some concerns regarding "inappropriate" exchange rates. But obviously there is no guarantee that the actual intervention will be expected by the market.

HI Igrok,
Do you think the USD/JPY is gona test the high at 125.75 before a correction
takes place
I didn't say anything about USD/JPY and have no idea what it is going to do at current levels except fo the fact that technically it is likely to reach 134.00 area some time this year.
Other JPY crosses mentioned in my previous post have almost reached projected levels by now and are likely to start a correction on Monday. This correction thought might happen because of the general USD strength opposite to other major currencies weakness and thus might not lead directly to USD/JPY correction. AUD/JPY for example is unlikely to trade higher than 104.30-50 level. GBP/JPY and EUR/JPY also look toppish here.

Monthly AUD/JPY chart.
God I wish my amateur MT4 charting had as nice and prope history as your charts have

Very nicely done / predicted / called / analyzed / stated. (Take your pick)


I chose the main pair(AUDUSD) to trade this however as Gold got hit again.


Always love to see your charts Igrok
Trust price. Know yourself.

No. This is Future Source. Don't think it's a diamond.

At this moment it seems it made a new high by one pip. It also seems that there is a two-diagonal diamond in progress on hourlies.

Don't think so. It is definitely not a diamond, but might turn into a broadening triangle .

wat do you make of this rally in the GBP
it seems to have broken the channel on the weekly charts

Dear Sir,

I've bought a copy of your book and realized that in most templates, "Reverse if stops triggered" is utilized. May I know,

1) What exactly does "Recommended with automatic entry-stops" mean?
2) Which of the 3 classes of templates would you recommend for beginners, Average Daily Trading Range, Technical Formations, or Trendlines, Support and Resistance?
3) Which brokers would you recommend in terms of their execution of "Reverse if stops triggered" (ie, which brokers' trading station/platform is/are suitable for your discretionary trading method?)

Many thanks in advance =)

Regards,
Gyii

I don't consider it as a channel. Too inaccurate. Just don't know what it is. But the reason for coming back up was serious enough, because USDX had to fill up the gap left at 82,29 and this is what the USD in general has been doing since topping out.

1. "Automatic entry stop" means placing a stop order to enter a new position in the direction of the momentum. Usually can be used for entering a position at some break-out level.
2. Beginners are usually poorly equipped with technical skills and their abilities of technical trading are limited. ADTR concept is easier to follow.
3. I'm not familiar with the most of the modern dealers' services. Can't recommend anyone specific.
4. "Stop and reverse" should be recommended only if and when there is strong chance for a decent range extention. Given the fact that nowadays the intraday ranges became shorter I would utilize this feature only for extended period of time such as intraweek trading.

Igrok, why does the market need to fill gaps? I see this happen a lot but would like to understand why.

thanks for this thread :-)

Greetings Igrok,

What are your views on drawing trendlines. Apparently there are two different ways of doint this: 1. The TD Supply/Demand Trendline and 2. The standard way.

I am of the view that trendlines are the most powerful trading tools and am trying to find the best way to validate a trendline breakout. I await your expert advise. Thank you.
