Looks like some strong gap up on USD, MXN Indexes. Tickers already active. Would confirm at the market open. Noticing this for the first time after creating my Indexes on Tdview. 1hr before market open, interesting. {image} {image}

Been on this trade for hours. Decided to close as soon as Dollar closed its gap reason for the sharp price fluctuation. Had thought i could harvest some 20pips.


First Targets still in view though. Market/pair very slow.
1.17860
1.17885
1.17940

Missed entry on this setup (alert did not trigger) but would wait for another opportunity.
Signs of a possible pullback exhaustion (hidden divergence) for a continuation.

Update on Gold (inverted)

4550/4500? Lets see..Well, if 4640 gets broken (SC2) similar to the cup handle (upper channel, SC1). Then we could see some pressure.

Will focus on pair in the coming week but for now will wait for some retracement to the 1.6210 level for scalps as price has formed a "reversal/retracement" (3 Inside-up) pattern at a key level. Trend strength fading for now with signs of a potential "double bottom". AUD has been very strong and wondering if it would cool off at some point. Aim for targets 1.6352/82 zone levels.
Same for GBPAUD

Missed the take-off, catch the landing (roughly 40-60 pips).

How to Use This Candlestick Cheat Sheet PDF: The 3 Golden Rules
To get the most out of this candlestick cheat sheet, it’s important to follow three golden rules that turn patterns into practical trading insights:

The Rule of Context
A candlestick pattern never exists in isolation. Always consider the broader market trend, support and resistance levels, and prevailing news or economic data. A bullish reversal pattern in a strong downtrend may not carry the same weight as in a sideways or upward market.

The Rule of Confirmation
Never act on a single candlestick alone. Look for additional signals, such as volume spikes, momentum indicators (like RSI or MACD), or follow-through candles, that confirm the pattern’s validity. Confirmation helps filter out false signals.

The Rule of Confluence
The strongest trading setups occur when multiple factors align. Combine candlestick patterns with technical tools such as moving averages, Fibonacci retracements, or trendlines. The more layers of evidence pointing in the same direction, the higher the probability of a successful trade.

Claude responded: AUDNZD - Long Setup
AUDNZD - Long Setup
Entry Zone: 1.2185 - 1.2200
Stop Loss: 1.2155
TP1: 1.2245 TP2: 1.2280 TP3: 1.2350
The Reasoning:
The pair has been in a clear uptrend since April 2025, climbing from 1.065 to a recent high of 1.2245. A consistent series of higher highs and higher lows that has held without a break for 13 straight months.
Over the past two weeks, price has built a tight consolidation just below the high - this is not a real correction, it's distribution sitting on top of the highs. Every dip has been absorbed quickly, with the deepest pullback measuring only about 50 pips. This kind of behavior is typical of a strong trend coiling before its next leg up.
We also saw a clean push down to 1.2194 that took out the Asian session low and was immediately rejected back up within the same session. The candle left a long lower wick - sellers stepped in, couldn't hold price down, and got run over. Classic liquidity grab before the real move.
The H4 moving averages (20 and 50) are sitting right under price at the 1.2175-1.2200 area, acting as dynamic support that has already been tested several times successfully. Entering at this zone means buying at an optimal price, on structural support, not chasing.
Above us sits 1.2245 - the prior high that acts like a magnet, with equal highs sitting right above it offering buy-side liquidity. A break above opens the path toward 1.2280 and then 1.2350.
The Stop Loss below 1.2155 protects against a break of local structure - if price closes below this level, the bullish thesis breaks and we exit. No second-guessing.
Risk-to-reward: 1:3 to 1:5+ - asymmetry firmly on the bullish side.
Trade Management:

  1. TP1 (40% of position) - move SL to Break Even
  2. TP2 (35%) - trail SL below the prior low
  3. TP3 (25%) - Daily-level trailing stop

Note: Wait for the pullback into the entry zone. Don't chase if price breaks higher first - wait for a clean retest. Discipline over urgency.

Interesting! "You read what the market is shouting" by using AI? I respect your opinion to use AI for price predictions probably you are a swing or position trader but surely awaits disaster. I focus on what i see and not what AI predicts or what i think "should" happen. This is 100% distraction to me.
For me its all about
1. Trade what I see.
2. Trade the moment win or lose!
