we used to scan the charts and look for any formation, price action, trend breaking , ....etc

and because everyone can see the chart from a different view so I see we can contribute here and post our observations

I used to do this alone and write notes in my notebook and I think every trader do that so why we cant do it here to build a major long/short term view !!

I will begin and please correct me if I'm wrong in anything

so please contribute and post your view , I wont do this alone and will return to my notebook again
Great Idea I use the 5,13 and 62 expodential ma's along with the MACD, When the Histagram crosses zero line plus the trigger line crossing and the the 5,13 cross all at about the same time this is my trigger. Up or down when all three agree it's trade time if the 5,13 are to late it's close time and wait for the next good 5,13 with macd. Check this out

good hollyjoe
I read about this here in FF and at Rob site
great system if it work with you

but we don't speak about systems here we speak about patterns, setups appears on the charts
so if you recognize a famous pattern, a something you noticed repeatedly, price action setup in the recent charts, just tell the others here and post your chart, this helps to make a good decision

another setup that I used alot is the intersection between two wide range bars
I used this setup last Friday to short GJ at very good price

and if you don't know this setup,
if there is two wide range bars in the same direction, then the area of the intersection between them acts as support/resistance and can be used in entry/exit

I know this is not a pattern that we wait it's completion/breakout/failure but I post it as a reference to myself and others whose don't know it

here is the chart

another pattern we can wait for

a triangle, I cant remember what they name it in the books
but this triangle wait a breakout
and usually the breakout is in the direction of the entry to this triangle
so more drop expected but again the market has the last word

where are the charts' scanners??

Super high gas prices this year have failed to materialize and I belive that is main cause of USD/CAD turning to the upside... USD/CAD now taking aim at 150 ema on daily charts... pondering a trade on this .......

A good time to go long here on first bull candle when price come up out of oversold. Target is red ema ( 62 ) Second target white sma ( 200 ). Also notice the 4 hr Pin Bar that has already kicked in for a LONG.

good levels at 264, 335, 380

Hi. I was fiddling around with a weekly gbpjpy chart this morning and saw this chart pattern from 1998- the huge carry unwind. I overlayed the current g/y chart and it made a very interesting picture.

Alignment was retained at price level. In order to align the peaks I skewed the '98 chart forward (green and yellow dotted vertical lines mark the date alignment)- we are only "behind" by 28 calendar days.

You're welcome.

I haven't observed historical info like this enough to know how much confidence can be put into it, but it's sure something I'm keeping in mind in the coming weeks of trading.

With a break always expect a pullback, otherwise, you're dead meat/

if you dont trade this pair, I wish you take a look at it

Daily Chart carry a possible killer trade

I closed my short early this week but I will look for another entry

a possible target is the confluence of the two PFs, and it highlighted on the chart
long term trade closed today with +940 pips for the first lot only

Nice.

And I thought I was the only crazy one looking for 2.33

Currently appears to be retracing...back to 2.3750 perhaps?

For a nice new short entry? Hmmm will look for PA...what was your setup for the original 950 pip short?

Looks pitchforky..

I've begun drawing charts looking very similiar to your GBPCHF one ironically enough....the power of parallels is interesting indeed

Hi SL
my setup for the first entry is a 123, and I enetered at 4485 when the retrace of 3 is over

as you said the power of parallels is interesting indeed

Do you remember the EG posts (the early posts in this thread), do you still have the long position??

and now what you think

LOL omg yes I did post that, didn't I...no, I didn't keep it, left it pretty swiftly...took and closed a long for around +103 somewhere last week or before however..same starting point from around the 06700/0.6800s...scalped another 10-30 every other day since, mostly on retraces, trying to reach new highs, was shooting for .07000 which we then hit...am currently in a short that's showing the same amount again since 0.7005 was rejected as I was expecting(projection)...might only be a bit sideways before a continuation however, so stop is at b/e and looking to perhaps rebuy or something...it's just a hobby pair for me, stake is always small (0.1-0.2% tops) and it's mostly because it suddenly became so nice to chart using weekly / monthly...

My, that IS a rather nice chart I posted here, too, isn't it....wonder if I can still find the template / whether I saved it...would be so funny it it all came true, wouldn't it

I don't take myself serious most the time, but oddly enough my charts sometimes seem to...scoundrels they are!

I'm amazed how every time I look at a blank chart anew I can draw it you completely differently sometimes...I just recently made a weekly and monthly one and it's nothing like this one...well except for s/r, but the trendlines...hmmm...wow...hehe...really nice...


Would you care to elaborate on the GBPCHF setup though along with some reasoning? i.e. setup and entry criteria, minimum target, etc...I'm always curious...
Ok, 2 am here, hence my rambling, time for bed...n8n8
