PowerTrading/The River

Good setup for tonight. The high of the day and the 38.2 retrace. Be careful that we have good Price Action when we break through the Zone. If not wait a little before placing your trade. Better to be late, than be wrong. Just trade smart, lock in profit as soon as possible and the the worst you can do is make one or two pips. That is what I did on the first break last night and then I had a chance to come back and get my pips later.

Good Trading,
PT

I know this is a little different than what we normally look at in here but it is important to the entire method. The 4hr is a good way to see what is happening in the big picture. Sometimes things are happening too fast in the 15 min and you need to step back and look at the overall picture. Notice where I have the crucial trend line market. That is a horizontal trendline and it has been strong resistance several times. I also have other trend lines drawn and you should be doing this too. You can see they fan downward and each one will be support. The trend lines with the most touches and have held the longest amount of time will be the strongest. So when you are stalling out on the 15 min or hour and you want to know why, here you go. Practice this, it will make you a strong trader. Also run Fibs.

Hey guys, PT, netwise: ya'll are really doing good. I can find the zones, its pretty easy on gbpusd on 15 tf. What keeps happening is my entries get activated and then reverse on me. I guess I have them too close but ya'll seem to get better entries than me. How can you determine when a breakout will occur and estimate good targets? Do you know any good articles/books on price action. I'm also reading the fibonnaci thread by bobo here to try and help. Any other ideas? TIA and Good Luck!!

It is important to wait until there is Price Action. Sometimes the wrong time of day will kill you. This week is difficult because it will be non-farm payroll on Friday and that always makes the week crazy. My pips are coming from the Gbp/Usd, but these other guys are hitting home runs with the other pairs. I am satisfied with my usual daily pips because I know I will get them and I can put more money on each pip.

When you say "price action" you mean the price bars are giving you clues as to direction? The only thing I can tell from them right now is when there are longer wicks usually you have indecision in the market or a large in bar retracement. But by the time I see them I've missed the move. Any way, keep posting guys i'll learn. Thanks for taking time to help!

I am talking about activity. You can not make decisions when there is no activity in the market. If you take trades too early or late in the day there is nothing to tell you the direction. We had two breakouts of the Zone today on the Gbp/Usd, both for about the same amount of pips. It was easy to do the Zone, you simply put it between the High of yesterday and the 38.2 retrace because that is where price consolidated when the action was slow. Hope this helps.

Zone Breakout Method
Price Action:

Normally, our fibo is drawn from the previous day high and low(sometimes, recent high and low) and the zone box is drawn where there is price consolidation(you might saying when price is ranging or where there is indecision between buyers and sellers)

It is expected that price will break-out from the zone on either side of the zone, but a picture from bigger time frame like 4hrs should be able to give a clue where the price will go after the breakout(anyway, that's speculations)

That's all in summary about our method, probably, the professor(PT) might want to add more but this is just the 'piece meal' from a fellow newbie like you.

The reversal, is for guru, still learning it but the trend changing candle stick around the golden ratio is a sign that reversal is possible.

Zone Breakout Method
We have currently broken yesterdays low and I took a short but let me tell you what is happening. There is a horizontal trend line on the 4hr chart that has 15 4hr candles touching this area since it has be broken short. It is a tough area. I will post my 15 chart. I do not have a Zone because we did not slow down to consolidate.

Make sure you look at that 4hr and draw a trend line horizontally from our current price so you can see what I am talking about.
