Hey great entry. TP is one of those things you have to decide on what works for you best. Some like to TP all at once, others at different levels. On your chart I may have made T1 where price is sitting now, you can tell we have support there. T2 could be where your T1 is. Again, determing TP is a personal thing, and is the hardest part of forex imo.

I know this wasn't the best answer, but I don't think there is a concrete one.

Michael

edit* here is what i mean. You can see I have awesome MSpaint skills! This is just based on this chart you posted. Seeing the bigger picture may change things.

Michael, the original T1 hit(my) - scaled out, now gunning for an optimistic run down to tp2 and tp3.

But as was noted the support zone held and generated quite a wick off the T1 level. Wait and see game now.

Yay, James is still among us

Congrats on getting 2000 posts

Was wondering whether taking this USDCHF pin is going to be a good idea or not...I tried to curve fit it into a s/r as well as I could, any other opinions on this?

EURUSD and GBPUSD are mega-skewed thanks to all the cross action, so I'm pretty unsure whether this is a good idea...

I'm short. It's off the Daily Pivot. First target 1.2320, second the weekly pivot at 1.2284. Will look to go long afterwards.

We also have divergence on several timeframes, so I might go in short after deciding not to act on yesterday's PB
Consistency and patience is everything

Isn't it a pinbar at the cable? I'm currently long at the moment, but I think I will close it... what do you guys think?

USD/CHF... OK. Now we have a pin on the hourly.
...At higher fib areas. (SeekingLight will love that one. )

I've entered an order for a break low.

Stop Loss just above the daily pin.

hello, bundyraider. I have a question about the pin on your chart. It didn't close lower than open. Is that still pin? Of course, it is, but the tradable(reliable) pin?

check out this chart for euro she just touched 61 fib so if she closes the hour out around 3010-15 then that would be a good indicator or going long correct, if u could get back in under 3010 ?

Well, you know what I think? Here's what I think... I think we all are trying to figure it out and if others are in the same boat as me, you're seeing pin bars that don't behave like pin bars, and retracements that dont stop retracing. I've made a whole bunch of calls that didn't pan out in the past 24 hours. I suppose I should just get out and stay out for the day... take a breather.

Good Luck, Dan

A daily pin that didn't work out. I hate it when the week starts like this.
My entry point to short cable is around the 1.9500-20 area. Possibility of a Pin on 4hr cable to go long. Still 30min to go.

Here's the indicator. I've disabled the code for the S/R levels. If you want them to show on your charts, remove the "//" in the code.

Take Care

My theory is that thanks to EURCHF rising 45 pips USDCHF got too darn distorted and just plain failed....it's odd, I always feel like this ALWAYS happens when _I_ try something obvious
EJ long and USDJPY long I took are still AOK however, but at smaller stake.
I'll break even at some point I hope...
Cable seems to be hovering around making a daily doji type of thing today if we end the day near the 1.9400, unless this is the last dip down before takeoff to 1.9500. I agree with Habeeb that that's a s/r zone.

One observation on my behalf: the s/r toggles IMHO are EXACTLY the same as 1000 pips lower. Like 1.9433 is same as 1.8433 and 1.9840-60 is 1.8840-60 s/r etc.....
It's probably likely that this is a great simplification for them unknown territories to just use old prices?

Yup, it turned out to be one. I'm gonna jump into this one with my stop below yesterday's low and a trailing stop of 15.
