What do you think about this one? Seems to be fine by me. Valid also... On GBP/JPY we are already on the way up... 
Drawing correct resistance and support-lines
It seems to me that UJ is ranging between 107.50 - 108.30. So long at 107.60 is probably ok. The range is pretty tight, so I wonder how long that is going to hold before breakout? A couple of days more? Any news ahead?

hi all, jus wanna sharez my trade. i jus pulled the trigger not long ago. initially the price broke the upper trendline and rallied upwards, at ard somewhere near 212 it faces res and confusion. then it retraces a bit and found support at my SR line of 212.67, and the upper trendline it previously broke act as a support too. i entered when stoc was ovsold and when it was abt to cross upward @210.80. i did not wait till it cross upward totally. i set very tight sl @ 210.45 which is 35pips and my 1st tp is my next sr line of 211.21, and if it gets there 2nd tp is 211.50
Gd trades for u too!

Sharp eyes, good analysis! It already payed you very well as I see!
Keep it up!edit:
ps: I think you don't need any indicators to trade this way, they just take some precious screen space away
the sooner you learn to trade w/o them is the better.

The trade you proposed turned out a success! Price is moving down to that 50 fib line (it seems that my fib is larger than yours and 50 line thus lower), and it probably bounces back up from supporting tl. Good job!
Be ready to go long at the tl!

This retracement didn't pay too much attention to fib levels. The strange thing, looking at the 4h, it hit almost to the pip on 61.8 And look at usd/jpy !
I'm not taking this long guys, price action seems so suspicious and, as said above, price felt harder than I had expected. If you have longs open make sure to lock in profit, looks like anything could happen. Also I just don't like having trades open after london close. This is just my rules
Measure twice, cut once
I see some traders are shorting chf now, but be very careful! At first eye-look it looks nice, but at closer look its not ! Price have established outside resistance and price action is ticking for the upside. Also see that eur/usd fail to break our upper target and have just broken a support aiming downward (good to know since they go opposite way) . I see a long potential here usd/chf. But remember, there is a chance of failure in my analyzes !
Shorting CHF at upper resistance after failed BO is OK but i really didn't expect it to fall this much... :-/

Yea, that's what i eventually want to do: jus using only price action to trade. but that comes with experience. i currently use ind to define entry. i still dunno how to define a gd entry without the help of ind.
Any tips on how to define a gd entry without ind? i know this question depends on the situation, but generally?
Thanks,
Yuna

Technically speaking what do you think now, and how would you explain (if possible) this move? To be honest I don't have a clue
And the eur/usd finally broke through the resistance-line I had drawn, but thanks to my internet connection I could not trade it. take a look at eur now seems like this resistance-line is valid and that could make chf go back up again if eur reverses. Price landed on 100% fibo now on chf, so technically speaking, again, price should reverse. But market seems crazy like now, trade with caution !
As we speak, chf is falling more. I'm staying out

And also there was a reverse candle on your chart it's clearly visible that was a good sign that maybe a reversal is coming. Don't forget the number 1 rule: break even is always better than a loss!!! There's always a tomorrow

You should always have a protective S/L when you're in the green with 20+ pips... IMO.

i should set sl at break even when i have positive 20+, i neglected the sign of reversal candle and, when tt candle closes at 211 i still have 20+ pips, should have lock in.

Nope I was just curious, I did short the USD/CHF though the idea behind it was that it's a win-win situation: if I lose money that's the fee I have to pay for my superficial analysis and t remember not to do it again
And your geppy analysis (possible upside B.O. based on PA) was truly professional. I really hope you jumped the bandwagon in time it's a lot of money now! 122pips since the breakout

I had too much time after my eur/usd short closed out on s/l (might have been too tight s/l but the position was so light that i really don't care about it at all, usually counter trend trading is not my style.. and it seems today isn't gonna change that ) so I checked out a few other charts as well. A very risky but 60-70% okay entry is developing on the CHF/JPY H1 charts.
Notice the continuous breaks of the tls so be careful. The strong red horizontal line is the daily R1 for today, so we have a double res. at current area... It might give us a few extra pips tomorrow
