I reckon 1.5650 looks good - 50% fib from low 19 May to today's high (4hr chart)

But, as they say, I could be wwwrong!

well thats how i have been managing it anyway. it's my 1st trade after joining jackos group so whenever i looked at it i'd adjust it to whatever the highest price it had been to and then took my stop to 100 pip off that.

15550 has a 50% fib and trend line, but looks quite low, this is where experience comes to play I guess .... which I don't have yet.

Edit; That trend line will be on 15650 next week so I agree with Saint

yeah i'd have to agree about the 50 fib at 550 but not sure if we'll head down that far. maybe 600 is a bit more likely, have to wait and see what price does and how it reacts around those areas. i think 650 is the obvious one but i don't see it as a 50% fib. i'm thinking the fib should be drawn off the major low of the 8th to carry any weight but i could be wrong.

for me even if it reached 550 i think i'd want to wait and see it come up thru 600 before entering again. just my two bobs worth

Great trade 263 pips for me....niceeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So now what next? Looking at my 4hr chart, and having drawn fib levels from a low of 1.5485 to the the high of 1.5813, 50% fib is around 1.5650. This area also served as support and resistance in the recent down run (04/24 to 05/01 on 4hr charts). More recently we did take a little break around that area in this move up.

Considering the strength of this recent up move we may not even get down that far although it is within the paraments of the 100-150 pull back Jacko looks for, for an entry.

Any thoughts?

Totally agree with your sentiment about the 8th being used for the fib drawing, when I drew up the fibs 1.5500 seemed to far away to me, so I tried to look for a closer low and thats where I got the 1.5650 figure. I think I will place my order at 650 and if I am wwwwwwrong, the A-H will hopefully save the day.

just got taken out at 263 pips on 2 lots and additional 63 on 1 lot. guess it's a matter of waiting now for a retrace and another chance to enter
Hi zorroz

Many in the group did exactly the same ....

We all had a good week at the forex banquet. My 263 pips on the first set and 63 pips on the second set were very pleasant....

So do you guys think it'll break past 1.5700 before going back up? Looks to me like it's stalling out right there and will bounce back up

I agree with Zorroz; I'm looking for it to hit 1.5550 (the 50% fib) and get in at 1.5600 on the way up. Why not enter at 1.5550? Well I'm still wary of European central banks and I don't want to get too excited and attempt to catch the falling knife. If I miss there will be other entries.

That said I plan on enjoying the holiday weekend and if this happens over this period I will skip the whole thing. The market will always be there.

Considering it should be hitting the 1.5550 why not short now? Basically just trying to save from the longterm uptrend?

Yeah that could be a very good idea but could also be a very bad idea. Shaun is looking to get in long in a strong uptrend, at a much SAFER point, whereas you are looking to short in a strong uptrend from an iffy point. If Seans trade doesnt get picked up he will look for another opp, whereas you will be (pardon my french) ...f...d! Patience is a virtue patience is a virtue patience is a virtue...

Long at 1.5700,i hope not too risky....but i considered the price has broken a resistence line that now becomes a support.
Am i corret or just lucky???

I concur.

It it foolhardy to try to predict the market movement. Better to react to what is happening. So IF it reaches 15550 then go long but not short with the expectation that it will reach 15550. Or as someone has said on here, let the market come to you.

I'm being conservative as I admit; this was a bit of a greedy trade ...but hey I'm just a young and naive turtle who's still growing up.

Thanks again to Jacko for sharing his business blueprint.

I'm done and am going out to enjoy a Friday night.

Have an excellent weekend all you Turtles!
