Your chart illustrate a perfect example of confluence between TL and support (former resistance)

Look how unclear trend this pair have showed us lately. Just messy price action. Price haven't even reach out of yesterdays high/low.

This is just me but I would like to see a pair make new HH/HL in a uptrend and LH/LL in a downtrend for the ultimate trade (low risk). And then trade a possible price-pattern. Especially if other TF show different lines as you also mention. IF you're unsure, skip it. Plenty of great setups will reavel itself in the future.

First of all, its rather rare to spot a good confluence between S/R and TL on higher TF. What I can tell you is; if those events are spotted, I will not hesitate to make an trade based upon those two "triggers". Can't remember to have any (significant) losses based upon those trades, but before you say hallelujah, I just take/find a couple of those trades a year where a well-proved support, tested at least three times, meets with a (also at least) three-times tested TL.

Take a look at u/c charts guys. If previous lower high is broken, what does that tells us about this downtrend ?

Yes, signs of weakening trend. No worries, we should always manage to get our hands on a new trend

Enjoy your weekend, boys and girls !

Yes, correct. I try to follow the big money (trend) as good as I can. Fighin' against is too hard for me.

What is tradeable or not is up to each and own to verify. I don't wish to tell you what to trade (or not) which I'm sure you understand. I just try to bring a little light upon what scenarios you should recognize as high-probability events. And make your own experience upon those events

I am a good follower of Mr Toshchakovs ideas and I, like him, find that triangles are pretty safe to trade in.

Having that in mind, I took some good trades inside the triangles of both EU and UC.

I made 139 pips of one trade and 109 off of another trade.

Now, for me, I see a very clear trends on these pairs.

A very strong uptrend in EU and a very strong downtrent in UC.

I never usually look into these Crosses.

But someone, yesterday, called my attention to this pair and I made a LONG trade before price hit the Daily LTL (actually it's a triangle as well!!!) and now I am currently in good profit. Price is channeling, although a bit slowly, upwards.

Check this out.

in addition i have to say its better to just trade the majors, because

1. lower spreads
2. more money, more players -> stronger moves

what do you get out of a good setup in a weak pair over the long run, and a medium setup in a strong pair over the long run?

today, b/c i had my "available" money in kiwi & U/J, made only half of the pips of E/U & swissy moves, but the system just allowed me swissy (unfortunately i was too late) and not E/U (though i saw the breakout, but MM didnt allow it), therefore nice setups on both kiwi & U/J a few hours earlier but missed the "better" moves on the majors.

lesson learned, i'd say
