So far the weekly range on the swissy has been too short. Making a new low of the week is likely to be followed by some decent extension. 1.0700-40 level looks like a good near-term target.

That line seems to be the lower border of an expanding triangle. The similar one just got broken on the EUR/USD. Swissy is likely to follow.

Missed a possible 19.13 on EURAUD 4 hour chart (although it looks rather messy?)

Hi Bentrod,

just wondering.....did you take the swissy trade on the break of todays earlier low and the bottom trend line of the diamond, or for another reason?

Cheers

Gday Mozzie.

Yes that is exactly why I took the trade.

Also as Igrok mentioned, the weekly range was tight.

By entering on a break of the daily bar I was trading with the MMOTD and it wasn't to far untill I would be trading with the MMOTW, should that be broken.

I often know where the intraday stops of the big guys are and place my limits there or right behind.
Ignored
Igrok,

How do u determine the intraday stops of the big guys ? From the charts or contacts within the industry ?
Keep it simple and sweet !

Contacts. But very often their stops are quite obvious. They mostly trade by the same assumptions like everyone else around.

Hi Bentrod,

Thanks for the explanation, seems like common sense to me, just a few other things, if you don't mind.

So your target is the weekly range around 1.0700 (as Igrok mentioned) which also concides with a rising trend line form the weekly lows of 15thJuly & 22nd July, and would be a third touch, and therfore could bounce or break. If of course we break through the current level (4th touch of rising 4hr trend line @ 1.0840).

Also in favour of the trade is that we have reached or exceeded the monthly range, therefore the upside is limited.

So if my understanding is right so far, your stops would of been set at around 1.0970 (last intraday high), and would you be trailing the stops around 100pips for saftey.

Cheers mate.

I can't see that trendline. From here it looks like it goes straight through the low of the 16th?

Mine was a bit tighter than that.(Don't tell the Boss)

I wasn't really thinking about monthly as I will probably close it out tomorrow(if I don't get stopped out)

Are you looking for a reason to get out or go in?

I'm a bit annoyed some of them ran away without too much proper a heads up(to me).
Trust price. Know yourself.

It seems EUR/USD can make another couple of hundred pips to around 1.51 before considering entering some shorts.

Hi Igrok,

I am studying your templates, and wondering is today a good example for use of template 18.2b on the EURO/USD, if we break the high..

Cheers
