Hello Mr Igrok,

I have read that you mentioned a symmetrical broadening triangle on EU. My terminal is lacking a bit of data back in the 80's, but i might be observing this formation, not sure though. Is there a way for us newbies to see it, I would be very thankfull.

Much respect.

Cheers!
The angles between the horizontal red line and two green ones are equal to each other. It makes the pattern absolutely symmetrical. So, there is a good probability that the next move will be similar in time and range to the move between the top of 1995 and the bottom of 2000.

My guess is that almost any Amazon in the world should carry it, including used versions.

I was able to find it in a local library in the USA. A university library in another country may have it.

Mr Ig,

Im not sure you have this pair USDLTL in your currency list as I would like to post a screenshot with possible monthly bullish divergence. Can I proceed?

Looks more like 3.08 or something like that. Because likely to cover the gap as well.

Thank you for your time. If this breakout north happens then we can make nice money on this pair, as per my analysis on other USD pairs, i believe USD will strenghten across the board. The main problem for its strenght might be hurricane Gustav and rising price on Oil. Correct me if im wrong. Thanx

Here are some thoughts on these type of things:
Before the gulf war, stocks sold off hard, not on the war, but on the ANTICIPATION. Once the war started, they BOTTOMED(rose around 3-400% iirc).
Now, Gustav has been overdiscussed(boring the crap out of me) for the last what, 1-3 weeks? Everyone knows about it already, including the oil speculators. Once it DOES hit, all effects are gone and done, the devastation is surveyable...and the anticipation is already in the price, what then?
Or, "worse" yet, what if the "only" destruction is to non-essential structures in terms of oil infrastructure?

IMHO all this news nonsense just distracts a whole lot from the real decisions the market is making in the meantime in 99% of the cases...

Besides that - a few hundred pips of retrace, bounce, bear market rally on any USD pair wouldn't be something bad to see...I'd rather welcome it =)

Yes SL, i see what you mean. I have done my analysis and it seems that USD will gain strenght. Though I could be wrong.

Hi Igrok,

Not sure if it's a diamond forming on EU H4?

Cheers

I'm not in the mood to argue with a-a-a-a-.......... people. Whatever you see on this chart here is fine with me.
Scared of a little challenge, are we?

Thanks.

Igrok, based on your long-experience seeing and trading so many formations, from patterns such as diamond, triangle, wedge, flag, pennant, rectangle, etc. ... which patterns occur most and reliable to trade (that you like)? and on which particular timeframes it appears more frequent?

I don't collect that statistics. I trade all of them whenever an opportunity present. The main point is not where to open a position but to define where to give up. I don't take any position on any signal unless I know exactly where to place stops. Those levels also must pass a test on my risk acceptance policy.

Yeah. Somehow I used to think that the market holds the challenging monopoly.
