I'm in at 1.8218......
.....and jumped ship at 1.8238.

Edit: A bit premature, I know, but I always figure that 20 pips is always a reasonable target.

Yep, a really impressive "dark cloud cover". Looks like we got in out of the rain!!!

Could this be a descending triangle with the floor being the confluence of MR1-1.8209 and and psyche level-1.8200? What do you think EV?

Here's a reversal pattern know as a "dark cloud cover". It's made up of four candles. Candle 1 opens just above the previous candle's close. Candles 2, 3 and 4 complete the pattern, because all 3 candle bodies are still enclosed by the body of the previous candle to Candle 1. This is a strong reversal pattern, as can be seen by the resulting price drop.

Yes, I agree, fx1, and as it has proved recently, that confluence has a lot of strength to it. Should be interesting to see how price handles it.

Alternatively, it could be one of these.......

Could this be a trade if it breaks the TL and the 38.2% fib? Let's see how it goes......

Here's a good fib trade with a 76.4% retracement and an extension upto the confluence of psyche level-1.8050 and MS2-1.8041. Price reacted at the confluence then crossed back up which is another good entry.

I entered @ 1.8017 (ask price), after price crossed the high of the second candle of the tweezer bottom. How about you chowclown? Where would you have entered?

I tend to enter on a break of the internal fibs (so 61.8 in this example), need to build more confidence before taking the earlier entries, especially on deeper retracements. I watch this thread all day picking up gems here and there. Thanks to you and everyone else who take the time to post.

Your welcome chowclown! I myself is only a student of forex. I come by this thread and others to share and learn. Feel free to do so too. I usually look at reversal candle patterns which indicates that the trend is going to continue already. But in instances where there are no patterns like on long body candles, I enter a trade at the break of the internal fib levels as well.

Sometimes, I look at triangle patterns like this trade below. Price formed a penant at the confluence of MS2 and psyche level 1.8050. It showed a couple of spinning tops and a doji near the apex of the penant showing indecistion. Entered a trade at the break. I placed my TP 3 points above the confluence of psyche level-1.8000 and S2-1.7995. I tend to place my TP on the nearest risk zone like a confluence or spot support or resistance.

Edit: I tend to place my TP on the nearest risk zone like a confluence; spot support or resistance; or 100% Fib expansion level.
