.. Got in at 1.7975 after the break of the triangle. TP hit at 1.7995. Placed it at the lower risk level of the confluence of MS1-1.7995 and psyche level-1.8000.

Edit: Look at it go!

Looks like cable is ranging sideways. This might be a good time for a range breakout trade.

Edit: With confluences on both sides. Confluence of MS2-1.8041 and psyche level-1.8050 on top. S2-1.7995 and psyche level-1.8000 at the bottom.

Watching a possible fib trade coming up on eur/usd.

Edit: It's retraced to 61.8%. Watching for a TC now.
Edit: On reflection, don't think I'll bother. Gone through 61.8%, plus S1 is running between 50.0% and 38.2%. Good one to stay out of.

Breakout to upside!

Edit: I'm in from 1.8051.
Edit: Exit at 1.8075 just in time. Saw that strong white candle coming down and a tweezer top.

Nice one, fx1.

Wonder if anyone thought to take advantage of these patterns this morning? Not a fib in sight!

Edit: The spinning top touching 1.4261 could also be part of a bearish engulfing pattern, if you look at the following candle.

Lovely trade, fx1. And like all our trades on here, not an indicator in sight, other than lines and TL's.
Says it all, really.

Excellent illustration EV! Talk about trading naked!... I think SpecialEd and Acumen may have just coined your handle: "King of the Candlesticks".

Hi Guys - as always, some interesting posts

This was how I saw this move - the initial alert was the higher low at the green tick and the higher low at the arrow was for me a buy - then with a narrow stop - or safer, the buy on the break of 1.8972.

Take some off after the wide range candle at 12:00 and let some run with the stop trailing up the lower APF line and see if it makes a second attempt on the S1 level of 1.8086 - but that's held several times today...

After the breakout from the range. Price retraced by 61.8%. Confluence of MS2-1.8041 and psyche level-1.8050 became a good support. Price then continued up, until it met a resistance at S1-1.8087 forming a tweezer top. Good entry would have been after price crossed, 1.8050 or after it crossed 61.80% level form the bottom of the fib (or 38.2% retracement level from top). TP at nearest risk level of S1.

LOL - I cant resist posting my 1 min chart - I "micro managed" my last position, trailing my stop behind each candle.

As soon as it stalled at the small spinning top (?) I was ready to exit and as the bearish engulfing candle turned back from the new high and went red I hit the close button,actually getting out at 8166 - that was fun.....now back to the Dow.....

Edit: lol - chart now back to the slow old 5 mins....

You're right fx, and way to go, EV. You really do the readers of this thread a service. I have learned a lot from you, I know, and I appreciate it.

I caught 60+ PIPs today, in between changing diapers and running activities for the 14 month old. Was a great day to trade on EUR/USD. I think I could have gotten 150+ easily. Hands full, but then EV, I know you know all about that.

You chaps have a great weekend.

You're too kind, mate. I'm just happy to help out in any way I can. I'm delighted that you managed 60+ pips today, Ed. You're right, it was a good day for trading, and in between running around, I managed some pips as well.
By the way, you should take a close look at the charts posted by matsf, Ed. He's right when he says "no comment". No words are required when you view such beautiful simplicity. He's a man after my own heart!

Have a good weekend, mate, and maybe we'll see a bit more of you next week. I miss your contributions, mate, but hey, domestics come first......as you so rightly say, I know all about that! C'est la vie.......

Take care, and don't go drinking out of damp glasses!

MATSF, man it's funny that you posted all those Bullish Continuation Flags. EUR/USD acted very similarly today. I was trading on the M15 and trying to decide where (around a psych) to enter. While deliberating, I looked to the M5 and M1 and waa laa! Flags/pennants all over the place.

Get this trade - I went long on EUR/USD at 1.4260, based on what I saw. I anticipated a new daily high so I set 30 PIP S/L (1.4230), 25 PIP TSL, and no T/P; was just gonna let it run. Well, price got all the way up to about 30 and retraced down to about 8 or 10. My stop loss (via TSL) got moved to 1.4268. I had actually intended to close the trade at 1600EDT because I don't like to leave a trade open into Sunday, but guess what I did. I think you'll approve.

Since my new S/L is at +8, I decided to leave the trade open. My hope is that the market will gap UP again Sunday, like each of the past two weeks. If that happens, I should make a ton of money, right?

OK, last post on this thread for today (baby's asleep, but market's closed). Best to you all,

Ed

My post wasnīt primariliy about the continuation flags, but on the importance of the "80-20-thing" on the cable...

Hope, that there is an up-gap so ýou can grab a lot of money !!!
