I wouldn't, That would be buying into weakness, the best trade for the Yen is to let it rally up and sell it when it fails at resistance levels again. As long as the US markets continue to fall so should the Yen. I would only buy after we have seen support levels holding after it makes a rally, you want it to prove to you that it has the potential to go up.
Are you trading real money or Demo?

I am still wondering who should be panicing, US markets or foreign markets, becuse US dollar is taking back a lot of ground insanely faster than it lost in previous months, it's unbeleivable.

Yes the Downtrend fib low point can be moved to the new low, and yes we keep pulling it if new lows continue to be made...until we see it retracing from the Daily then we start with a new Retracement fib.
For now though we want to leave the Retracement fib as it is since it is giving us our Target range on the Daily.

Hi Bo,

Bo, I made nothing but great trades all last week following your method of analysis, and again today. Probably I over simplified your approach, but I sure hope we see this kind of trend again. All I did was follow the intraday and swing fib (since the daily fibs were all indicating south) and sold the rallies...all week long.

The way your fib set up maps the market is really quite ingenious. Now this is probably an exceptional market condition, but at least I am not chasing rallies in a downtrend thinking 'this has to start going up soon'... major shift in thinking for me.

So, I'll keep watching the fibs and see how the price reacts when the trend changes.

Thanks

These are definately the conditions we want to see in the market, there will be times that are not so cut and dry and the markets range for extended periods, during those times we just simply switch gears to more of the scalping tactics with the swing until we see the markets break into trending again.

Update your Intraday to the movement of just today and youll see were testing the resistance of those levels already and could turn short first. It can still take another plunge before attempting a push up.I would at least wait until we see it get above 1.3560 before considering it, that way it will be breaking into the previous support point on the previous waveforms.

Yes, I need to work with these changes before I go live...but after a year of study, your method of market analysis is providing an amazing insight into the market's movements.

May I ask if you actually use interbankfx for live trading or is it just a charting program? If the question is out of line, or distracts from thread, please ignore.

I'm just looking to go live once I experience multiple market conditions and all I'm getting from my internet research is negative on forex brokers.

Truth is, having followed this thread for some time and having been very successful, I'm looking to start trading live. Your method of market analysis is all I use now.

Ive had an account with IBFX for 5-6 years. The reason is the other brokers I use dont offer MT4 which I feel is the best platform for what we do.I still have a live account with them but I do most of my live trading with FXCM and now Saxo.
You'll know when your ready for live trading, just start small and make baby steps to build your account to the point your trading on the houses money at that point it becomes alot less stressful and more like trading with demo money.

I don't see anything wrong with his post, it's about fib trading. The ultimate call is Bo's decision, after all it is his thread.

And I seem to remember you had alot of other "stuff" on your chart before also.....

This user (NiceGuy777) is using a sellers aproach (and a bad one i must say). I know he sells a course or a indicator based on fibonnaci or whatever, and he is using this thread as a bait.

Hey Bo, just suffered a pretty big loss, I am taking a break from forex for a day or two, just been stressed with school, and this is just adding onto it.


I was just wondering though, for future references, you mind explaining how exactly you set stop losses, and how exactly the stop and reverse might work.

I took a long yesterday, and it didn't make it to a high, just failed and shot down so fast, market is ranging and everything, but I didn't follow a good stop loss strategy, and lost quite a bit,(luckily I stil netted pips from last week). But this was a good lesson to learn I guess about how to minimize loss. I am assuming you set losses low of previous candles usually? I'm kinda ashamed by the loss to so it is kinda kick in the pants not be irresponsible and emotional over trading. But I think it takes a big loss to understand that properly.

Now I think if I had stoppped and reverse I would have definitely recovered loss and had a decent profit of pips, so I am just wondering if you could outline how exactly you would go stop and reversing a trade.

Anyway Good Luck with everything. Luckily I followed really good money management, and I'm not close to being in a danger zone when it comes to finances. Lesson learned, take a small loss because you can recoup it later, but risking a big loss will take even longer to recover.

Thanx a lot for everything.
I'll hope to have a better day in weeks and days coming up.
