.....this happened on cable. A firm break northwards from the rising wedge.
Jes, beautiful . In the books is written, when the rising wedge is brocken on the upper side, it follows big move. I saw that the break will be so, but don't have proper setup for entry.

Did you enter ? If yes, where and how/why? Please

By me the same as in the morning: breakout, correction 38% + 138,50, hammer
Nice fib trade, Happy. Maybe I should keep an eye on the EJ!

No, I didn't take it either, Happy. I was to preoccupied with what was happening with a fib trade on eur/usd.

On the chart below, price made a higher swing high and 76.4% retracement after a bounce on the rising TL. First trade is after price crossed the high of the 3rd candle in the higher swing high formation. Second trade is on the recross of the confluence of CP-1.7490 and psyche level-1.7500. TP at MR1-1.7567. Second trade was exited after price hesitated at a possible opposite 76.4% retracement level. First trade exit after the spinning top.

Fx1, if you don't mind, I'd like to give you some "trick" about the "Fibo 76,4". Usually that is the "Fibo of the range". What do that meanes?
-If you are in trend, and the correction is 76,4 fibo, usually after that there is range before the new high/low (if it comes). That means, you can set TP on the 76% of the correction - it is sure.
- If you are in a range and the price fails to make the next 76,4 fibo, that usually leads to breakout.

These are just theoretical staff, but they may be usefull.

Gonna call it a day guys! Thought I would post some of my last trades for the day.

On the first chart, cable made a 50% retracement at the confluence of the rising TL and MR1-1.7567. Bought 2 points above the psyche level-1.7600 after cable made a higher swing high. TP above the previous high. Price hesitated after creating a tweezer top. Decided to close as potential risk to the position has increased.

On the 2nd chart, cable made a 76.4% retracement. Sold after the lower swing high and price crossed below the low of the 3rd candle of the lower swing high formation. TP at confluence of psyche level-1.7550 and 100% extension. Exit after the tweezer bottom and price crossed back above the 100% level.

On the 3rd chart, after the 76.4% retracement, price crossed and closed below the rising TL. Sold 2 points below psyche level-1.7600 and after price crossed below the low of the previous candle. TP was placed and hit at 100% level or 61.8% extension.

On the last chart, cable made a lower swing high on a confluence of 76.4% retracement and the falling TL. Sold 2 points below the low of the third candle in the lower swing high formation. TP was placed and was hit at the confluence of psyche level-1.7550, 100% extension and rising TL.

Happy trading EV and others! See you all tomorrow!

First trade of the day. Cable made a 50% retracement and a tweezer top at the confluence of MR1-1.7556 and psyche level-1.7550. Sold after price crossed below the 2nd candle of the tweezer top. TP at CP-1.7476. TP was missed. Exit when price came back to the psyche level-1.7500.

Edit: Looks like cable is resuming its move down.

Good morning Happy! Frankfurt opens at 2AM EST and that's were the action usually starts. But sometimes, volatility breaks 1 hour earlier. So it's worth watching the market earlier.

Fx1, a question - where do you place the stops?
On trend continuation trades like the ones above, my stops are usually initially placed at the previous swing high/low and I just move them forward when necessary. How about you Happy?
