Sure looks like a continuation diamond as main diagonal is pointing upwards, but price is climbing back inside the formation. Was it a fake breakout or even not a diamond pattern?
Too early to come to a definitive conclusion.

Hi Igrok,

Thank you for an interesting thread (I am going through your book now too ).

Do you mainly trade higher TFs (D1, W1), or during times as volatile as we have now you also do some intra-day trades? Considering that FX should be fractal, I guess the same principles would apply to any TF?..

Do you base your trades primarily on patterns or do you use use Price Action too (e.g. for timing entries)?

MANY THANKS in advance!
I trade on all time frames. Never enter a position on timing only as I always must know where to place stops in advance and this must be a certain technical level alos within my money management acceptance range.

any thoughts?

also Igrok, you don't discuss Wolfe in your book. any reason, or just overlooked?

In case I wanted to cover everything that I know about trading I would have never had enough time for trading itself. Would still be sitting writing some sort of an encyclopedia for years.

AUD/USD has finally reached the obvious target and covered that gap at 1.6427. Likely to make some decent extension but I'm out of that short now having neither further reasonable targets no stops levels in mind.

For AUD/JPY 58.67 is a must for now.

Next reasonable Cable target is located at around 1.5150. Also seems that the buck might top out only after the DOW reaches its "must reach" target at below 6971. But for the moment the dollar and JPY crosses are clearly oversold. Some retracement might be expected.

Yeah. That's the one. Unlikely to hold for long though. 1.33 zone looks more solid as a support and a longer-term target.

I don't see what you mean here, if you got time to chat right now. I would assume that 1.3600 would be next long-term area unless I'm missing something obvious ?

TL between the lows of 1993 and 2001. If broken then the parity comes into play.

Back in the days when you had 10 employees, how did you organize (in short words) your trading-floor ? I.e was your staffs job to do research (only) where you made every trade or did someone have own trading-accounts trading different types of your strategies ?

I have always been the only decision-maker. They could only execute trades based on the plan initially approved by me. Sure, they could suggest something for my consideration and further discussion, as well as to criticize my own ideas and suggestions. But I have never had more than three traders-assistants at a time. The others were responsible for some stuff unrelated to actual trading process. I like this way of organization because all the responsibility for the final result is solely mine, and my people don't hesitate to offer some crazy ideas as they are never under excessive stress and pressure.

Did you find it was helpful having other people suggest their ideas, or was it counter-productive?

They all become counter-productive over the years cause people develop their own views, trading style, preferences and professional ambitions. It becomes much harder to find common ground over the years and almost impossible eventually. All of them I hand-picked myself and trained from scratch but most of them work independently now. One more important thing: all of them had become wealthy and financially independent even before they came to assist and to work with me. No gamblers are allowed in the herd. Also must not have any formal financial education or background.
