Thanks jay, "Wisdom" sounds so pretentious. Seems like there should be one for SmartA$$ as well then... Of course everyone would want that one.

Me being too stupid to know what it was sort of negates the rating tho. Never mind.
I would get about 2000 SmartA$$ ones right off the bat.

But I think you deserve the rating. You need at least 4 to award them. I will if and when I get to that point.

High guys. I'm just learning a little bit about elliot waves. I know some of you use them here. I was wondering what you thought of the pic below. It definitly fits the description of an elliot wave at completion.

The new wave has begun and is circled in red. The question is, for how long will it rise? How do you trade elliot waves?--I suppose you'd have to use fibs in conjunction with it but you still don't know when one wave has ended and another begins. Seems like a waste?

See this link for a quick look at elliot waves if you don't know what i'm talking about:

I don't have a current wave count on 30M chart but yours is not right. ABC, unless on a higher timeframe, are not supposed to be bigger than a 5 Wave - just for starters. And the way you have them labeled is hard to understand where you begin and end them?

ahh ok, I see that I don't know all the rules. I'll go do some more research.
Thanks SunTrader

I only skimmed the baby pips site and thought I'd see what it was all about in a broad sense.

Here's a weekly to ponder while things are stalled...

Current price of 2550 is right at that white circled 23% fib. That fib is from the green bull candle that set a new low and has not had either the high or low broken yet, it's a "working fib" at this point to give a quick reference for where we are relative to the week that made a new low. You can see the fib levels respected fairly well with last weeks high and so far this week as well.

The heavy dotted PINK line is an arbitrary S/R line that ballparks a zone of strong S/R going back to 2004 and 2006. I think of that line as being maybe up to 100 pips wide.

Obviously a break and weekly close below that line should really get our attention and open up the next step down in price movement. Even a daily close below it would get my full attention...

EW counts differ from people to people. But the basic facts remain the same. 5wave impulse followed by 3wave correction. If you consider the recent break from the triangle, I would start by treating that as an impulse and count 5 waves down to trend line/fib support. The current correction needs to be treated as a typical 3 wave A-B-C move. Look at lower time frame to count 5/3 sub waves for Wave A, 3 sub waves for Wave B and 5 sub-waves for Wave C. For exact details of fib levels to watch for each part of the corrective wave completion, I recommend you read http://www.tradingfives.com/articles...wave-guide.htm

If your head starts spinning, stop counting lower time frames and stick to daily/4h charts which are less noisy.

One more look at the weekly from a longer term view using my old weekly swing fib w/ extensions that have worked very well so far. Don't fix what ain't broke, and don't break what works...

Next target on the way to the mid 116's is that shaded 179% extension.

It just broke it.

It didn't before because this pair, like Popeye, needs it's spinach.

2650 is not not impossible not. Or maybe it is

Liking these levels... shorting 151.70 GY, 123.80 EJ, and 2626 EU with tightish stops, as I don't trust GY to not tear up another hundred or two, and that would ruin the party. But considering London opens in 30m, this might be as high as the frankensteins want to push things...

we'll know pretty fast I'd think.

price action psychology 101

on days like today because of the holiday in the states and few players in the markets patterns do not have much relevance. instead horizontal supports and resistances are crucial. in this particular case...1.2580 was strong resistance most of the day. now...its acting as strong support...in other words the bear move does not start until that 1.2580 gets broken decisively...take a good look at your chart

Good morning Psi,

Daily range is at 121, meaning that our best PIPs are ahead of us. I'll enter short after 1.2565 but probably not before.

Still in your contest?

got in at 2626 based on s/r levels and what time it is... mid frankie session. candle patterns don't carry much weight with those boys, they just do what they want to. see previous post and chart below for that w/ entries on the green shaded things.

you know, don't take this wrong, but your inverted 30m hns looked like a typical sideways asian session channel with a dip in the middle to me. A genuine hns is a reversal pattern in any event, and I'd be skeptical of this current downtrend reversing on a weak 30m pattern no matter what it was. it'd take alot more than that to get me to go long against this tide, but you had a stop, so that's good.

yea but im not going to win it....i came to realize others who play in the contest have multiple accounts....their main account worth xxxx and their mini account which starts at 250$ where they overleverage without a care in the world if they lose that 250. for me...i cant overleverage like that yet so i do it the super hard way with 25cents at first per pip and now 50cents....somehow i am ranked 11...2 weeks and a half left maybe ill get top 5
