Hi FX1, did you catch the breakout?

Hi Happy! Yes, I was able to trade the BO. Although my entry was a bit far from the TL break coz i didn't have any entry until the break of the previous swing low. How about you?

No, I had no setup for entry. Now will try with any correction.

After the break of the symmetrical triangle an AB=CD pattern was formed. The continuation was at the bounce off the broken rising TL in confluence with 76.4% retracement. Cable met support near s1.

Nice trade, fx1. Where've you been, man?
.. Hi EV! I hope your trading is going well. Lately, I've been busy with stuff other than trading. My trading time is pretty much limited to the start of the European session. So by 5/6PM (9/10 AM in your time), I'm already finished trading. I hope to trade the EURO-US sessions overlap again soon, hopefully starting next week.

I was looking at this as a symmetrical triangle as the patterns seemed obvious after connecting 2 swing lows and swing highs. Bought after the break of the previous swing high where a tweezer top was also formed. Exit after price hesitated at the xx00 level. Although, this could also have been traded as an AB=CD pattern. (.. I actually did buy after the hammer candle but closed the trade when the dark cloud pattern was formed)

Well spotted re the AB=CD pattern, mate. Plus, I see three different candle patterns described.....tweezers, hammer and dark cloud cover.......! The tweezers in particular could have been easily missed, so well done, mate!
Glad to see you back, and I'll look forward to seeing more of your posts next week.
Take care.

Here's a very quick trade on cable, and you really couldn't get any simpler than this. A little harami forms right on a major psych-line at 1.4700. Entry is at the high of the harami and exit is just above the target, which is the next psych-line at 1.4720. Quick and easy.

Here's another quick one. Price rose above the 1.4720 psych-line then pulled back slightly. Entry just above the high of the pull-back candle and exit as price started retreating from the target of 1.4750.

Another quick-ish one. I saw the harami forming just under the main psych-line 1.4700, and decided to try for a quick 10 pips or so down to the xx.80 psych-line. However, it just kept dropping, and I finally exited after price stopped just above the xx.50 line and started moving northwards again. Honestly, these trades are so easy when there's a bit of volatility about.

Looks like cable is contracting into a small descending triangle. Let's see what happens.

Meanwhile there's a potential ABCD pattern at M15.

Good day, folks, and nice to see you back, fx1.
I've been a bit busy this morning, but I've sort of kept an eye on what's been going on. This trade came about after I saw the spinning top/bullish piercing candle forming right on the xx.50 psych-line, and I decided to wait to see if price would go past the spinning top high, which it finally did, and that's where I entered. I nearly exited at the R2 line, but price seemed to be actually moving away from the ema, so I let it ride. Predictably, the main psych-line 1.2900 proved too strong a resistance, so I jumped ship as price started retreating.

This bearish flag formed on the 15m cable, and would have been a nice opportunity, had I been in a position to trade it, which I wasn't, unfortunately. However, I've indicated potential entry and exit points just for interest sake. There were a couple of earlier breaches of the lower line, but they would have too close to the xx.20 psych-line to risk a trade.

I caught that bear flag on the 5 minute and treated it as wedge for 24 pips. I am really enjoying this site and your instruction eyevoltage

Hello mate, and it's good to know you grabbed that pattern for a nice profit! Glad you're enjoying the thread and good luck with your trading.

This one was a result of all the congestion between the 13ema and the main 1.2900 psych-line, just after the TL break. Once price broke the 1.2900 line, it was pretty straightforward, but it has to be said that I got out a bit too soon. Still, not a bad little trade.

I took the follow up dip at move off the fib line, the old high and the trend line. Departed too quickly for 10 pips, but profits are profits.
