After having missed the aggressive entry earlier here is another more conservative entry location below the 1.69 (the sell stop is at 1.685 precisely)

i.e...

The break of the neckline forming the double top...Note that this neckline is also a major support resistance flip obviosuly. lol!
Ghous,

Razcek also inspired me. (I guess we can make Razcek Fan Club LOL). But inputs from other senior members in this group are also precious to me. I'm going to try the private PF in few months.

Back to the chart. Just wondering, the aggressive entry is looking for s/r,etc on the bigger timeframe and looking for PA setup at the area for entry in lower timeframe, so we can get early entry asap. Is this somehow right?

Pin Bar looks weak compared to the size of the down move of the previous weeks. Like to see a Pin Bar of equal or greater in size (then the previous weeks.)

It still could work out. Like you said, it will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I understand people will conclude that the week that this PB formed was not a "normal" week so the vaildity of the PB may be questioned. I don't care how Price Action is formed, be it News or otherwise. As long that it is formed, then the next step analysis of Location and confluences begins.

I was also looking at the Weekly on the GBP/CHF and I'm not sure if I drew the divergence correctly, but it appears to be bullish divergence. Also, we are sort of in a no mans land of an all time low.

What do we do when we can no longer look to the left for PPZ's ??

Why do so many still polute their charts with MACDs AOs and MAs?
They don't add any extra information. It's already on the chart.
The MACD only takes those beautiful price numbers and rapes them.

As we say, Location is a big confluence when looking at PA set-ups and this one has it with hitting new Lows. Would be nice if a Weekly PPZ was visible also at this level, but its not.

Going down to the Daily, 8 hour and/or 4 hour charts could gives us a hint of S/R levels on the Weekly. Also Round Numbers play an important role of S/R levels.

James teaches to use MACD for divergence and MA's are also utilised as part of the learning material.

Ah, there is a a lot going on on the 4H chart... Going to the 4H chart I see the 1.5300 level was minor PPZ was acting like resistance until it broke and is now support. I drew a fib off the last 'leg down' and price is getting caught up in the fibo 78.6 1.5750 to 1.5800 level. I'm thinking a strong break of the 1.5800 level is something to watch, which also happens to be the break of the pin bar off the Weekly chart.

Very Nice LVG.

If it does break, I like the 1.5900ish level for 1st target.

The EURCAD daily chart shows weakness at the swing high and a trendline break was my entry signal after price action confirmation.

Also some kind of a weekly beob (just by two pips on my feed) unless there is a massive move to the upside on Suday.

For the divergences. Did anyone had trouble reaching FF? I tried since this morning, only now I can surf FF. Looking to start great week next week.

Happy Trading!

No worries John,

Let me give it another try to help you understand...

PIN BAR: This is a bar which opens, goes in a direction for quite a distance and then returns to close somewhere around the place where it opened. This bar hence will have a really long wick/tail/nose at one end wuthile having a very small body. Such a bar can be of great help to PA traders if this nose is pointing into emtpy space away from the vicinity of price action (refer to chart below). [b]The distinguishing factor betwen a good Pin bar and any other bar is that...
Nice post(s) ghous.

I going to have to call you James16 junior from now on. lol
