Any comments on this H/S formation? Any ideas where its going next?

Jim
Jim,

the 4 hr chart also has a H&S. It looks like it might drop. Will watch it closely.
Thanks for the heads up

As a matter of fact I entered a short trade when MACD crossed the zero line. My t/p is just above the neckline in the 4hr chart. Hopefully I'll get my 20 pips here!!

One thing I do (which may burn me soon) is that once a signal is given, I don't pull the trigger right away. I see if price falls a little (long trade). In this case it did fall a little right down in between the 8 ema and 21 ema and then it went up.

Man, this is fun.

Jim
Hi Jim, i noticed that too that the price retraces some on the next candle before going back up(long as in your case) Do you have any specific way to tell how long to wait befor entering on that next candle after the signal? Thanks Jim and Nice trade !

I did not monitor aud last night and saw that it made another high, along with euro. What is chasing them? Anyway, hope you did not short it around 0.7920 because the strong trend continued and price pushed thru the resistance levels easily. I just imagine how many positions of impatient traders burned over this night. Now what? I am still in game. The price is trying to push thru the high made on January 2nd this year and all the rules are in place. If you have ability to convert your chart to 8HR, then you could see it. Good luck.

I just watched this from the sidelines T. I'm not familiar with this pair and I'm currently only trading 2 pairs...eur/usd and gbp/usd. Until I get some consistent trading results, I'll continue with only 2 pairs and just monitor some others for pattern recognition. Glad you save your pips for another day!

Hi,



It should have a second alert that you can set for when price comes within so many pips of the 21 ema to alert you of a possible trend continue signal.

It appears as though from your chart, USDCAD is slowly trending upwards. Is this the consensus here as well? Just curious...

Edit: Sorry, realize ow that was EURCAD, not USDCAD. I asked because I thought USDCAD might have some weakness, but obviously that was the wrong chart!

Good question. I don't have a specific way of telling how long to wait. That's why I said that it will probably burn me soon. Much like entering a trade to early, anticipating the signal, is not a smart thing to do.

If I get a signal. My favorite (obviously) is the Trend Continuation signal. I look to see where the 8 ema, 21 ema, trend line, S/R levels, etc. are in relation to that signal. If price immediately drops (in a long trade) I'll wait to see if it will bounce off those MAs, trendlines, etc. The problem is that price may just take off and there I am waiting, as pips pass me by. So, waiting to long I may miss a trade that would have been a no brainer.

Hi Phillip

That's the way to do it. Don't you just love the 5 min system? So simple and also so easy to trade. I am so jealous, I drove down to George today and now I don't have access to my broadband for trading. I am watching the thread on my mobile/GPRS. no trading possible, I'll join you again next Wednesday.

This looks good. GBP is trending down, 365, 200 and 89 sloping down. 8 & 21 are flating or maybe turning down. I am now waiting for the MACD to confirm this with a Aggressive Reversal. To me, it is following the trend. If confirmed signal, I will see how price acts around the 9400 level. We'll see.

Okay, finally the eur/usd is giving a round top signal...
Anyone taking this as a short?

I usually don't go into positions on fridays... I have a feeling if I enter short now, it will open up 50 pips against me on monday and continue the upwards trend hehe

Got to love following that Trend (89 sma) YEEEE HAAAA.

In at 1.3185 at about where the trend line and the 21 ema crossed paths, which was at the T. C. signal!!!!!!!!!!!
Played 3 lots (micro) took two lots off at the upper trend line at 1.3238. Letting the last one ride.

Go Baby Go!!!!

Man, I'm liking this strategy more and more.

Closed out my last lot at 1.3312. What a ride. 127 pips.

Have a good weekend everyone. Drink plenty of Green Beer on me.
