The H4 chart shows a re-test of the upper channel which has been neatly ploughed since Dec 18th.

I am looking for a bounce off this blue channel border and a test of 1.3050, the mauve line.

The Donchian channel (grey) also confirms this at 1.3060. But are we allowed to use these on this thread? I'm wondering...

So close above here would be a classic break out of the double bottom off the yellow support trendline from Oct 28th, with a TP1 of 1.33 area.

I don't like to take trades on weekly charts but this one might be valid setup to go short { USDSGD , BEOB }
We should have some room at least to 1.4850 area with potential PT1 above 1.6000. What do you guys think about the setup?

I am looking at that ppz as the 1.79 price level. My pin bar's low is at 1.7983, a trade should well have abt 70 pips before it hits 1.79....

I'll be taking the trade on the break of the Pin bar and probably just move my SL to breakeven and perhaps even book some profit at 1.79....

Regards,
Ghous.
I got this one on my feed also and I'm taking it. I have one quick question though. I'm not sure when to place my short orders since it's a Friday setup and we will be opening with the Asian session and there is a possibility of a gap. Would it make sense to wait for London to open?

If you could let me know how trade Friday bars regarding sundays open and dealing with price gaps that would be very helpful.

Thanks!

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately for me I am away for most of the starting ceremony for the week, it's unlikely if this Monday's open would be different.

To deal with this problem I have all my analysis done over the weekend and all I do is place my trades Monday open, waiting for the early dust to settle and let the main Uk and US sessions begin is'nt a bad idea but missing the trade early on for me is more like missing the trade altogather...so i'll have to go with a trade early open anyways...

Dealing with gaps only has to do with a slight change in choosing your order type. Instead of a sell stop I might need a sell limit if say we gap down on Monday below my entry point because obviously a break of the Pb due to a gap is not the right way to look at it, if this happens I will have my limit order waiting for the gap to close...

Regards
Ghous.

How about this 4hr pin on AUD/JPY?

It seems to be at a good location, 62.00 and 50% Fib levels.

It's not a very big pin though and the previous congestion could be a problem.

Thanks for any input!

Its risky to take small pins like that on high momentum. Need better prove of bears coming in then that. Price is high, retrace could come anytime but wait for price to slowdown before catching the top.

Datogio,
Just to clarify, I show the EUR/GBP at 0.8769/0.8774, which would make you in profit if you entered short on Tuesday. That being said, I would try to 1) cancel the order. If it cancels, you may be able to place a new market order to close or 2)try to call your broker to execute the trade for you...

I have faced the problem before. I cancelled the order and placed a new order and it worked... broker error. Good luck and let us know how you solved the problem.

Edit: PS - what broker are you using? Maybe try closing/reopen software?

Sounds like your broker isn't open for business yet hence not being able to move stop etc. If you are very nervous you may want to cut your risk (or demo) in future until you understand the broker hours etc.

Yes I'm in profit I even managed to bank some profit already, but it makes feeling of unsafety, what if I wasn't in profit.

I'm trading with a small broker poltekfx not even sure that you've heard. I'll have to wait because live support is offline at the moment.

Thanks for help my friend

Edit: It passed my stop loss below, maybe it's better to hold the position anyway

It's the first time I faced the situation like this, that's what made me nervous.

It might close the gap but don't bet more than a tin of cat food on it. IMHO.
