i will. it's not so easy as it might seem.
I have a feeling it can be very hard. Already sense a hint of frustration from the programmer lol

Liviu; I second your signature when I saw your chart. Now why do you feel a need for posting it here ?
you're right - i'm not apparently at all in harmony with general posting in this thread.

for me the turn arround happened when i became able to see the same thing by different 3-4 different ways of chartings. reading Igrok's book helped a lot.

Have fun!

A long shot - could this be a diamond forming on the GBPUSD h4 chart?
As there ain't a broadening triangle on the left, maybe not.

I just don't like the sequence of moves on the "opening" triangle.

Good evening dear thread members,

I was wondering if this could be a diamond formation in the making for Swissey? Or just my imagination.

Thank you in advance

JP - thanks for your comment. Looking at it again after a break there ain't really a triangle there even with some imagination.

Hi djambozov84 - I would say jupiter_peak's comment about my "diamond" could equally apply to yours.

Maybe some of the other more experienced diamond spotters could explain just how much of a triangle is required to fall into the category of a diamond.

Guys have you to read the whole thread? It have been posted numbers of times.

Remember that you need a broadening pattern for a start. Here's an example of broadening bottom. The low and high market on the chart is ok, but after that you'll need a low lower followed by a higher high. If you don't have a broadening for a start, you can't have a diamond.

From the chapter about diamonds;
(...)such a conclusion can be made only
after the market has already formed the left side of the formation (which is
nothing but a broadening triangle) and at the moment is forming a second
half of the formation. The second half is also a triangle, but a regular one.

Broadening + triangle = diamond. If you don't understand the concept of a broadening pattern or triangle, there is no point in hunting diamonds. Before you can run, make sure you can walk properly.

Aediaz,

Very nice!!

Just adding, any formation (ie. triangle, broad, triangle, wedge, etc) has to have the right sequence of moves inside it. Otherwise, it makes no sense.

By that, I mean "touches" that form the lines in an orderly fashion:

Up, down, up, down - correct
Down, up, down, up - correct
down, down, down, up - wrong
up,up, down, down - wrong... and so forth.

So the very "birth"of any formation has to follow these "steps"

I hope the above text is clear enough and that my poor englich didn't screw it up.

JP.

Keeping in mind that USD/YEN met minimum diamond outcome and is free to drop as Igrok posted the NZD/JPY weekly comb looks attractive to me. Dont know about you guys, but seems most JPY crosses are bearish.

Hi B.
I went short at a nice price, 64.00 right on a resistence .. it turned out to be a perfect spot to long yen.
Short because i saw a combo on weekly, so I scaled down to 4h and there was a tl with 3 perfect bounces on low that now price just broke through.
Already lowered my stop to lock in some pips; Don't know where target could be, but i'm aiming for at least 60.00.

Hi JP and aediaz1 - just to labour the point, some more discussion.
I have read all the posts about diamonds and I have the book, what I need now is experience.

JP no worries, your "poor englich" screwed it right down (made the point clear).

I'd like to ask you the following:
Looking at Igrok's post #3048 showing the diamond on the weekly DJA, there is only one touch on the lower left line and one on the upper line on the left side of the main diagonal, so to me it does not appear to be a clear broadening triangle.
This is the difficulty I am experiencing - it seems you cannot simply expect a clear broadening triangle where both the the lower and upper sloping lines on the left of the main diagonal each have more than one touch, as shown on templates 19.11 and 19.12.

This is the difficulty...
Try drawing lines through the price and you'll see that the sequences are correct. Don't get too frustrated when you don't get some of his post, I have the same feeling from time to time like with his usd/jpy diamond I never understood.
