The following chart is what I saw.....
were you tempted to wait for a breakout, retest, and then continuation in order to go long, as is the case with your analysis on the usd/cad (potential short on break of triangle)?

I understand the notion with current aussie long, just curious to see how you play different breakouts. This one is obviously a horizontal triple top breakout on the dailies, so perhaps that is all the confirmation that you need to take the trade? Thanks

The CAD is a little different because it's possible that this "triangle" might turn out to be a rectangle. The AUD is a definite "W" however.....so it's a little more clear. This CAD really could turn into a large rectangle.

Possible, but I like a little more wiggle room for my trades. I can see that as a possible scenario though.

Thanks CW.

I just thought I'd put it up as a counterpoint to the triangle thats been in the last few pages of the thread. I've long been a fan of parallel channels and although I concede the primacy of horizontal s&r I will personally be careful if the upsloping channel and the 200sma happened to meet price around the same point.

In my main tradable, HSI, I've often found channels to break a little, just enough to create liquidity from those who buy them with a tight stop. So perhaps a liquidity break of the channel might coincide with a kiss of the monthly s&r below the salmon s&r ... and perhaps the 200sma at the same time.

Or perhaps it will cut down like a hot knife through butter.

I did enjoy your description of the EJ trade in the thread. When I came upon it I already knew how it played out so I was curious to observe your actions as the trade progressed. Very nice.

The first chart didn't have that far to go , relative to the size of the bar. The next trouble spot was just below.

The second chart is a grade B trade in my opinion. Not bad, just not great.

I did, thanks for asking, not only that but USD CAD! Not only that but I accidentally set a buy limit on USD CAD as well which is currently in profit. I don't know what's wrong, I'm just the luckiest guy.

This is all going a bit too seventies for me. Steve Hillage was the last man to sing about salmon. Not sure about the salmon zone though?

Kiwi Trader... I have a lot of respect for anyone who can trade succesfully and your analysis and chart bear witness to the fact that you know what you're talking about but the amount of trendlines on that chart makes it look very messy to me.

How do you go about drawing those lines and what purpose do they serve?

AUD into monthly resistance coincides with closing 200 sma.

Paper short at .7225 and stop 7310 aiming for .6850 region at this stage

Note: My time zones are set up for Athens midnight (so 9am = 8am frankfurt = 8am London) so that my midnight opening is the same as the globex opening. I figure that my midnight should either match London or Globex and globex is better for me because IB daily bars start with Globex reopening). I note this just in case your pin bars don't match mine.

You might choose to ignore those green lines. Salmon because I was concerned about the sexuality implications of labeling them pink.

The lines are andrews pitchforks but you could use any parallel channel ... its an alternative to straight trendlines ... which I don't like because I've found that the trend line will often break while the parallel channel doesn't. Trend lines sort of say "the price will respect this supply area below price as it works its way up" while channels say "price is travelling up in a channel and the upper edge and lower edge are the pipe that defines where price is likely to get support."

This isn't really a thread about that stuff so its better that you look up channels or andrews pitchforks (a specialized version) if you're interested.
