Great thanks, I will skim through, I think the charts alone will be worth it.

Thanks for the help guys! Now does anyone know how to turn off the non 00 numbers on the Y-axis? The only way I can do it is turn foreground to none but that takes the vertical lines away.

Its a ways away, but nonetheless a solid reaction point over time. Worth the attempt in the event of an approach. 10 pip range as always.

This one is a little different; a pattern we see happen a lot.

Its kind of like the bottom of the bucket, for now we'll just call it a "spike base". It happens when price makes a huge spike, when the spike gets taken out in the opposite direction, the bottom of the original consolidation area is used as a fade, in this case, its 1.1780.

I talked about briefly in a couple examples for the last video, on EUR.

We've also got the 76.4 retracement of this last move coming in here around the same figure, along with double zeros 20 pips higher, and a good history in general with this area. Worth a shot.

Hi welcome. No indicators used here, and you can find everything on the first post of the thread. Much much to discuss, but ultimately its pretty easy.

Hi all,

The former 50% retracement of 1.5722-1.3501 is 1.4611, and 1.4600 has a good history behind it in general.

Just watch out for spastic sell-offs as cable is, in general, considered 'overbought' at the current range and a couple hundred pips can be a walk in the part for this pair.

1.4580 is the local low so I would be alert for that, as well, in the event of spikes lower.

And if it wants to take it out alltogether, my next area long would be in the 1.4380 area.
Just a quick question, how do you estimate/determine an 'overbought' range without indicators?

Oh, just a general statement based on any overbought/oversold indicators. You could use pretty much anything you want. I look at a stochastic rsi on occassion but never rely on it. If you search the thread you'll find one for metatrader.

This isnt an 'if this tells you this and this tells you this' type of strategy. If you read the posts linked in the first post you'll understand better.

That looks good as it is backed up by a daily TL which was supportive yesterday.

13072 in EurUsd was a level I had marked up for some time but hit before I woke up.

A swiss bank is buying Eur right now so that should help.

Hi Red Cabbage,. Thanks for telling me about the euro buys, didnt know that. Took it based on what I saw on other charts. Also just get feeling that positive usd would pull usjap over line and that would also push this up.I know none of it seems totally logical, but all together it works for me. Glad I left last night when I did, doesnt seem much moved all night for you guys. I might be at the a,,,, end of the world, but my time for trading is pretty good. Have a good one.

What I see in my mind as I look at the charts, is that there was quite a drop on many, nzd to my 5708 line, pound and euro quite a way down, and usdcad touched a line on top side I had marked, so I figure it is time for something to move, and as soon as it did by just a couple of pips all at once on so many charts, off I go. What we were talking about last night with many charts in view at once.

It is always good to stop trading for the day when YOU decide not when the market decides for you. Psychologicaly (and financially) it is very important that we control our trading instead of our trading controlling us.

The only big mover was USDCAD from 120 which you predicted. Sorry if I influenced your decision to stay out but I still think it was more of a coin flip trade at that point in the day. And as you had already hit a good daily pip target it would have been a shame to risk giving some back!

Your place in the world is great, by the time I get up you guys have had your beady eyes on the market for hours.

You and Siam are my early warning system!

Funny you should mention that usdcad trade because I lamented not going with my gut. It would have been good. Then I reverted back to our discussion about not tying yourself to a trade, walking away, forgetting it. I have always struggled with that. Our discussions have helped me become more detached. This eurjpy is slow, but having gotten in there early I have pips in the bucket, plus stop loss set, so I can afford to let it hedge around. That helps at this time of night when things jump about a little. To get in too late would mean a nervous wait. The usdjap is dropping a little and I expect that to affect me, but will not be too concerned yet.

Everyday there are loads of risky pips on the table but there's a price to pay if our strategy is too aggressive. I am very happy to bank safe pips and keep my hit rate higher overall.

The gbpusd looks like a head and shoulders on the one hour chart. Does anyone think that will influence.
