I really liked that PB setup on USDCAD also. I was however turned away at first because of that 1.2300 staring at me. I have some time to consider it, but I think I will place a stop limit order below 1.23 a little. That way if it breakes the round number and pulls back I'll get a decent entry. Then of course take 30 pips and move to BE for a free ride.

I've had my eye on this one for a while after it broke short. The only thing I'm caught up on is where to place my sell order. In my chart I highlighted some bar highs and lows and the round number/ppz at 1.23 which is about 23 pips under the low of the pin.

I'm thinking of either:
1) Selling at 1.2313 and moving my stop to B/E when it hits 1.23

2) Waiting for a break of 1.23 and selling at around 1.2293

Regardless of which entry I will be watching for the reaction at 1.23

You'll get a better picture of what Price is doing without any distractions or confusing wiggly lines.

I have the 150 & 365 ema, PPZ's, round numbers, daily channel lines, 2x fibs, macd & volume

... but I notice that you just have the major and the most recent PPZ

This is great stuff Ghous also Scott087.
I've been away for a few days and to come back to this is a real learning experience for me.
Initially I agreed with how Scott viewed the trade, and the probs around 1.23 then when Ghous posted his chart it gave me a different viewpoint and pips to be made before the 1.23 area.
The different entry levels, stop levels and how profit would be taken (hopefully all going to plan)/MM it's all great food for thought.
This is a perfect scenario for me to test 2 different approaches, demo for me!
Thanks fella's (everyone that is) it's always good on the j16 thread. It's just that some days are REALLY GOOD.

Cheers Gov

Look at the left eye of the pin bar, what we're seeing right now is a retracement into the daily pin bar, the high of this left eye may well mark the acme of this pullback, retrace entries go here...

Yes, PPZs (RNs) and Price.

No doubt, I'll use 150, 200 & 365 emas at times, I'll check MACD and a few fibs levels, but if there is no confluence on a key location I'll remove them.

Hello,
I've found theese two a little bit similar. I see this as good one. Trend, pullback, confluence. Hoping for same outcome as GU (on the picture)

Only thing that I don't actualy understand is why is this nice formation appearing when canadians lowered their rates... I would suspect CAD to loose its power after that, but I am no economist. If someone could help me understand what's going on I would be grateful.

1st partial entry @2400 missed one pip.
2nd partial entry @2380.
Now waiting for break or reaching 1.24 again.

I am phobic to Fundis so maybe Mark (Rac) will come up with your answer,

What I felt like asking you was the need to have the volumes indicator there on your chart? You do know it's not the actual volumes don't you? Unlike the stock market such a global market has such data lies surreptitiously only with the big boys (feds, central banks and governments) the bars that you see on your volumes indicator is just a measurement of ticks/per period, so on the 4H chart a single volumes bar measures the number of pips the pair has moved in either direction (holding 1 pip move as a single measuring unit.) for a period of 4H.

If you're trying to depict momentum from this indicator you might better replace it with a macd, or any other MA based indicator to spot divergences...

No impudence intended, just a brotherly advice.

Regards,
Ghous.

There was a spike up on the announcement, which was immediately sold into, suggesting that the 'big money' is short.

Hey Schneeule

It's mainly the retail investors that cause this - the smart money is already positioned the other way (you can tell from the overall trend). News times often cause these sorts of moves but often they are short lived and the reason being is that it is unlikely that one piece of news will sway the scenario. The big players have taken a decision on what they believe to be the value of a currency and that is reflected in the overall trend. Interest rates are just one piece of the puzzle in a countries economy.


cheers

Yes I was wondering about that rising trend line after the 4h pin formed on the USDCAD.

IMO the price interacts more acurately when the TL is drawn on open/close point.
