Would you mind walking me through your logic on that? Why 3738, and why a 15 pip stoploss?

I'm a pattern guy and right now I've got nothing, so I'm curious what you're seeing.
He thinks it'll retrace about 50%.

Its pretty easy really, there is a Weekly top at 1.3738 and if you draw a trendline on the 15 min chart, you can see the impass and since it is a valid support, you can take a trade with a very acceptable stoploss of 15 pips and your target is 60. Good R & R. If it stops me, no prob because its only .001 of a percent of my profits for the week.

But I still think price can go a little higher and then the main downward will start.

Anyway, I'm in. if this signal faild for sure next one is the right one.

Understood. Thanks
I entered at 58 to start building in my longs for this last leg down BUT got out cause I dont think this is our upswing so 7pip on that one. I think it will go alittle deeper especially before the 2pm news.

Usually pulls back againsed itself for a good move when fomc comes out.

We have an important news in 70 minutes. I feel that can be the start of a new Bearish wave.

OK, I understand your thinking. But I would have expected resistance at that point on the way up if it was support on the way down. Or are you simply thinking that the intersection of those two lines makes a convenient target?

Thanks for the help!

If I'm not at least 30 pips up by 15 minutes before the news then I'll go flat then wait for the next entry signal.

Did it complete a Wave 1 *1.618 = top of Wave 5
wave 3 * 0.618 = top of wave 5

move?

I am not sure if the wave 5 is finished, for sure we are in wave 5 of 5. and I feel it is possible to be in wave 3 of 5 of 5. that means this is the final retracement if it is a retracement!

or maybe it is the start of wave A or 1.

The best thing to do in this situation is to wait. even if this is start of new downward wave you will be able to enter at the start of wave 3 of 1 or A that has the main profit of this wave.

I myself prefer to be in the market even if my stop less get touched, max -50 pips and that will be ok with me.

about the targets of wave 5, just the start of closter has got touched (127) and thats why im not very sure about the end of this wave it can be go a little higher max 100 pips ( top of wave 5 on 161). What I can surley say is that the Bearish market will start very soon and it is powwerfull especially in wave 3 of 1 or A.

I opened a short at 3787 and chomped the bit as it slowly gave me profit and then rush up to negate it. I finally took profit for 32 pips and am glad as it ran up again shortly after. All my stochs from 4hrs and down say mad retrace is in order but daily stoch is overbought, just turned back long and with room to run. At this point another push up wouldn't surprise me but the recent top smacked the trendline leading up coinciding with the daily stochs cycle up from the bottom. Kind of tells me it could be toast with the possiblity of a spike to or through the high after the trendline rises up more after the close of the daily candle today. I would look for shorting spots if that happened.

I am looking for shorts now instead of longs and grumbling about how I can't hedge anymore. It was beautiful the way I'd be able to lock in profits and protect against retrace action that is now a lost stategy for me. I don't like having to close perfect opens to lock in profit and hope to get a good spot if I want to rejoin.
