There is a daily unsatisfied divergence targeting 0.8636 area
Fyi - no "Igrok"-divergence. Igrok only counts a divergence if zero is not crossed between the two peaks

Wonder how short was your stop? 40-50?

Mr. Igrok does your not traditional TA method involve other patterns than broadening triangles/diamonds?
Yeah. 50 pips.

Sure. There is a variety of them.

Yeah, just found a few examples applied to channels . No wonder such tight stops, still I have a lot to research.

You will find many examples of (successful) channels. Some of my favorites pattern to trade. Usd/cad just broke out of 1h channel.

The charts above are not about channels and successful breakouts, its about symmetry where you can pick the very extreme top or bottom of the channel with high precision so you can place very tight stops and target the other bottom or top of the channel with a high R/R ratio. For privacy and respect of Mr. Igrok, I deleted the way to determine the yellow trendline inside of the channel.

First read the book only then decide if you are ready to "dig deeper" with the thread. Just my 2 pips.

I don't know about others here.

People in the forum talks about trend.. which is vague even the most popular threads here can't define in specific. What is trend ?

Just read how Igrok interpret main move of the day, week, month and year which give direction in yr own trading timeframe. This is one gem !!!
The future depends on what we do in the present.

You would be amazed at how much this has a bearing on things. I have seen some amazing things based on an understanding of this simple point.

I second that

Some interesting things going on. Eur/jpy made a perfect touch on the diamond-formation. Usd/cad seems to have found support right now on weekly TL and eur/usd have a comb on daily TF.

Hi all!

First I would like to thank Mr Igrok for the wonderful book and nice thread, good job! I was told about importance of risk vs return and following the trend more than once, but this time it kinda clicked, that a-ha moment you know ...

Back to business Main trend of the week for EURUSD is down, obvious SL @ 1.4050 for the change of weekly trend ... so we short with a tight stop around TL for failure of 1.4 targeting minimum weekly range (min range only for obvious longer timeframe uptrend case) ... or not?

Another example of market symmetry was formed last week on Kiwi. Note that there is a great importance on the sequence to determine the pattern.
