hi mark, "just a round number" to me is just the same as a guess!! should nt there be more of a reason than that!!??even round numbers will be ignored in favour of horizontal PPZs.Its just that in case ,to me,the round number seems to be hanging in mid air and holds no real significance.?
cheers
I actually said I thought it would retrace to 1.3750 in my initial post, which I think is a S/R area, don't have my chart at the moment.

I would say that round numbers are very important and orders usually build up around them and therefor price reacts. Also price is usually heading towards a round number due to the big players trying to get it there. I wouldn't advise ignoring them over HLine S/R as H/L S/R is subjective depending on what you see as S/R on which time frame etc. Round numbers are objective and always will be.

sorry mate, i didnt explain myself very well...i do understand about the round numbers, and i remember your posts, it wasnt a q. directed at you,its just your post was convenient to raise the issue. the issue i had was that,in this case, it wasnt backed up by anything.and stronger sup. was lying jus below, so i saw/see no reason for price to pause at the round number when a more obvious PPZ was just below???if a round number coincides with a PPZ then i will add extra weight to it. i have found that as with all the levels, confluence is still nesesary.

What do you folks think about this 4hr setup on oil?
Looks good Ted. Running into heavy Res.

And . . .

James16:

THIS IS CRITICAL.

WE MUST LEARN TO:

Notice a strong s/r area just beyond our pa if it exists.
Know that if we trade into it we had better be prepared for a quick reversal that could give us a loss if we are not prepared.

if we know its there, we have several choices.

1. get out when it gets there for a small profit.
2. take a small partial profit and move the remainder to BE.
3. stay in with your total position hoping for a break and move your stop to BE.
4. Dont enter until the level has been broken.

The reason is its a round number therefore it will usually be enough to cause some kind of price action, not necessarily a reversal.

I've got a computer stacked in the corner with no screen half the time that runs 24 hrs and does my alerts. (email to SMS)

....And my trusty notebook. Nothing special.

If I was in a better time zone I'd probably rush to something fancier, but I check the charts periodically. Don't need multiple screens. ...Most of the time.

I plug in an external monitor into the notebook as a second screen when I'm watching stocks. That's about it.

"...and my body went this way! And my head went that way!!"

The aussies here will know what I'm saying.

UCad is heading strongly up, and A/U is heading strong down. Waiting for U/C to show it's hand on retrace.
Bundy I just had to post this for a light moment and for all of you who were curious about Bundys earlier quote....

believe it or not, there doesn't need to be a bigger reason then that The psychological impact of a round number is enough to create orderflow

Also many of your PPZs, are created b/c of the round number, not the other way around

Strange. I'm using Brocos MT4 feed, simply cause of the range of instruments available. Where is yours from?

edit:I see from the chart its FXPro. I'll have to compare them.
