Evening all,

I have been keeping a close eye on the GBP/USD over today, alot of people are bullish about the near term however the candles in my opinion do NOT agree, here are the reasons for entering the trade:

1) 4H close below previous support at the 1.6290 zone.
2) 4H shooting star formation (almost a mini evening star) showing lack of momentum.
3) 1D has placed a lower high and double top, together with the 8EMA flatting off.
4) 1H showing a lower high and lower low, which indicates lack of buying momentum & rhythm.

Entry @...

Good analysis Yuan. It didn't take you long to understand divergences.

The head and shoulders on EU is now almost complete and the rhythm is back in the market with the 8 EMA first followed by the 21 EMA, then by the 50 SMA and the 89 SMA. The trend is now to the downside.
Right now the price is far away from the 8 EMA so better to wait for a catchup before looking for a TC to the downside.

Overall it appears that the USD is gaining strength. GU and AU have both formed double tops.

Hi Xeneric, good job. Are you agree with me that this month there was no one good TC signal on 4h, cause candles was to high or to far from 8EMA?

Came out of this early this morning for: 0 pips

Exit was due to the higher high on the 5min chart - which I will explain in the video review later.

Yes, very few TCs on the 4 hr this month.

Took a short on GU after the second bounce off resistance on the 4 hr. On the 1 hr, there was a very bearish engulfing signal candle which engulfed 3 candles.


Stop 1.6485
Entry 1.6422
TP1 1.6285 already hit with half
Closed other half early at 1.6265

137+157 /2 = 147 pips

The 4 hr chart shows the second bounce off resistance and the 1 hr chart shows the bearish engulfing signal candle.

Good point. Technically, it could be classified as a ZB TC on the 4 hr chart - even though the ZB is a little wide.
ZB stands for Zero Break.

There is a TC on the 4hr EU chart now. Price bounced off the 21 EMA for the 2nd time in 2 days.

nice moves but actually just curious to ask, it seems like nobody like to post their trades when it is on the go, but instead post when its closed?

and surely someone has some losing trades which we can learn from?
