Hi all,

Since everyone is talking japanese this morning, just wanted to through my two cents in.

Price has broken through a trend line and has since retested it and seems to be making a inverse hammer off of the trendline after filling the gap to the 8ema.

the Eur/Usd has come out of the triangle and might be filling the gap before heading higher. Will be watching it today as well.

actually the 365ma is such a strong support over there (correction it's the 365)

Morning WG or shall I say Morning SENSEI (since everyone is speaking Japanese)
It sounds like you are expecting a big pullback.
just a after action thought, I didn't place the trade nor look at EUR USD pair previously but on H4, the formation of the few candles around the support line, together with a slight bullish divergence is probably a reason to enter the trade

I took a short here on the usdjpy.

reasons:
broke trend line, retested it and bounced off of it forming inverse hammer.
gap to 8ema filled.
macd TC signal
nice separation between the 8, 21 ema

will explain more why i took the trade in a few hours.

My trade from yesterday, a loss of 65 pips. One mistake I can see. I should have set my first TP higher, closer to where price turned around earlier, see the 1st x mark. If I would have set my 1st TP a few pips higher my 1st TP would have been hit and I could have set my SL so worst case scenerio would have been BE. In order to set my 1st TP at minimum of 25 pips, my entry would have to be 3-5 pips higher.
As for whether it was a good trade... that is for the individual to decide. I knew price was in a ranging period, but it looked alright to me.

Thank's Saka.

Does this situation qualifies as Double Top think that would be a good short.

I think you may be a bit confused about this TC pattern... the MACD is above zero so TC's would be in the long direction.

No i am not "confused" what you are saying is correct in a sense that trend is upward so TC should be a long trade but i am just naming the MACD signal as TC.

I have not been around in a while, I know things have changed regarding Mr. Nel's journeys onward but the method has been working well and has been practically unchanged since the beginning. Calling TC's on patterns that are not actually TC's might confuse someone learning (as yourself).
I am not trying to be a mean guy here, just trying to lead you toward the basics of the system. 4hr chart is used for basic signals then if you please, look at the 1hr 5min or whatever for confirmation.
This method has done me well by following the basic rules, looking for patterns, looking at price action - harmony. Stick with it and you will do well.
