Hi aediaz1
I believe the euro just changed its weekly direction. I wonder what to think of it. I also wonder if you have any clue on why is that Mr. Igrok mentioned 1.50-1.53 as a more probable reversal area... Many thanks.

Interesting formation on USDX. Some kind of a diamond or just a potential triangle? Wish Igrok could ellaborate on this one.
Looks like a diamond with target @ 77.

Belekas is that a dollar index on your chart, right?

Hi aediaz1

This is interesting from the perspective of making a suitable trade entry. Say you are expecting a bounce from a trendline or triangle/diamond, do you wait for a long reversal bar to form before initiating the trade or do you just place an order 20-30 pips before the line and the stop 20-30 pips behind it and hope for the best. I find that I tend to mess up a lot of trades if I do it this way. On the other hand if I wait for a clear reversal bar, my stop has to be quite large. Hope you could share your experiences.

Hi compro,

Thanks for the response. I am assuming that the preliminary has been done according to Igrok's method (probability assessment, main move, etc) but what I am concerned is the final execution.

I usually place limited orders 5 pips away from the TL.

Common sense is needed too. If price moves like crazy, I rarely buy/sell against that move.

a limit buy order in the 134ish area, right on an ipotetical third touch of the ascendening tl could give a good opportunity for a 400 pip run ....
..... am i thinking right????
