I bought GBP CHF at 17500. Anyone else like the look of the support here?
i'd kill for that setup but i don't see any price action to confirm that "buy"..maybe its just me...

Actually there is no system. Simply draw 1 H chart and on the NEXT
Dollar pop like today, fine those support lines and set your BUYs.

There are a few big moves just about to occur. I'd be tempted to wait for the PA to actually happen rather than just buy blindly in case it does hold.

Don't get me wrong, your trade could well be a winner but it could tank too, there's nothin' at the moment to tell you either way? I hope your stop loss is either very big or very small! (not sure which would be better)
I had this level in mind from previous action. Its a good round number and has been support and resistance before although its only really visible on the Daily. The last time was the 23rd June and on the 24th it just took off. If you were going to wait for PA at this level looking back at 23rd + 24th how would you have played it?

1.75 is without doubt an excellent level to watch for PA; it is a very important hystorical level, and i was tempted to buy like you. But i didn't. I hope to see PA to tell me to go long in the lower TF...

Well I've got it on my weekly chart quite firmly. Why did it take off on the 24th? Because the Swiss central bank stepped in to weaken their currency as CW explained.

I am going to wait for PA at this level but I use candlesticks so I'm waiting for a doji reversal or similar.

The point with this particular setup is that eurchf reaching 1.50 was the reason the chf took off and eur chf hasn't weakened back to that level quite yet so just why would gbp chf do anything else but drop despite s/r?

The point in general is that certain bar/candle formations will TELL you that there is a HIGH PROBABILITY of a move. Taking trades on the basis of a s/r level being met without any confirming PA is just a gamble.

Like I said, you may win this time but you'll increase your win % if you wait for appropriate PA. Just trying to help.

Ok, well I missed the point totally but at least I learnt something from it

S+p500 has broken below and both usd/jpy and eur/jpy are both dropping like stones but is that not more related to oil dropping in a similar fashion?

Or have i stumbled upon a correlation between oil and the s+p500? The mind boggles

The trouble is this is all knowledge after the event, presumably I will have to wait for these pairs to retrace to a s/r line to be able to trade them in the direction of a possible new trend?
EUR/JPY is a very highly related pair to stocks in general. For a good oil play, check CAD/JPY if you have that pair to trade. Japan imports all of it's oil, so this pair moves nicely with oil. So does the NOK. (Norway, think North Sea oil rigs.)

I think the Oil and S&P does relate to a point, but this is more of a "Oh shit! Things aren't as great as we thought" moment? Perhaps.....

p.s:glad your trade doing well now...
Thanks Nomask! Wow, trade took a real turn so far, but a long ways to go, we'll see from here........

I'll start practicing and using the extension. I'll let you know of any other questions. Your answers and help is much appreciated.

Hey CW: I've had issues determining targets, as far as where I expect a trade to go (now I am confident in my ability to manage trades, hiding stops behind minor levels), but if I open a trade is there a recommendation on how to figure out a "final" target? I'm guessing it would be based on chart patterns, fibs, etc....

Nomask: If you use fibs for this, (total newbie question here), and price hits 50% for example, what would be the typical target for that price (or level)?

Thanks!

I've got the cad/jpy/oil thing but it's still always after the event in that oil tends to move erratically and cad/jpy is always there straight after so unless your trading the news you still can't profit from it unless it's a valid long term move.

My head and heart are both telling me to wait until these things retrace near a s/r level or at least a downwards trendline and then wait for PA. You see? Your message is getting through!

There are 2 good ways that i know of to determine a target price. Trail your stops is good advice but first method is to draw channel lines. If there is a level that has rejected price in a channel on a few occasions then put your tp just above that level.

The next is fibonacci. I have my fibs set up with extension levels for 1.68, 1.5 and 1.32, similar to nomask. I am using fibs less and less these days but they can be useful to give you an idea of what levels other traders are targetting.

For me the trend on the hourly is down, and price hasn't really decided yet, risky long imho.

Blimey, I thought I'd had a few beers but you boys are OUTSIDE! Why are you even evaluating the hourly? I don't give a fig what happens intraday, if it ain't sticking out on a daily chart I'm not going to trade it and that is that. Good luck both of you
