I'm not suggesting that my analysis is better than any of yours but I think I've gone for the more obvious s/r levels at rounder numbers.

and I'm seeing on your S/R lines the 2005 - 2006 areas don't seem to be stopping on clear S/R lines across the whole chart which i was getting as well.... that's where i'm lost on giving proper S/R lines for PA for trading off against the whole chart ..

Thanks again Low for your help

Adrian
For the record, I use lines because putting rectangles on my charts kind confused me, but the lines need to be thought of as "zones". Sometimes as much as a few hundred pips wide. So our job is not to take trades off of the lines, but to look for price action around the area of the lines that give us a direction to trade, and to use that same PA to determine our stops and therefore our position size.

Then we wait.

Sometimes price will change direction at one of these zones without first giving a pin-bar or an outside bar, or some other kind of indication, these I just skip, and don't worry about, money not wagered can be money not lost. But when we do get some nice PA, in one of these zones, and , maybe even in confluence with other measurements, that's where the money is made. That's the holy grail. It's not a system, just the willingness to wait, the conviction to place the trade, and the acceptance of its outcome, win or loss.

I love how easy it is to say the things I haven't yet mastered, but there it is.

Hope this helps.

Hi Adrian,

Here are the areas I am looking for PA on this pair...
The next big zone to wait for PA will be between 1.10 round number and the 50% fib of the big weekly move up...

Wish you a great weekend,
Luso

First bit, I agree completely. Second bit, don't worry, I do it all the time! Mind you, a good understanding of what you are trying to do is an important step towards mastery...

That sounds like I should be able to quote someone really intelligent but I think I just came up with that myself!

A bit like "He who dies with the most toys is still dead". I just can't quite remember who said that but I know it was somebody great!

Your first box:

I have my ppz at 1.08; 1.18 and 1.22... I also look for PA around the big round round numbers like 1.10; 115 and 1.20..

So imagine we see a short PB touching 1.22 and closing below 1.20... Then I would enter short and would be looking to close the trade or move stop to BE around 1.18, that should be the next trouble area based on my analysis...

your second box:

I have my ppz at 1.03... I also look for the big round number 1.0000... And yes, there is a ppz around 0.98, that is the bottom of your box...

Imagine the price comes down to 1.0000 and forms a BUOB closing above it, I would go long and looking at the 1.03 area as a possible resistence...

At such big zones, i draw the lines at the extremes of the ranges because there is room for a big move is PA is shown at the extreme levels...

You second box has a 500 pip range. So, if you see PA around 1.03 to go short, why don't you take the trade and be aware of the round number and then the bottom at 0,98?!? These are tradable boxes because of the big range...
Hope this helps...

CW, Hola amigo, que tal?

I notice on your usdcad chart you didn't draw the 1.18 level. This has acted as quite significant s/r in the past and you also mentioned in a post a while ago when it started retracing from it's recent low that you would "love to see a pin bar from the 1.18 level". Sorry I have such a sharp memory causing you a pain in the ass!

I have that level on my chart, should it stay or should it go?

Ole!

That's some serious consolidation on the xxx/usd pairs at the moment. You'd think when this breaks out it's going to go wild.

These are the obvious levels you can trade from. The additional minor levels I am drawing with another color and observe price at these levels and hide stops behind such levels but do rarely trade off them.
