If gold does not break below last lows, I'm considering a bounce long on EU 1.4145. See spikes, visible on H4 too. Small stop, max. 30 pips

Although I don't look at Gold, I have a quite similar idea as you. I've marked this S/R too.

I found that this pair USD/CAD did not respond to S/R, fib, as good as others. Any comment?

Even in choppy/ranging markets you will still sometimes see a large move take off from a S/R level that seemed to have been made irrelevant long ago. That's where watching price action and staying very attentive comes in handy.

I have observed using hourly close breakout to trade according to this:

However, the reliability is not that high. After a last failure observed:

Actually, when you have all S/Rs ready, you can quite easy in evaluating the efficience of this method yourself.

KK,

Just an observation that you may want to consider, notice that on the 0800 bar on your chart the level was faded for a retrace of about 40pts. This would have been enough to keep me out on the second test especially considering it came roaring back within 2 hours, suggesting that another fade was not a high probability setup. BRV discusses this in his .pdf

Hope it helps.

Ultimately I think EUR is bullish and is looking higher and will likely break higher, however there is potential for 2 TLs and a major high to line up which is an area to be aware of...

Dingo,

Great observation! You've just reminded me about the content of the pdf. In fact, everything about the died away this 1.6400 is quite expected by the BRV pdf - the so many prior crossings of the S/R and also your point (the prior near-S/R fade). Great!

cheers.

Ditto: that level worked like a clockwork on the first visit, giving a healthy reaction of 40 pips. After that one should look for a decent amount of time/space in order for a second hit to be a high probability setup.

Since the second hit came just about 2 hours later, a breakout was more likely than not.

Nice comment, but not quite exactly. The 0800 bar did not touch the original S/R zone, but the bar is close to there. The following comment by great BRV exactly describes this:

If price has already undergone a significant retracement not too far away (20 or less pips appx.) from the level we want to trade. For instance, EUR/USD is in an uptrend. You mark a level at 1.5715. It hits 1.5700 and then retraces down to 1.5670, and then starts coming up again, taking out 1.5700. Your chances of price then making another retracement from 1.5715 have now declined. Look for good spacing between pullbacks, usually anywhere from 40-60 pips on majors.

Well, I dare to disagee.

You should consider the following points (point 1 being the most critical)

1) S/R are zones, not exact number. So when price reacts less the 20 pips off your marked level, you should treat this occurence as if the price had actually reacted AT the level. That is the rationale behind BRV's quoted rule.

2) BRV says also that
Quote
Oftentimes, from our 4hr chart, we will see a “range” of support and resistance, anywhere from 5 – 30 pips. In order to more precisely determine where to enter the trade (it is possible to enter trades with zero drawdown using this method) we will scroll down to a lower timeframe and look at the last few times price used this level.
http://www.nobrainertrades.com/2008/...ak-levels.html
In your chart you can clearly see that, in the very last few times, price reacted at a lower level than 6393.

3) regarless of point 2, i think the true BRV's no-brainer level is indeed lower than 6393, for looking at the big picture you have a reaction at 6381 on Jul09 06gmt and at 6383 on Jul01 05gmt. See attached chart for evidence.



Hope this helps

First, did you see I said "zone" in my last post? "anywhere from 5 – 30 pips" and I taken 7 pips.
Second, it is ok, for different people picked different numbers.

Not interested in winning an argument.

My main point here is that, when I see a reaction less the 20 pips off a level, I consider that as being a reaction at the actual level. In this case price reacted at 6387, 4 pips off your marked level. So I personally wouldn't say that the level was not hit (even if, as a matter of fact, price missed your level by 4 pips).

That's just me and my way of dealing with SR. It helps in my decision-making process.

Sorry if this isn't of any help for you.

GJ is approaching the 156.37 level again. Last time it hit this level it made a 400 pip move down, so should be good for another move. Volume has also been dropping off on this move up and is reflected in the MACD/Price divergence.
