there is a double top on USD/JPY so it looks like 1.1700/20 is the next target. Provided there are no new highs.

Dave, what are your thoughts on the EUR?

I am a big technical trader but I will look at this from a fundamental perspective. The EUR took a hit because of the riots, now the riots are over, I think it will rebound, and that hit it took can be looked upon as 'a gap to fill.'

your right the eur could go up. But when I entered the trade it looked different so I am just following through.
Going long on a break up would be good just beware of false breaks.

The only thing to confirm my reasoning behind it filling the gap is a trend reversal on the daily backed by the hourly... It will take a few days to determine.

Hi dave, i've been watching your thread for a while, it seems you are improving each day, i am learning alot from it.

If you get a chance could you pls answer this small question about the
7/10 system you use.

with the 7 EMA is there any other parameters you use, i have options such as
for price there is option to be on close, open, low, high, median price, typical price, indicator, or volume, the default is on close,
or should i just use fx streetcharting and use there default settings?
I currently use vt trader for the charting.

Also if it should be one of those settings, is it the same setting for the 10 SMA

Thanks for your time on this forum.


Thanks

I dunno about the improving thing I havn't been doing well all month.

Vt isn't good for acurate ma's.

I use all kinds of methods such as double tops/bottoms, daily pivots, RSI24, and E-wave to name a few. The usd/jpy just defied the double top method. There was a lower high than the last yet it just shot up past it. And the eur/usd just spiked enough to nail some stops now its back where it was befor bed time. So the break up went nowhere either.

I belive I had the waves miss labled. Here is a revision of wave count on 4 hr chart.
Wave C, according to ew principle, can be 68% of the last wave 3. Wave B is at least 38-50% of A. So a rise above or near 1.1900/14 may be in order.

I am long eur/usd 1.1691
sl 1.1640

target: 1.1900 range.

trail stop as I go.

Hi Dave.
let me ask one thing, wave B has to be minimum (38%of A) what about the maximum, it seem to me that B>A.

I wish the price followed the rules exactly. But the price knows nothing about rules. It follows thses wave patterns blindly. As long as you can get the 3rd wave identified, you should be able to count the next few and possibly recognise a reversal.
This one wave 5 extends past wave 4 indacating down trend is in tact.
I was off on the wave count befor and paid a big stop for it. But I belive I got the basic wave pattern identified now.(I hope)
Wave C might not even extend 20% of 3. This trade I am currently in I will have to manage closly if it begins to move up because trend is down. Once it moves past 1.1700 and sustains it an hour or 2 I'll move s/l to -15.
Being in this trade makes me more awair of the market and to get in a short at the right spot can be rewarding.

Hello Bea,

I hope you are not only on the EUR/USD pair. I have been with other pairs. TOPs does not show me entry on EUR/USD.
Yesterday GBP was interesting. See picture. Today, I am another +50 on GBP with a close trailing stop.

Hi Bea,

You can get more info on TOPS from dsvti’s thread. I believe dsvti is the creator of TOPS.
It’s a very nice tool to support your own system.
I wouldn’t use it by itself, but it can nicely support Dave’s 7/10 on 1hr or 4hr chart if you use the latest version improved by iso.
It didn’t give any signal for EUR/USD yesterday as highway3000 said; however I shorted it anyways based on a price action of
that pair, covered today after bounce off 1.1640/50.
I havent posted my shorts here, so I wouldn’t make you second guess your own long trade.
