0.7466 on NZDUSD looks interesting.

Hello belekas,

Is it possible that EURJPY is trying to develop a diamond on the 15min timeframe?

Thanks.

No. Might be on USDCAD 15m though.

Really nice entry, and huge return. I see a couple of short entries around there. Wonder, which way did you choose?

it was the break of the daily trendline after the 3rd touch of the 1.30 line, oil was heading up as well and I figured Oil had to at the 20 dollar mark for it to to target 1.35 which alot of the wealth management funds at the time were saying to target.. and just based on the yearly range, I didn't see it goto 1.40.. worked out well on a high equity non leveraged postion. I did alot of scalps up and down as well during run down, to me this was one of the easiest trades i've seen to play out technically.

Just a question.
I have read the Igor's book and did enjoy it a lot. I must say that I do struggle with actual entry while trading away from the trendline. I tend to set it 20-30 pips from breaking point but find that the price hits my stop entry and then hit my stop loss 20-30 pips on the other side of the trendline just to come back again to hit second stop loss.
by the time it happens im 60 pips down and some confidence.
It very difficult to get it right.
Is there a simpler way to enter?
Thanks for all help and apology for such a question.
Regards

Yes. Thats one of the early entries i was talking about. Im interested in how did you calculated your TP, based on what, as i presume you got out at 1.03 as well?

A nicely filled wedge on USD/DKK dayly chart. Might be interesting to those trading this pair and helpful as a USD indicator. IMHO.

Interesting picture on the monthly USDCAD. I have cut this huge broadening triangle into two equal parts and put a horizontal line to seperate them. To my little surpise this was exactly the top for 2008-2009 Maybe it will turn into a huge diamond sometime in the future?

are u sure this is Alpari UK data feed?
my alpari UK only has up to March1988.
u must be using a different server file within that Alpari UK of yours..

anyway, looking closely at your chart, extreme left, u seem to have not bisected the triangle equally.
the mid-point would come in around 1.3260-ish, if bisected correctly.

anyway, excited to see if that huge diamond will form in the future

First, take a look at the lower part of the screenshot, to see the logo. Second, the way i measure, gives exactly 1.3 beying the middle line.

from time to time, i try not to look at the logo 'at face value'. since some here use server files of other brokers within a particular MT4.
for example, Alpari UK MT4 but using data feed of FXDD.
anyway, i think u are not familiar with this, hence u might not be using them (server files), so i'll check again my Alpari UK &/or try to download it from a different source for comparison.
