I like it a lot. Nothing is 100%, but I like your idea of scoring the trade. Did you recently come up with this or have you tried to score these trades ahead of time previously.

I'll look at it as I go through the charts, Thanks.

This is XLT stuff. wmd's method is very very similar. The checklist is just to get you thinking and training your brain to pick the best levels out of habit. Once you use it a few times it becomes automatic. It helps you judge your entry levels and how you approach them. Sometimes the best levels get hit very fast and take-off very fast so it helps to be prepared with a limit order. Other levels may have to be approached more carefully such as waiting for the breakout of the level and even a pull-back.

Ok, we've been hanging around different bars. What is XLT stuff, and if his method is similar I'd appreciate a point toward it.

If your score sheet were to be used on this daily chart (assuming 1.4345 as the breakout point) what would your score be----or should we wait and see how it approaches (if it approaches)

Gents, I am a newbie. I have only been studying forex since August of '09 so please be gentle. I have two questions for you all.

1. I am having trouble understanding what an "untested" support and resistance level is in this method. I understand the concept of s&r levels in general. Believe me, I do understand the concept.

Here is my understanding so far: If price is testing resistance then breaks through it, that resitance level is now untestest support? Vice versa in a bearish trend.

2. I was taught/mentored to apply my support and resistance levels after NY market close on Friday and prior to Sunday open on the daily chart. In this method is that wise or should I consider applying the support and resistance levels to T/F I am going to trade?

Gold star or, go sit in the corner and listen a while longer, Junior? On a serious note I appreciate the guidance mentorship you all have provided by simply sharing your ideas. BIG UPS to WMD for posting this thread. After 4 months of people throwing all kinds of indicators and fancy systems in my face this is a method I am confident I will learn thoroughly and apply to my trading style with accuracy. An old schooler told me that price action is where it's at. I am a believer now!

Healthy and wealthy trading, guys.

So to summarise this what we are looking for:

1. Resitance
2. Breakout
3. The failed parabola (or hook)
4. The price is moving away from our level

When we see this we have a resistance level that has not been tested as support.

This is our pattern.

All:

This us the EURUSD 30m TF live chart obviously.

Paper Trade: I would enter at 4960 with sl at 4940 and exit half the trade at 4980 and ride the rest to next resistance level moving stop to entry. What do you all think?

All of this, of course, without regard to a pin bar/morning star/hammer/doji forming as of yet except for the one at 0030 gmt hours.

Thanks,

Gravitas

... had to wait for pa to show it was going to hold.
What, exactly, do you look for when you say "wait for pa to show..."? BAr closes and candle patterns on a lower t/f? Or just if price slows down and hangs around the level? Would you please clarify that? Thank you.

You need to see the bigger picture. Go up a time frame and zoom out. You'll see the euro has been ranging and has reacted to the upper level so you would have been in the move down from where price acted at the supply level at the extreme highs of this range.

There certainly is a strong move out of 4345 so I would be contemplating a limit order there but I would have to see the bigger picture. I would need to know what time frame I was on, what part of the higher time frame trend cycle I was on i.e. are we near higher time frame supply or demand. It also depends on whether price creates new supply levels on its way back down to me eg I don't want to be entering into a new consolidation area above. If there is a consolidation above does that give me a good risk/reward if prices then decide to turn around there. Am I entering with the bigger picture trend or against it. Not sure what wmd thinks about this but its just a way for me think about how I will enter given the potential risk reward and strength of the level.

Look for the breakout level at the origin of the wave. This will be the strongest level. There may be sub levels within the wave but they wont always provide the same strength.

There was a vertical drop to that level so needed to see if buyers were going to hold the line. Price stalling and not being able to breach it again was best indication of that.

As a rule, never stand in the way of vertical descent unless you have a very good reason to do so.

We had untested s/r. A ltl. Price had busted through suppport cluster without reaction.
