I hate trading EURCHF as it moves so damn slow. Although, I like its technical picture of descending 4hr trendline with triple bullish divergence.

What other clues to favour this buy does your chart shows?

Not much except that both highs on each side of the top at 94.05 were at the exact same price of 93.28 so if symetry works then 89.05 also by symetry could be interesting. Hey thanks for your reply and I wish you had a great birthday party.

Gmornin Belekas, I woke up just on the spike to 6250, sold initially at the 50 level and again on a retest for a small 20 pips, but I didnt want to hold on to it with all the news events comin up. Catching that spike down at 430 with the news woulda been nice but with the widening spread and the speed of the spike made it impossible to get into, how did you fare?

If you exclude timing, gbp offered an perfect 18.4 earlier today.

I don't care about the news. My advice you start doing the same. Check my journal for this particular scenario and how it should have been traded.

yep awesome with tight SL , congrats.. I have a hard time catching the intraday moves with the templates, in hindsight obviously I recognize it, and rely on the price action. Will have to work on it to get it more engrained in spotting it..

Euro and Swissey were perfectly tradable during Asia session as well. Both with stops less then 20 pips including spread.

Thanks belekas, appreciate it will take a look at them both and see how well I could have implemented it. Been trading combs and channels very effectively thus templates took a backburner, but will get back to it since it would obviously give me more confidence in letting trades run and give better R:R.

megamo,

I'm exactly where you are. Combs and channels.

The intraday templates have take a backseat for me also.

I still struggle to identify the templates before they actually play out.

Anybody else ever seen a diamond on the 5M chart? It is for sure a 1st for me, but here it is.

Can you believed I played my shorts perfectly before I knew what it was? Green pips everyone

Any comments anyone?

Hi aediaz, would really appreciate if you could explain your statement. On my chart GU formed a declining channel towards the end of the asian session? Or was that wishful thinking on my part.

More on the EURCAD and USDCHF charts, could you kindly explain the reasons why they would not qualify the 18.1 template?

Many thanks again for your inputs.

Back in the day during NFP release we had a perfect 1-5m diamond on the GBP as well that played out nicely for more then 200 pips profit. Go figure:nerd:
