We're through December's low. If we get through October's low we could be in for a ride.

Hi chaps,

Well its a potentially very good time coming up to buy and have a really good Risk Reward ratio, I would have liked to put a buy on around the 15700 level, being that there is a lot of support at that level and there is a strong likelyhood of a potential up move, if we look at our daily charts as pointed out that is the October low, normally I would be quite happy to jump in with a fairly tight stop at that level (or knowing me probably lose patience and jump in a little earlier) I am, however, going to excercise restraint mainly because of the figures coming out tomorrow from the US, if cable is pushed down sharply by these figures and breaks this key level of support, that may trigger the currency to begin its fall which has been forecast by some for a while now, and if we look at the weekly charts we can see quite clearly why.

The interaction with the 50% fib from the highs in July 08 to the lows in January 09 (2.0163H -1.3477 L) looking at that chart shows cable to be bearish, of course most day traders are not overly concerned about weekly TFs (myself included)
However I believe it is important to bare it in mind at key levels such as the one we are currently approaching.

The great thing about them is as I said you can go in on a buy say at 15700 and put a 40 - 50 pip stop on and potentialy grab a lot of pips for your trouble, she could bounce all the way back up to the high 160's before coming down again, I personally think that is not a bad trade to be in on!

Best of luck!

Good position.

I played bottom feeder and grabbed pips up off this first
bounce after the ridiculous drop (on all the yen pairs).

Hi All

After blowing quite a few accounts using all the indicators possible... as you do when you start trading, I needed to change then I came across this thread.
Just plain simply, trading off round numbers, 50`s, channels, trend lines, congestion areas and lastly reading the candles... its great.
It has helped my account to grow by 11% since January.
I would like to thank all you guys and will be posting more... since this is the way forward

Dr. D,

I was able to get in when it spiked up a couple days ago and went to my 76.4 retracement on the 4H fibs. It worked out perfectly as now we are down to the last major point of support, the 100 fib for the quarterly fibs. If it breaks here, we go downtown. I closed out my positions in anticipation of a little bounce, may not be a very big one though.

Remember the 34 MA I told you I use, the spike up to the said fib was right where the 34 was at when the move down started. 34MA is now at the 100 fib for the 4H chart, so may see hesitation. Just a thought..

Ctic,
Keep throwing in your charts to illustrate these points.

I prefer to adhere to this rule... "no chart - no post".

Then we all are educated.

Here's a 4h on the EJ... and a 34sma. From where are the HL's
drawn and which TF's that give you those fibs at 76.4 fib and 100?

Sorry for getting away from the GU.

Thanks,

Dr. D.

Dr. D,

Sorry for the no chart. Being tax season I have been in my tax office more than I like, with limited access to charts since I am not at my trading office. Here is the chart I did post on a different forum, but being so busy this time of year I have been taking short cuts. I took the 34MA and other MA's off the chart to highlight the fib lines and the flag.

OK! It was a daily chart.

Thanks,


I see my daily compression chart is still 'salvageable'.
The 144EMA still is holding 5 of the higher MA's tight within 8 pips.

broken trendlines or a double bottom?

She's broken the trendlines but hasn't yet broken my heart.

It's obvious I'd like to see the GU move back up above
this area of compression to pull all the EMA's into a tighter
pattern for the BIG ONE! Maybe NFP will help put this view
of dollar strength (global safe haven) back into balance with
the rest of the crappy world economies.
