Not too bad a set-up but just be aware that it's a counter trend trade in which case you should be moving your SL to BE as quickly as possible. Look at the weekly for a clearer view of the trend.

CONFLUENCE::

I'd like to see some nice PA around the 1.05 area for a short. Some aggressive traders would even do a touch trade right there because there's a ton of resistance at that level. CAD Interest Rate decision coming up today, maybe we'd get some nice action..

He sure could. Probably use duct tape, a cucumber, and an ink pen to do it too!
Sounds like the way good old Angus would do it!

Yeah, the CAD is gaining strength into the rate decision. In my experience, it normally means they are going to sell the news. Of course, that's only a guess.....and not something to trade off of.

Still watching this pair at 1.03.....possible short term long.

Hi Chris

Cable has formed a potential pinbar yesterday and another quite clear one today (just a tiny bit of an upper shadow), and I was wondering if you'd consider this trade.

It is countertrend, which doesn't mean you won't take the trade. But by taking the trade at 1.5225 (20 pips from yesterday's high) with a stop at 1.4780 (445 pips), and at TP of 1.5700 (475 pips) the PR ratio is just above 1.

Would you consider taking the trade at 1.5010 (20 pips above today's smaller pinbar's high)? This way the PR (risk 230 TP 680) is just under 3:1.

Being countertrend and there being no particular convergence with Fibs, the trade is probably far from an A, and I know you just closed your short position so maybe you're not interested. But given the signals seem to be there, are there any reasons not go for it that I haven't considered?

E.g. Should we wait for a few days of consolidation in the S/R zone before we believe it can take off again...? Or could the steep downtrendline from the 19th jan be a problem?

If you are referring to the last two daily candles on cable then you're mistaken as they are not true pin bars.. Below is an example of a true pin bar, and as you can see the bar does not only have a long nose (indicating the "lie") but, also importantly, the open and close are within the prior bar (left eye).

Chris what's your take on the EURO? Fundamentally

Looks like Warren Buffet & George Soros shorted the Euro and are about to offload.

Only because of the weekly box that was broken a couple weeks ago, I am not interested in going long at all. In fact, I am hoping it bounces a few hundred more pips so I can sell it! The sharp downtrend is certainly begging for a corrective bounce though....

Just like the GBP, I am very, very bearish on this currency. I am not going to be buying the EUR against the USD. I am waiting for the bounce that will certainly be coming. I look at it like the Dollar is on sale, and I am buying.....

I am hoping to see a nice set up at either 1.40 or 1.45

Thanks for the post here.....I missed that one. (Part of the trouble with having two kids.....in the background, running and playing.)

Chris

PS - I would highly recommend buying the book "Pring on Price Patterns". I cannot stress this enough.

Hi Chris,

I see a potential box trade on Cad...big between the ears but still valid.

Do you still favor the upside.

I am going to place stops and see which one gets hit first...I'm still thinking short.

good hunting,

Thanks wh1zz0. I have actually read Pring and followed his webinars and youtube stuff, but hadn't fully understood the characteristics of the Pinbar. I was just looking at it being at the extreme of a rally or through and it's shadow being at least twice as big as the body, but I just re-read it and noticed the importance of the body being inside the previous bar as you say, and the long nose being a false breakout as well. So this helps. Nice one, cheers.

Thanks for the insight Chris. So I see that, had those two been valid pinbars, it still wouldn't be strictly part of the method to take the bounce (taking profits as soon as price hits target without trailing stops, it being countertrend). I guess there are "discretionary nuances" so to speak.

What would then be the ideal situation for you to actually take a countertrend bounce (with TP at next s/r area)?

Once again thanks for all the help

Hey guys dropping in, just wanna throw some thoughts up regarding AUDUSD...

past few days we've had our major economic announcements

yesterday raising rates 25bps and today GDP y/y better than expectations

Now if we are getting such great news and still not pushing higher, to me it seems hard for the AUD to rally much further, any bit of bad data will push it off immensely i feel, just looking at the structure of the chart and the brick wall its hitting atm, im short biased.

Agreed. I was noticing that as well. It is starting to look like about 6 weeks ago, when it couldn't get through 94 (I believe), and as such, I am short biased as well.
