this is just a what if, because it might not ever work out this way. but... Tom DeMark's theory of price projections states that when a triangle breaks, there is a high probability that price will move the length of the triangle base in the direction of the triangle break (unless it doesn't!) which in this case would put price at 1.5728 if it follows through, and that happens to line up exactly with a 161.8% fib extension.

Also one might conceivably interpret the preceding price action as a mutated inverse head and shoulders, which would...

Sure I'm going to regret this, but closed my long. seems this 1.54 is tough to move up from.
I think you've done a good job there. It's logical to get out of the position at this price if you are trading intrading. Let's wait for it to retrace hopefully to 5250 area..

I would suggest do not trade the retracement because retracement can suddenly turn back to its major trend anytime. While waiting, you could check other pairs for possible good setup

Regards.

I'm also following EG at the moment. Have bought in at .8687 and now looking to buy in again if it goes to .8662 (but I am not expecting it to get there today)

I would suggest to not trade EG at the moment, as I mentioned in this thread before, EG is in a weekly wedge. Personally, I don't prefer a tightening range.. maybe it's only me...

Take your point, but don't tightening wedges tend to point towards breakouts. As EG dropped by 200 pips over past few weeks I tend to concur with Action Forex that consolidation might be nearing end and that there will be a break upwards.

I agreed with your point, as I see it, it is nearing an end. The safest way to trade is to wait for the breakout then decides which price to take (perhaps the pullback from the breakout?).

I can't help to say this but please don't take this seriously. Normally a wedge at the upper level have the tendency to break to the down side rather than the upside.. However, to be safe.. better to wait for clear breakout first then take a position at the pullback.. so that you can sleep in peace, unless of course if you are daytrading it, then trading any direction would not be a problem..

Currently I have 3 long pos for EUR, namely (ECad, EJ & EU) all of them are in negative. My azz is covered by other 3 pos (GCad, UCad and GJ) so currently EUR doesn't seems that strong..

yeah I've been watching for the last three days as USD/CHF holds higher and higher and cable stays high as well. Usually when USD/CHF goes up, cable goes down. This has been some major divergence. something will give at some point... so far it's been USD/CHF as cable holds on via sentiment

Hi All!
I have been following this thread for a bit now an have recently join the website.
Do any of you scalp the intraday cable? would love to bounce some ideas about!
90pips today from 13 trades. I mainly use price action, fibo, and MACD div for my set ups
Also I use doubling of risk capital in 3 trades approach which i can send to anyone that requires a look-see.
Finally do most of you guys and gals trade off the MT4 charts direct or do you use a seperate broker platform. I am using FXCM Active trader currently.
Hope to make a few new buddies here and cash in a stack of pips to boot.
Trade what you see never what you think!
