I've still got the 1.8050 area as a target on my longs.
That has proven to be a very strong daily channel but no channel holds for ever!!!!

Those 3 tests got me thinking.

What do you guys see? Bounce or break?

Planning to enter short, waiting to see if this is a real break. What do you think?
I got short here:

I think this is going to be it. I'm targeting the 118 area. 118.50 to be safe.

I also think that if cable breaks the recent bottom we'll see about 650-675 pips downside. I'm out of here for a bit guys!

Gents,

Hope you are doing well.

First of all Many thanks for your precious advices and charts. I want your avice regarding a trading style. My experience in FOREX is less than 3months, and is it better to focus on single pair as I am doing now (EUR/JPY), or multi pairs?.


Thank you.

Dude it goes either way. I do best trading many pairs. Right now I trade about 20, but there is another train of thought which is find a currency pair, learn it, and how it reacts to certain things (terndlines, indicators, etc.). For example GBP pairs tend to exceed trendlines and such without being actual sustained breaks, so I give it a bit of leeway when interpreting charts. It's like you can't slow it down on time sometimes. That said, if you're trading simple channels and trendlines and such I think so long as you're trading well defined setups and not drawing the setup that you want to see on a chart, I think that multi-pair trading offers you more opportunities. If you want to just trade one pair at a time, then take the best setup you see. Or take a few uncorrelated ones until you're more experienced.

That said, if you're trading a system, one where you use indicators, I find that they work better on specific pairs than others.

Very very valuable.

I deeply feel that I am not yet there to handle more than 1 pair, it requires lots of practice, skills and self control.

I will keep on learning my Bro & Pro

Thank you

I went ahead and took profits @ 1.7000. I can always buy a breakout.

Okay. When I look at my weekly chart going back many years, it seems like 1.55 has been the huge support. Should I be looking at more recent times then?

This is a gigantic RRR trade. Crab + Channel. It is a perfect Crab where B, C, and D met the parameters.

No that's a great call. I honestly didn't see it.

I'll take the retest of the yellow TL to be on a safer side but white one looks good also, aiming the resistance at horizontal orange TL.
