Only on pg.44 of the thread so still working through it so bear with me guys.

Looks like cable just hit the bottom of its ascending channel after breaking out from the diamond. Now would it make sense to buy at the lower border with a stop and reverse? To me it does simply because of all the basing to the left chart and my personal view is cable should continue moving up. But the diamond to the left is a bearish signal, so do we stand aside?

The breakout looked like it should have been up for GBP bc from my understanding of the main diagonal concept, the main diagonal was down. I have a downtrend TL from 4.27.10 and 4.30.10 that had two failed breakouts this week. If it makes it to 1.4681, it would be the 5th approach to the TL and I'd think that this would be a very real breakout to the topside targeting the next downtrend TL (yellow on my chart). So simply from a risk:reward perspective taking the trade off the lower channel with a tight stop and targeting the yellow TL provides a pretty good R:R. Stop and reverse also has a good chance of playing out because of the bearish diamond. Right track?

Thanks very much gabs. In the end PA didn't turn out as expected.

OK 4539, just broke so we're on the sell side of the ascending channel correct (plus bearish diamond)? Stop and Reverse would be recommended with stops above 4587?

Was this a Weekly UJ Diamond that broke out to the top side? This may have been posted later on in the thread (if indeed a diamond), I'm still only on pg.45 of the thread. Also looks like 18.4 to me.

Hi FXChi,

Looks like a diamond to me, unless someone can tell us otherwise. However, I would expect price on the breakout to usually reach a target equivalent to height of the diamond, ie, bottom of the diamond to the top. Price looks like it failed to reach the expected target after breakout, and is now forming a triangle by the looks of things. Anyway, you still got another 335+ pages to read

Thanks bud. Spent the weekend reviewing Igrok's book a 2nd time, and still working through the thread. Think I'll hold off posting anymore questions/set-ups as most likely its been posted already. Anyways looking forward to learning some more A+ set-ups from the continued posters in here and in case anyone wants it, I have the July '07 Currency Trader Magazine w/ Igrok's article. Not sure if I can attach it here, but shoot me a PM if anyone wants to check it out.

FxChi, first of all welcome to our little family. I will try and sort you out with the picture of diamond that you posted. You are right about every issue already discussed here but anyway. If you look at the right side of your diamond you will see that the inside move sequence is messed up, meaning it is not right. To be correct it has to bounce between borders in sequence like: up, down, up, down, up or vice versa. Take another look and tell me if you see what exactly I have in mind
