This is a pretty subjective topic but ill try and break it down a bit.
Thanks Craig, you have explained very well this difficult pair.

Hi CrudeCraig and seniors,

I traded the beast from below the shooting star of Thursday down to 132.6 - support on my chart.
Hi Rajesh,
I didn't traded the Thursday shooting star as next day was NFP, but you did a good job.

So I have read and reread this forum. When you ask the question here it is very provacative to me. I see this as probably a place to clear some trades. I do see reversal candles at support, but really no price action from the levels YET. Also since most of the pairs you mention are underneath the MA's the only thing I can think of would be this is a place that you may clear some trades.

Hope those longs treated u well...I remained short...and added on bounces...not sure if I am in a better position or not!

Good first analysis Gibson!

The first thing i would point out is that you seem to have a few too many S/R levels. Zoom out a bit and concentrate on the major levels at first. Refer to blackeagles posts on S/R placement if you have any Q's.

The next is that GBP/JPY (AKA The Beast) is well known for huge bars like this and can make the pair difficult to trade. When first starting out, trading from R to first S and S to first R a 1/1 RR is not that bad IMO so not a real big deal there but the psychology of a huge bar SL like this one can be tough....
Thank you for your reply Craig. I will re-read Blackeagle's S/R post and work on my S/R levels.
Also if at least 1/1 RR cannot be achieved when trading from R to S or S to R, are these the type of trades that we should not take at all, or just when we gain more experience with PA.

I would not take them at all. After you have been trading as Strat teaches here for a while your trading will likely evolve into something that works for you. Whatever that "style" is we don't know yet but you will know when you find it, for now though the basics must be learned so that can happen.

Fellow traders,

Is this an example of buyers and sellers, bulls and bears being in equilibrium or agreement, about price, as Strat often describes?

If so can we anticipate a strong move after a breakout of the triangle?

Note the blue dashed lines show the extremes of the controlling Big Boss bar.

Opinions of the senior members particularly welcome.

Hey Roger,

Yes, todays price bar is a doji showing some indecision. Not surprising either, look at the candle extremes, the high is right at R and the low is at S.

Im not sure what the move will be like but i think how it breaks out of this coil will give us a good idea of how to trade it in the coming weeks. from the looks of the boss and big boss charts we look to be building a base here but it's too early to tell for sure.

You make good note of the big boss controlling bar BUT we have yet to break the Worker controlling bar, this is the one we need to be watching until it's taken out.



BTW Your middle TL is old news.

Hi CrudeCraig,

Should we be looking at CHF at all with all the news of SNB's massive intervention?

http://ftalphaville.ft.com/blog/2010...on-in-context/

Not that I understand much of it, just wondering if all this central bank activity ruins any attempt to interpret the charts.

Cheers!

I am watching and will be long above resistance at 125 with PA. All TFs are aligned.

Hi Simpleman,

Worker seems to have made a HL and if breaks above 1.25 a HH but both Boss and Big Boss seem to be on the way down from 1.30 level.

Could you share your thoughts on this?

As long as some of the other Swiss pairs don't start looking like this chart i will keep trading them regardless of what the reporters are saying.

It is pretty interesting though if you look at EUR/CHF chart around April 2009 and compare it to where that chart says they started intervening it all lines up pretty well. I think all the intervention is probably going toward eurchf as its a big exporter to Europe.

Hi, started trading 3 months ago, demoing profitably and hopefully live next month.

looking at the gbp/usd. Overall DT on weekly ( bearish pin bar on weekly). Weekly yet to close above support.

On the daily, looks like a head and shoulders forming? Thinking of sell stop for 1.4540 or 1.4490 (I think 1.45 is key)

(Wider horizontal blue rectangels are fib confluences form narrower blue rectangles - from daily)

What you think?
Thanks
