HI all, I was wondering if I could get some advise and other markets/charts to watch and practise J16 methods. I don't really have any experience outside Forex. Any help is appreciated. I think this will help being ultra picky on daily and weekly set up's. Cheers

Hey dj

Check out basically anything you want! It is very universal. Commodities futures equities

Grab a demo feed like Fxpro and they have a bunch more markets to get you more comfortable looking outside forex for paper trading

This is the 2nd BEOB on gold almost at the same spot in the last few days.

Characterstics of both the BEOB's are almost same.. in fact, the first one is bigger size than today's BEOB.

Pros:
1. At swing high (though not absolute)
2. Broke through 1250

Cons:
3. Size is ok but not big enough to change the directions
4. BEOB is at consolidation
5. Going into Daily PPZ 1223
6. Huge uptrend

Not tradable PA. But Below thumb rule can be seen on both BEOB's. Well said Jarroo.

Its a good rule of thumb on Outside Bars. Which is that they will retrace to their prievious bar High/Low.

Look at the Monthly Nzd/JPY.

Price is in a consolidation yet the BUOB and BEOB retrace back to their previous bar High or Low.

I am of the firm opinion that BEOBs like this are a trap. Alot of people will see the signal and jump, but your reasoning is dead on. No matter how you draw it:

..that doesnt look like somewhere I want to go short.

Taking these bars in a consolidating (or, more accurately, a range bound) market is almost always a bad idea, since you are usually either shorting into the bottom of a trading range or going long at the high.

I like the way you drew it. In fact, I didn't see the consolidation to the first BEOB. Consolidation for 2nd BEOB is obvious.
Through your picture NOW I can see the consolidation for the 1st BEOB also.
Thank you !!

Ok guys. I'll update all the future posts summaries here in future so everyone can reference them easier.

Erm, big man James16, if you could do me a favour and stick this
somewhere along the lines here where Nasir referenced them, it'd allow me to go back and update it so I don't have to trouble Nasir or SupremeChaos.

I'll reedit this post once it's at the right place.
Thanks to Nasir and SC thus far for referencing them. I couldn't find where my old posts were.

I've checked the links and they work.

(and I've been told to not distribute the software so, no more PMs ok?)

The trend is up! And lotsa traffic southward too. =)

That would be an easier way to say it

I think it goes back to what we were talking about in the pf. A range is showing us accumulation/distribution (or, if you prefer, basing/topping*) and so by taking this bar, you are shorting straight into buyers who are just waiting to absorb the orders (ie, what we call a PPZ).

Without further information, we dont know if it is

  1. new sellers coming into the market, possibly starting a new trend
  2. fundamental buyers taking profits (or at least reducing exposure) as price has been pushed too far by trend/momentum/spec traders
  3. buyers still buying, but generally losing interest as price nears a 'fair value' zone where they are willing to accumulate slowly but dont want to drive price up (a classic 'accumulation phase')

(also: some combination thereof)

We could look at lower timeframes, which might help.

Or if we have the ability, we could watch order flow and try and determine the nature of the movements (ie, is the bid getting smashed on the way down? Or is it just drifting as liquidity dries up?).

Or we can look at fundamental factors to determine whether mood has changed, whether consensus value is being approached, whether everyone is away skiing, etc.

Or, in the end, we can just take a backseat and wait for a clearer sign.

I was asked about an update on my Nzd/Jpy. Closed my 2nd half at 62.85, on 6-25.

I know the previous bar High stop loss placement (purple lines) would still have me in this one but the PPZ level at the 62.70ish level just made sense, even if it goes to 50.

That's usually how it goes, right when I get out. lol

Now let's see if Support will now act as Resistance or stay as Support.

Ghous,

Did you play this as a breakout trade? It looks to me as if you entered on the retrace. Or did you use the inside bar to line up your entry?

Thanks,
John

Hey Ghous . . . you gotta like this IPB (G-Bar) on the Weekly Nzd/Usd.
Wedge breakout / pullback with PA (I consider it PA) and there's bit of PPZ at the .7150. IPB on many feeds.

Should be fun to watch.


Target hit, in my book.


Thanks Mike and ghous.

Do we have a Mike type breakout setting up on USD/CAD?
H4 BUEOB off of the 365 EMA, Consolidation, 50 fibo, TL & 1.040 RN.
This is inside a weekly BUEOB at a swing low.

Hey Pin

I would like a more defined pattern. I am always looking for obvious wedges, horizontal, flags etc. In my experience when you have all those multiple bar highs or lows in a row they are better for a pure breakout type play. Catch the initial "burst".

Considering the RN I can see why that is and it will allow us to use a smaller SL and get to BE much faster.

Thanks Mike, appreciated.

If you want something fun an easy to do. Go back through your charts(start longer timeframe cause they are more significant and easier to do IMO). Look for times you get Multiple bar highs or lows, either in a row, or spread out. Then when price finally makes its way through it breaks hard and fast.

Here are just a few(note when I do these I want pretty perfect highs/lows). This is a good idea for a video
