Tried to short this last night and got stopped out this morning.
Just don't discard the pattern, it is still a valid one.

hi thelastcoke,

typically you would short at the top of the pattern or wait for the breakout??

With my luck it'll happen shortly after London opens, when I'm asleep.

I may set limit orders.

Yeah, you drew the channel and I did. It was too pretty not to even though me and that pair do not get along too well.

Its time to share in this great thread.

Something to watch for early next week. Fair bit of confluence at the circle. If it breaks out of these wedges then watch for a pivot happening in line with the point of confluence.

Depends on the TF, On daily and UP I like to enter on the way out of the retest, on smaller TF's I even enter at top, in this particular case where there are a lot of confluence (channel, TL, Fib) I entered at UTL. Every case is different but the safer more conservative way is definitely at breakout.

Already shorted it at UTL, I'm looking for 23% retracement only.

thanks for the insight, I'll keep a note of that

Goldman just announced to their clients that they're bearish USD, time to buy Also, Credit Suisse clients are heavily bearish USD. Always a great contrarian indicator when banks tip their hand as clients always get fleeced. Chart is of $index futures.

Just a few trade ideas + a few continuations of trades posted earlier. I'll be better about posting next week when my move across the Atlantic is complete. Until then, just the longer term ideas, because that's what I'm trading.

To my eye this looks like a perfect bullish butterfly. A-B 78.6 of X-A. X-D is 127.2 of X-A. A-D is 161.8 of A-B (which coincides with the 127.2 of X-A). I'm taking it!

Still holding? I was shaken out, couldn't stand the 60 pips drawdown. I would have taken profits at this level.

Just got out @ the open today. I don't like the technical resistance coming up. I'm looking for a reversal. The euro has got to crash sometime soon... speaking from a strictly fundamental perspective.
