I've been taking a look at this CI indicator this weekend and I'm really liking it compared to my usual RSI....
Glad you like it!

Good question. If the BB is close to flat or if price is hitting a 'level' (in the chart posted by you 1.2934 was the daily high 22 July) then I would enter at that peak/level, if not then better safe than sorry and wait for price action to confirm the reversal.

In the example posted I had forgotten about the 22 July high and the 5min doji that conformed with the trendline formed by the two previous highs was good enough confirmation. But as a rule I wouldn't wait for 5min bars to close.

I hope that answers the question.

As I'm heading to sea for a few days, I will not be posting this week, except for these two daily charts......

We can easily see that € is the weaker and last weeks action made a large bearish engulfing candle - a big marubozo - with the first support at 1,2729 - just below Fridays close.


Cable also had a -smaller - weekly bearish engulfing candle, but has support at 1.5521 / 5471, well before it reaches into the normal fib decison zone. Its lower APF line is also there.


I wish you all a profitable week.....

Have a wonderful cruise, Islander. You will be missed this week.

Here's a couple of charts on the Aussie. It completed a head and shoulder pattern Friday, and more downside seems to be on the cards.

The key area 8850-70 is nearby and could provide some easy pips on the way down there.

At the same time CI is oversold, in reverse divergence territory, and close to support on the daily chart which, in line with the SPX (with which AUD is strongly correlated) analysis, points towards a bounce from mentioned level.

Should 8850 break, mayhem may ensue. When Aussie falls it's usually a sharp fall. See, for example the May drop.

CI is extremely oversold on the daily - it hasn't been lower since October 08 - so the support level mentioned by Islander or the 50% level of the 1.2151-3334 range at 1.2143 could provide the basis for a retracement early in the week.

GM - interesting action overnight that supports the hypothesis of a bounce. All three pairs at resistance now, however, and Aussie below last week's low. It seems like cable could have the largest upside potential.

SPX resting above last week's low after a dip below.

Interesting morning ahead...

Then great action round the monthly pivot!

LOL I thought I should keep up the skipper's tradition of posting 1min charts. I even traded off of them today!

Here are my trades today so far.

Missed tha cable fall, which came as a surprise. Now down below long-term trend-line but still above last week's lows.

For the I don't knwo which time in recent weeks Euro ends the upmove with a triple top along an upper trend-line with divergence using any of your momentum measures. As the skipper would say, it would be rude not to short it!

Hi Medici and all just thought I would post my trades for the day.
I got out to early on the 1st no idea why as hour was just about to close as a bear bar.
And the 2nd trade I point out I didn't do just showing as it was a nice LH with traped longs in the market that should add strenght to the short.

Cheers

The 1min trading was an experiment that I will not continue with.

The way to trade is from divergence to divergence on the 5min using lines, levels, and bands for confirmation. See attached charts.

The 1min is good for getting in on a trend that's already in motion, but for me that's it.

I have been trying to stay indicator free but this looks too good!
How come you will not continue with the 1min?
exit to early?
