Yeah We have nice ones on the CAD crosses but I'm not brave enough to take them,
30 mins after the News and on a Friday heading towards a Holiday weekend
You mean you're smart enough to not take them

That is not about being brave or not, you just made a logical and sensible decision as a smart trader like you would do.http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Like everyone, when I see a possible setup I go through a checklist of items to validate the quality of the trade. One thing I like to know is "how have bars that look like this one done in the past?" For example, you might find that BEOBs that look like the current BEOB have historically done really well. Or you might find that pin bars that look like the current pin bar usually need to be much bigger to do well.

To help speed up that investigation process I created a script to flag all historical setups on a chart. You drag it on the chart,...

Cool jdl. Thanks.

Well, a more aggressive trader might be comfortable with taking them which is totally fine, but it doesn't fit with my trading style

Nice chart, xmz. The E-G is wedging nicely on the Daily as it did on the 4 Hour. A break out to the upside may find Resistance at the .8400.

At current levels, the .8350ish confluence may provide some nice Bearish PA to continue its wedge formation.
Thanx Jarroo, E-G took one attempt yesterday which was rejected via a 4H-PB, price pulled back and found support at the RNB 8300, today another attempt. I think we are going to see a breakout soon as price has been making higher highs and higher lows in a steep fashion towards the down TL.

May the force be with you.

The worst would be to take this pin and quickly exit at FTA
Yeah it would be difficult to be satisfied with that win

Hey Jarroo, here is another break which I was observing. The E-Y also has been coiling up and broke out after the NFP. On the lower TF, the down TL seems to be holding as support now. I'll wait for the 1H-bar to finish for confirmation, I hope to see a bullish rejection bar.

May the force be with you.

富士山 actually.

I have been here too long.


I prefer the view of the city at night and the fireworks at the weekends.

I get to see no less than 30 fireworks displays from my veranda in the summer.

Non tonight though. I will just have to settle for the beer.
Beautiful pictures, thank you !

I'm still having internet problems, so bare with me . . (%#!*^%$)!!

Do you mean " . .holding as Resistance . ."

Trendlines can be a great confluencing tool. Meaning, if they do not line up with PPZ levels, BRNs or Sup/Res levels they mean nothing to me.

This trendline lines up nicely with proven Support which turned into proven Resistance on the higher time frames as well.


. .look at it now . . no surprise there . . .Price reacting to this Resistance level. Just need some quality PA for confrimation to take the trade, like the 4 Hour BEOB earlier this week.

I love them charts too, Rac. Its good to see them every now and again.

.
Fine, you asked for them..

I was in both these trades plus gbp/chf since 11PM last night.

Yes before NFP. After doing some DD, I decided that probability of them to go up is much grater than to go down (never mind the reason).
I exited from all my positions once resistance was hit and posted these charts to the group. They're self explanatory ...

Cheers....

I agree completely, the dotted blue line on my chart is a higher TF-PPZ. Holy crap did you just notice the high momentum bearish bar on the 1H. I think we just see a false breakout on the 4H-TF.

I wrote a second script to remove all the flags created by the first script. See the attached text file for instructions. I hope this gives you one more tool is assessing setups.
Thanks to you I will play around with this ....appreciate your sharing!

If your charts don't prove the important fact that Support turns into Resistance (and vice versa) as a key factor in one's trading (regardless of news) I don't know what will . . . throw in some additional confluences . . . and some good PA . . . and get out of the way.


Thanks Rac.

Is just that you said, "the down TL seems to be holding as resistance now".

If you would have said, "the down TL and the dotted blue line of previous support seems to be holding as resistance now", it would have made more sense to me.

Do you agree?

The yen pairs are getting very wound up, some of them on Big Round Numbers.

Notebly CAD/JPY, there is an I4B/BRN combo on the daily

NFP could be explosive

Have a good weekend everyone

Triggered my buy stop but at a level 30pips away from my set price (which means dilution in profit).
IBFX regularly sends reminder about how volatile price movement can be during NFP days but this is the first time I was entered at a price so far away in a pending order.
Speaking of explosive.......what a blast it was.
