H1 timeframe interpretation
doesnt your pennant triangle already show that price broke out twice already? sorry for the question, but im trying to learn how to draw/trade the pennant breakout and am just trying to clarify how exactly to draw them. they are hard for me to spot at the moment, and I definitely didnt see that one because i though it had to be drawn at the top of the wicks? again, sorry for the question and thanks for an excellent thread.

Perhaps it is more accurate to say the upper trend line just broke on H1 timeframe. Extending the upper red trendline touches about 7 H1 wicks indicating strong break out upward (which is just what happened moments ago) I would go long with a very tight stop. Unfortunately, I need to be away my desk for next 2 H1 candles to attend to a prior commitment.

H1 timeframe interpretation
Excellent.

Your price interpretation is very good.

Today if you could please adhere to your own interpretation and anticipation and take trades accordingly.

At the moment there is no movement in the market. Let us continue closer to UK session.

Just before everyone goes and they might be interested in my interpretation. Here is mine

But the most important price interpretation at the moment

http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/258/aa1h.png

1hr chart. It doesnt look good as the current price movement is closing over the resistance and the price is moving up (for the moment)

VEEFX is unavailable for the next 3 hours. Let us continue from 1-2 hours before the london opens as the market is currently not moving at all in this asian session.

Just before we all retire for few hours.

There are few things that everyone needs to know.

Price cannot stay around 200ema line for a long time (or any ema for that matter). It needs to break it or bounce from it but must move away from it. It is the nature of price contraction and expansion.

When price hovers around 200ema that is when price is balanced on even keel. Head wins and then tails and then heads again.

When price expands away from the 200ema is when you are experiencing price irregularity. 14+, 15+ streaks of wins on one side of the coin.

But, there is equal and opposite force. When there is expansion, there will be a contraction. This balances the upset. Then you will see price returning to the 200ema.

Some breakaways from 200emas last for weeks ending at gigantic few thousand pip reward. But we all know on average it is 400+ pips. This data takes every expansion/contractions on 200ema of last 10+ years across the whole board.

May I request you to think about this..?

There is an exploit here.

We will not know which break will be THE ONE. Therefore we must participate in each break to exploit the data you have provided. In the meantime, we wait...

graeme,
may the exploit be simply, we know price moves away, bt we also know it as to come back, can we play both sides of the coin toss???

Euro/nzd looks like it is heading for the upper area of interest!

I am back at my desk with a fresh pot of coffee :-

Just peeked at eurnzd... it broke trendline/pennant upwards and stalled towards the purple resistance line I drew in my interpretation. Unfortunately, no trade foe me as I was away. Currently, watching closely for a breakout further upwards or possibly an engulf (or an FB on M15) towards a larger down H1 candle testing 200ema again.

Hi Vee,

I kept looking for Graeme's post for a long time and just when I gave up for couple of days,He started posting..

I saw Graeme's offer late, I was cursing myself that I missed a golden opportunity.

Now I know its all for good. There is no way I could have done a better job than you.

Keep up the good work and thank you. Hope its not too much stress working on Pacific time

No problem Tradestar. I just got lucky to be at the right place at the right moment. This is absolutely going to be an equal opportunity learning event for everyone.

p.s. For those following eurnzd, I did my first short trade at the puruple resistance line based on FB formation on M5 . Let's see how my R:R works out.

VEEFX, you have just spent your first ammo.

Entry was great 3.5/5
Timing was average 2.5/5

It seems you jumped into 5min chart when you saw something you liked. Unfortunately that position has much more chance of loss than win at current stage. Why?

I personally dont see any hindsight on the higher timeframe to take a sell in 5min yet.

Thanks Graeme. Appreciate your feedback. My thought process at entry time to share with the readers. Perhaps, I placed a little more emphasis on resistance line during my entry

Good work, VEEFX

It is your trade and your the captain of your own ship.

For myself, I always wait confirmation first. If Im looking for sell then I want to see price close below the open of previous up candle.

Most of the times I arrive late as price will not retrace up to 50% or higher for a tight entry but I save alot of money by not losing as much as most traders.

Lets all watch how this plays out.

You have 3 ammo left on this particular pair and Im looking forward to see you manage your position or enter another trade.
