Looks like a 3 tap is forming on the E/U. Just waiting for the 3rd candle to come in.

But then again, LG is the boss.. My chart looks slightly different, looks like 3 taps on mine too.. anyways, good setup either way. wait for trigger.
No, no..not the boss, just doesn't look like 3 Taps on mine, but I'll check again.

Yes, you are both right...I'm wrong..actually could have been drawn not one, but two different ways!

I see a weekly three tap, is it valid? then I went down to daily and saw a outside bar, confirming it is still going down.

I know three tap supposed to be entered immediately on the third tab?

what do you think?

Been following the thread the past few days, great discussion.

A situation like now, where there looks to be a good bearish setup on the EU. You see the RSI on 4H chart has little room to move downward, even though there is room on the D1 and H1 charts. How do you interpret this? Thanks.

Typically RSI indicators are used for overbought/oversold purposes, but we don't utilize them in that way here...only to determine PA movement. So don't worry about little room to move downward..besides the RSI can drag the bottom or the top for a very long time.

I am still in a short trade on this pair based on a weekly chart BO and 3 Tap combination.

Does not affect the setup at all.

You once said, you enter immediately after the third tap, didn't that bar tap the trend line sometimes? I am learning, thanks for the reply.

The entry would have been the third tap.. the big question with this set up is whether or not there are more pips left in the current daily candle (the one after the third tap). That candle is approximately now 6 hours into the new trading day..will it go down further in the next 18 hours? The weekly and monthly RSIs indicate a probability that it will. But, that is a call each trader has to make for themselves.

I'm not seeing it as a tap trade, but often they are both.

Like most fx traders I was totally overwhelmed when I 1st entered the market. There were uncountable number of “gurus” out there touting innumerable strategies of diff shapes & colors; myriads of EAs costing from $29 to thousands, that were supposedly to make you filthy rich within a very short span of time; all those indicators flying around; & not to forget those trdg signals for sale ……

Having been in the wilderness, losing more than winning along the way I thanked God for leading me to this site, this thread, these people here…… It is so reassuring to see how fx trdg need not be that complex. More reassuring to see all the people here ever willing to share & help.

Thank you Lawgirl for starting this thread. Of course, thanks to FF, too, for providing the platform. By cosmic law, all of you here will surely be handsomely rewarded, one way or another.

I managed to go through the first 10 pages of this thread from the beginning. Am not sure I need to go through all?

I hv a question at this point for Lawgirl. Sorry if it was asked before. Re the H1 4 candle breakout setup, do you hv a rule on the distance between the 2 horizontal lines, probably as a percentage of the daily ATR, before you consider taking the trade?

Thank you all!
