Looks like it could be a good long play to me...
be careful . you can see, on the other hand ,there is a down trend line in my chart , a triangle zone.

Hi Jim, Everytime i look at your charts, supp turn res, res turn supp -you sure make it clear as day. However, when i try to draw PPZ, i always have a hard time determining the exact level like you do. So it is hard for me to see if price bar really has closed above res / below support since often times my PPZ is at different level than yours or other seniors. Do you mind sharing how you could pinpoint those PPZ levels very accurately? Thank you
Hi cool

I am in the same boat as yourself rying to get a handle on PPZs. The best way to approach it in my opinion is to plot the most obvious ones first. Problem I am having is my ppz 'zones' especially on the weekly are very wide, eg over 100pts. Trying to narrow them down a bit. Study Sir Jarroo's charts as much as you can as he is the master at PPZ 9and many other things!). Look at this chart on the daily - ppz is 60 pips wide but would like a narrower band here.

Yes, I tried to enter for a possible break of a weekly PB at a discount price, 1H-TF gave me my buytrigger via a nice 1H-PB @ 13200 which is also the lefteye of that weekly PB.

When you drop down to a lower TF do you have strict guide lines you follwo with yuor method. Example: weekly to 1hr only, Daily to 1hr only, 4hr to 15min only? Or do you look at any lower TF that may give you an entry? Example: Start on weekly, see a nice PB. Move down to daily for entry, nothing there. Move down to 4hr, nothing there. Move down to 1hr see potential setup off BEOB. Trade off 1hr.

Thanks J, I've tightened my stop, we'll see if the 89.65 flip holds.

Hey Danny was this a touch trade? Did you get an entry off a lower TF?

Read an early post from Jarroo that said he likes to start marking his PPZs off the weekly TF. And Mike mentioned to narrow it down look for a nearby RN, 1.100, 1.200, even 1.250, 1.350. I noticed quite often the weekly PPZs are right off these BRNs and RNs.

Thanks SC, you're most kind

Well, the other day i was talking to Taz and PB about some PPZ that we drew slightly differently on weekly EURGBP. I had mine at 0.8460, PB had his at 0.85, and Taz had his at 0.8550

Do you mind explaining your thought process in determining the exact PPZ level? I am really stuck
Hey cool,

Dont worry too much. As SC(a wise counsel) says it takes time and experience and taking the right advice from the seniors here like Jim, Jaroo, Mike, Seeking etc. I am finding it challenging too but if you work at it you will get there. Another point to remember is that PPZ is subjective to the trader - 5 different traders might give five different levels on the same chart although they will probably be near each other. Just my opinion.

entry missed by 5 pips....

I re-entered the trade cause i saw that there is a good possibility that the previous 'support' (was a resistance in majority) has turned into resistance. Seems like i was right. I closed part of the trade and put stops to BE. Now lets see if we can get to 110

Hey Spook,

It's a touch trade off daily charts. I don't use lower time frames.

Hello Mike, thanks for the great explanation. I've got a question: Was your SL under the BRN right away or did you wait until the first bar of your trade closed?

I know that those RN act as reliable S/R but I'm still not sure where to place my SL behind them. That's because sometimes price spikes through a fair amount of pips before closing back above/below them.
Hey Han

I used the BRN to move my stop up after price moved away. But initially started under the low of the bar. I use that extra room as my way to reduce risk(that's why I don't just start with it higher to increase my position size)

Best
Mike

I started off with drawing zones instead of lines like you did, but problem arises when i need to determine whether the PA bar close above res/ below supp -as Jaroo often talks about. I also draw them from the monthly down to weekly then daily chart -but refining them to lines is where i have problem

First, a PPZ is not exact. it is an area, a zone, so it consists of a number of pips. this is a very important point.
so you three having different PPZs is no surprise. we all see & look at things differently. (talking about perspective & seeing/looking, check out the 'Selective attention test' video )


luckily, i have IBFX too. here are some charts. im really a bad teaching/conveying thoughts, so hope the charts help.
look for areas with a lot of price flips (support turns resistance turns resistance etc..). often/sometimes they coincide with a RN/BRN/VBRN
First chart is an old chart ('old' meaning PPZs are a few weeks old); the rest are new wherein the PPZs are plotted just for this post

what u'll notice is my lines are not thick. through time, i have refined my lines, mainly to reduce clutter. the lines are thin BUT im aware that each line is a zone consisting of a number of pips above & below it where price can stop at/bounce off. i plot mini PPZs on H4 & below --- these show up as much shorter horizontal lines (shorter lines relative to Daily & up PPZs; in general, the longer & the thicker the lines [in my charts] = more important)

EDIT
Hey fellow Asian,
my IBFX has been crashing for some reason... i have to quickly redo my charts (first chart is the 'old' weekly chart; 2nd & 3rd charts were done just now; turquoise horizontal line is H4 PPZ; thick dark red lines are Monthly PPZs (meaning plotted from the monthly chart which is not shown here), thin dark red lines are daily PPZs. the monthly PPZs were ok enough that i did not need to plot weekly PPZs)

Hey Seeking

Thanks for the great post on the PPZs - much appreciated. I have just checked my chart for the same pair and my PPZ are very similar to yours so this has given me some encouragement!! Only question I have is can you have too many PPZs which gets in the way of your trading?

Hey Kal,
u mistake me for Seekinglight for the second time
he makes much much longer posts than me, that's for sure

to answer your Question: it's possible.
depends on how you see/look at charts.
some only need &/or can tolerate Zero to a few lines/PPZs.
some can tolerate a lot of lines & indicators on their charts & still trade well
