EU SL HIT for me too. Can not always be right! That`s what MM is for... IF i`d kept sell stop order in place i would never had enter the trade. But got too excited, canceled the order ans sold spot when i thought their was a small pull back. GU did react down nicely... Looking for next trade idea!

I have answered this question but I see that my post is gone ....... so that I do borkerul FINANCE STS analysis is because the bar starts at 00.00 daily, with other brokers incomparatie starts at 01.00, 02.00 .. so here there is this difference
I tried with compress hourly charts, same result.

Hello WallStreet03,

Your selection of pivots is good...Pivot 3 could be moved to the other lows just to the left for another view. However, you made the mistake many traders make, then they say forks don't work because they got stopped out . If you look closely, you would notice that price made a lower low and was making lower highs as well...and you have drawn an up-trending fork. Try selecting pivots that would give you a down-sloping fork first (high-low-high) to match the overall trend direction. Take your read from that fork, then add anything else you think would help to clarify the prospect of a trade. The up-trending fork will have you looking for a buy in a downtrend. Not fun.

Take care,

I have read the comments posted and and have seen the charts attached over the past several pages. A few thoughts have danced in my head that perhaps will help though they my hinder some of you. Not in any particular oder:

1. The use of any trading tool is both objective and subjective, da forks are no different. But if you take two individuals who understand the basics their charts will look similar. Forks, as Andrews taught them, begins with alternative pivots: h-l-h or l-h-l.

2. When used accordingly, median lines will show you probable path of price and where price will run out of energy.

3. median lines have not only a price element but a time element in their mix.

4 the focus of a professional trader is to make a profit irregardless of their interpretation of buy or sell, north or south, up or down....managing your risk is more important then being right about direction. You can be right on direction, but still unprofitable and vis a vie

5. waves that wash up on the shore start in the deep water. Same with charting price, you want an idea of overall direction, look to the deeper water (ie dailies, weeklies), but trade on the time frame of your choice based on what your chosen time frame is telling you.

6. Ability to read the structure of a market is tantamount to your long term success.

fwiw,

xt

Hello Xt,

What you have said is so true. The only one I would like to tweak is this:

4 the focus of a professional trader is to make a profit irregardless of their interpretation of buy or sell, north or south, up or down....managing your risk is more important then being right about direction. You can be right on direction, but still unprofitable and vis a vie

Managing risk is important for sure. A professional trader can tell when they are heading the wrong way and recover... still come out with a plus. In order to do that, they've gotta know when they are out of step with the market. (Hope I didn't misunderstand your point). Other than that, I agree 150% with the rest. On the money!!!

Take care,

FX4Newbies

P.S. You are definitely a seasoned trader and good chartist.

One view...not too close up. Here is Usd-Chf...Usd-Cad next..misread your note.

Two options on Usd-Cad...different take. The "right draw" is the one, when drawn in accordance with Andrews' method, gives the trader a good read on price. Does price respect the lines?

BigPippin,

I opened up a euro chart and tried to walk through my first thoughts on a blank chart. Not sure if it will help you or hinder you and it is by no means complete. Just some things I look at when beginning to mark up a chart.

Where you marked your buy entry..was that at the open of the bar or the close....

If it was the open, that just seemed like a really risky trade. You had no idea the market was going to go higher, why not go long after the market closed and broke those highs, then place your stop under the bottom fork line?..that would seem like a much higher probability trade.
