Trade the breakout?
Big Pippin,

Imho, your betting dollars for dimes chasing a breakout.

Just using the old chart for illustration, price is currently in a war from 9950-85.

If I'm playing long with the purple upwards fork, I want to get long from the bottom tine(lower median) targeting the center or upper, preferably with price respecting that line and affording me a base of support for stop placement.

When I saw the current pa, it looked like some type of gartley, abcd retracement so I cashed in some and look to possibly long some more from a retracement, note overall we are making lower lows highs, but the temptation to long off the higher time frame double bottom was a great r:r setup.

If price breaks the channel, old trendline, you could look to long from that line on a retracement back into it, if there's proper TA & some supporting base made by price around or just below where you are looking. In that case the trendline becomes the center median of an Action/Reaction set, measure the bottom median distance and project a new down sloping line of equal distance and that lines your new target, once again, price can mutate before it gets there so trail and protect yourself.

I personally would consider that a sub-prime setup and if taken, using a smaller than normal size entry.

fwiw........

Can you give an example of this. Your saying the blue trend line would become the median line ?... the action and re-action lines would go where?

Did I draw this right?

You wouldnt go long on a down-sloping median line set would you? As Tim says, you get 10% by going with the trend. Not exactly sure what he ment by that tho.

Hi GreatYves, I see you use harmonics to trade also. This is something I would like to learn and use in combination with the pitchfork. Can you recommend any books or websites for me?

Thanks.
Forex-tsd dot com have a nice free section on harmonic trading, you will certainly find a lot of informations in there to get you going. As for books, Scott M. Carney have 3 books, but the two last are must have. Harmonic Trading vol. 1 and vol. 2. Also he have a site Harmonictrading dot com. Two indicators are must have: zup (many version and different setup, last is v90) and korharmonics they both behave differently and are good to have and understand. If you trade higher TF beware the prz (price reversal zone) maybe big and sometime redraw a couple time as long as the proportions of the pattern are still valid. So use it as an indicaton of a nearby reversal, it can be combined with any other method. I like it with pitchfork.

BP,

Remember you were the one who said "Long the Break?" I want to be long from the lower medians or range bottoms.

For every chart there are many variables to contend, you pick yours and as long as price complies you stay the course. Ideally we want to try and pick one that has the best chance and offers the greatest reward for our risk.

My set up was a two fold, price playing a horizontal range long from the bottom to top, and price respecting an up-sloping fork.

On the charts you'll see several different examples of a range/channel/measure of price movement being doubled. Normally I find that when a channel breaks you have a combination of two forces playing out. You have a new channel that's formed from the past three swings, p0,p1,p2 looking for a line copied from the p0-p2 drawn from the p1 to possible p3, you will see this as a modified schiff, in addition to the AR drawn from the old channel with it's width doubled.

This doubling of width/range is seen in the markets all the time, you have even heard Tim talk about doubling ranges as targets, that's just a horizontal AR setup.

Will price end at any particular line? No on knows till after the fact but you do expect to see price react at these levels or lines. Where you see confluence of lines you should take note specially when price approaches them.

don't know if this helps?

My 2 cents on the loonie, (i am Canadian), 1.000 have been support for a long time, now the support is broken, 1.000 maybe resistance for a while. 1.000 is a very psychological level for USDCAD.

Obviously the Loonie has been doing well, and Par was bantered back and forth for some time even though historical levels for the pair are down close to .90.

Although the overall trend is down, I'm shooting a little higher closer to 1.01/1.015 area for the retrace where some stiff resistance should come in.

time for some football.

Thanks for the reply, harmonics and pitchfork I'd imagine would go well as they incorporate the larger market structure.
