A 4 hour consolidation should make the BO stronger.

Lets trade cautiously today as it is NFP release today. It is one of the biggest release in the FX market. Market is known to react very violent during such release.

Happy trading and more pips to every one.

Hi Lawgirl,

I am new to this thread but it looks really interesting. I have spotted this morning that RSI is up for CADJPY on all three timeframes, but looking at the chart it looks like it had already had the 3 touches - does that mean we've missed the move or would it still interest you?

Thanks for your help,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Welcome to the thread.
IMHO, your H4 3 Tap setup is good, but we still need to wait for the trigger.
If we look in the 1H chart, attached below, we see that price didn't break out the H1 C4 box. If this will happen to the upside, IMHO we will have a good setup: both a H4 3 Tap and also H1 C4 BO.

Please note that there is important CAD news coming out in 4 hours, so maybe the market will continue ranging till then.

Hope this helps

Hi Honest Bill,

May I ask when did you enter this trade?
I'm also monitoring this pair and looking for a ZC setup to enter (if we'll a retrace back up)...

Hi,

I entered on the pullback to 1.6150 level. I should have known the BO was the London fake out. It has fallen back into the range now. So, yes, I should have waited for confirmation as you are doing.

Yes, IMHO I also expected some kind of Fibonacci retrace before the continuation of the original trend, but it went almost all the way back down.
Let's wait and see how things develop now...

Is EURCHF now lining up for a "3 Tap" Trade? Or would you say it has already tapped 3 times so is now not valid?

Not going live as it's NFP day and Trichet is talking soon but just trying to understand the method.

If taking such a trade, what SL would you apply?

Thanks for your help,

Mark

Setting up for a long BO
Took some time doing it, but finally did what it was "supposed" to do.

Got out of this one with a conservative 31 pips.

A 4 hour consolidation should make the BO stronger.
Stayed in consolidation about 12 hours..then quite a volatile BO candle that probably took out all stops. Noone watching PA should have been in that trade yet.
