One pattern I have seen occurring over and over is when price doesn’t bounce off an important line like this firebrick midpoint of last week… it almost always breaks through it especially when it hangs around it for so long… So EU going higher is more likely now… I sure hope not... we'll see

Oh well, we shall move on too the next one if be the case

This is my answer to that little comment:

Of the trades I took in the last couple of trading days (mostly yesterday):

gbpnzd stopped out: made 111 pips
eurnzd: +168 pips floating
gbpaud: +85 pips floating
gbpjpy: +41 pips floating.

and I am moving on.

Cheers and All The Best

ok i have a huge question this is confusing me

see chart below, as u can see in the red bit i highlighted we can see a buy signal, so i took this according to rules from the retrace on 1 hour, BUT now marked in green we have a sell signal?

what do i do now? keep my long, or look for a short now?

Can you please post your hourly chart and show entry as I can't see clearly on my charts where there would have been an entry yesterday to go long.
Great questions by the way
I would be looking for a short but what do i know!

yes, i marked 2 possible entries for long in the 2 red circled areas, first was a rejection off a fib level, second was a bullish overpowering on the 50 fib level which is where i bought

Bear in mind this is analysed in hindsight which is always easier!
Well I would not have considered entering on the first possible entry as that bar did not finish bullish enough.
The second bar though strongly bullish in itself does not give a clear indication of direction (too many bars with longish upper tails indicating a reluctance to go up and the close of the bullish bar did not close above the open of previous down bar thus, to me, indicating lack of strength).
Lets see what Chantal has to say.

Well it is not only a matter of following PPs blindly. In post 141 & 250 I have explained the importance of higher tfs. It is not something to take lightly. Looking at AUDCAD, this pair just got to a high it hasn’t seen since 2004 (orange highlighted zone). That is very significant… However its bullishness above parity is also very obvious. So what I would have done if I wanted to be bullish on this pair, I would have waited for the MN pivot low (green triangle) to have its retrace on D1 and become active (somewhere in the purple zone) as in giving another PL and take it from there to H1 for instance.
Looking at W1 the bold bearish engulfing candle made three weeks ago is showing its intentions very clearly off 1.05. So would I take that on for a sell (Pink Triangle) if I could, yes why not if it fits and until/if I get the buy off MN/D1…
The daily TF is dictated by the higher ones. For the best part of this 2nd QTR the pair has been stuck in a range, so what do I do? I leave it alone until I get clear signals or a good opportunity.

hi Chantalb

that sort of thing I look at them too ... support and resistance in MN or W1

but my platform only has data from the aus-cad 2005, for example?

I can not see the resistance of 2004

old data can be loaded?
