Thoughts ?
Fantastic setup but the greater zone of support and therefore the area to think about selling was down at 0.9670 in my opinion.

EURUSD short anyone?

Be interested to hear Tom's input as to whether this level has been washed. My feeling is that no, it hasn't, because the area where it looks like it was washed was due to news about the Greek rescue package.

Tom?

:-)
Hi Gt3rs, I feel that the level has been washed way too much for me.

Tom any response on this post i made a little while ago?
I tend to update my W1 and D1 levels once each week but I never rub all my lines off.

I just go through the chart and update them, looking at the price action of the last week - seeing how it has reacted to the levels I have on the chart and whether new ones have been created by the price structure.

During the week - often in the evenings when I am looking at the market close and planning the next session activity I tend to look at the H1 levels. You might find one that needs to go in or one that has become redundant due to way too much washing. I often do this first thing in the morning too as I am looking at what price has done overnight...

It is also important to remember to prune levels on the H1 charts. As time goes by, you can get levels that are no longer relevant (in fact, they often disappear, moving off the top and bottom of the screen if price has made a sharp move in one direction)

So, to answer your question in short: It is a constant process throughout the trading week with a key session for the bigger levels every Sunday.

Thanks for that Tom, so when you say update them do you in any instances move already drawn lines up or down to accomodate the way price seems to be acting differently to a level? Or because you have drawn on a mean level this is the absolute position for the S/R line?

Adding S/R lines don't you find that you end up with too many of them over time?

I'm watching this zone on eurgbp 1h - 0.8842 - 0.8853 for a bounce up. I think Fib levels are not widely used in this thread but I like the confluence between fibs and the S/R levels so I've put a pending buy at 0.8850

PS: Tom, I had the pleasure to take part in one of your webinars and I really like it. Thank you!

What you mean it was washed? The price bounced 20 pips below the level, does it mean it is not good level anymore?

Adilius,

RE: The swing pattern failure.

Here is an example of swing pattern failure that is bullish.

Price makes a swing low at the circled area on the chart.

Price then rallies away from this swing low.

It returns on the day marked by the blue arrow and breaks the swing low intraday but closes above it.

Once you see this, I have found it to be high probability that the next day will be a positive one. From time to time, this can also mark the beginning of a trend reversal.

This pattern would naturally be in reverse for bearish...

Hi Tom, thank you very much for the explanation! Makes perfect sense to me and I will be trying to see similar patterns in my trading. Thank you!

Hey Tom,

I have backtested the SPF on EURUSD daily. Entry on Close. Stop 1 pip below/above the bars low/high. TP at 1R or 2R.

1R TP would give 69% winners
2R TP would give 31% winners

See the trades as per my subjective criteria attached. Maybe someone finds it helpful.

Thanks for the webinars. See you there...

This is awesome! Thank you!
