How and where to draw levels

- Practice makes perfect. However, if you mark a chart up, then sit back and watch price react to your levels and you feel like you haven't found the holy grail, then you are doing something wrong. OK, flippancy aside, you should be seeing price reacting pretty much to the pip to the majority of your levels. If not, you are drawing them in the wrong place. It's as simple as that.

- Start at recent swing highs and lows and follow back to the left to see if it marks other swing points.

Oh no! The level was 51s! Just shows you why you have to be precise.
Tom would you say a mean drawn S/R would have been more spot on here. I was trying to draw it so to accomodate for all the swing touches recently and previously without being to far away from those touches that just missed it somewhere in the middle really. Sorry just want to know how i can draw a more accurate level thats all, im sure after drawing a few more it will become second nature, but thats exactly what im aiming for and why i didnt draw the level exactly as you called it in the thread otherwise wouldnt be a natural process to me.

A look at the week ahead

AUD/USD : Long at 1.0789

Tom,
I missed the AUDUSD buy, had my order set at 1.0792....

Would you even consider getting back into that buy if the market re-tested that level? Or is it a wash?

I'd say this was the first retest everyone was waiting for this morning. You missed it; just move on.

I had my order at 1.0786 so was also missed.

Could anyone who had there order triggered say where you had your order. As far as I can see the only recent bar high that was hit by todays price was from 14/07 so would be interested to know where others had their level.

I tried to get the mean of the last few bar highs but maybe other feeds looked different. I am using FxPro

No it's Swing Failure Pattern, although thinks it's been renamed now to Swing Pattern Failure.

Tom, I've been following your method for quite some time. Was hoping whether you or anyone else here can validate this level as a "high probability trade".

1.2800 audnzd looking good on daily and 4h charts. 61.8% fibs as confluence?

I know you don't trade this pair.

Thanks in advance.

/ I have this same level marked up...if that's not high probability, I don't know what is.

Tom, you on board with this?

I also missed it. I had my order at 1.0789. When I saw price reached FTA without taking me, I cancelled my order.

Edit: My personal View: I am waiting for the trade since long time. I am still thinking that it will bounce back from 1.25 to 1.28 and then to 1.25.

Now there are two options for me.

1. If price bounces back to 1.28.. short at 1.28 for 1.25

2. If price breaks toward south at 1.25 (already 5 bars touching 1.25), then wait for a retracement trade at 1.25
