97.74 was support last. 96.32 was resistance last. Buy resistance. Sell support.

Thanks Simon - I got that message as a main part of the thread but if you look at wiz's 2 posts. One is a daily chart and you can see on the daily that the area he says to omit was resistance LAST yet he says to omit it because of a small re-test on the 60m chart. It's a surprise to me because I'm fairly sure there have been many posts by other regulars of this thread that are not doing this, and if the crux of the approach is to drill down to intraday charts when assessing daily levels - then I'm sure many including myself have overlooked that. Thanks for clarifying.

All my best,
MK

I see your confusion, which gives rise to a question I have for the Wiz...

Tom - when you're working out whether a level was resistance last (in the case of a long RR trade) ideally you want a clean breakout of resistance and no butt-kiss retest, but if you drill down to lower TFs then you'll often see a little retest of former resistance turned support at the breakout point. Do you only look at the H1 to work out whether price has already tested your level as support?

And would only one touch on the H1 after price has broken through and closed above your resistance level invalidate that level for you as a potential long RR setup?

Cheers
Simon

Sure I don't have to tell anyone I'm going to be hammering Cable long at 1.6467 on a rounded retest.
Why not pick it at 1.6410?

Hi,

The major reason behind the selloff on CHF was the whole "peg" talk. Todays SNB comment didnt meet the expectations hence those moves..

I am trying to not listen to much to fundamental crap but I believe the market was expecting the peg to the euro and now when they did not mention it, it collapsed short term at least.

I got that but c'mon,this is like kindergarden...''if you don't give me that toy I will tell you''...the SNB did not peg the frank to the euro but they are committed to weaken the frank by any means,and they are taking measures about that right now,why was that move down necessary?I wish that the market would move a little more logically and not take into consideration every little rumour that some big head tells to some news channel.I bet that todays close on xxx/chf pairs will be so much higher that they are now.

That is the most logical move you could expect from todays comments.

Exactly, it came off a round no. and a level that Tom shorted yesterday, not a surprise. On H1 the bar pushing higher failed to close above the previous swing high, telling clue right there.

Excellent trade management on that Euro (the loss)

German GDP has put the Euro in a bit of a tailspin.

I think a push down to 1.4329's is on the cards now.

Might try it long here.
I've hit that 1.4329 long. Target 1.4520 on this one (D1 bias) but I will trail a stop as we move up.

Except that this level didnt have anything to do with this move. Orders came to the market becouse of the comments ... not the round number.

Good question : I will have to go over this in the webinar - it's going to be hard to explain via charts.

How do you know? A level is a level and price turned at the level. The PA said down, the news helped it on its way. If you can't learn from your mistakes and accept that losses are an inherent part of the game you're not gonna make it.

Orderflow from news is not independent from levels in the market. Market-makers know where the most orders are and news or not these orders create the levels and will mark the turning points.

Wiz,

How can it be hard to explain when you previously made it sound like it should be very obvious with regards to your chf/jpy post......
