Some factors which can lead to a successful trade. Especially trading the GU pair.

1. Intraday Previous Support.
2. 50% Fibonacci Level.
3. xx00 Price Level in the Market.
4. Resistance Evident.

Study it and watch for the signs.
Indeed definately those are the areas to keep an eye on

Also this type of pattern can potentially lead to a market reversal intraday.

1.2.3 pattern where price closes higher than some intraday resistance level, once a Higher Low is formed.

Be careful of breakout entries though. Many times breakout entries can lead to false breaks and stops.

Some key intraday levels to watch can easily be identified. Simple fibonacci levels combined with other important factors.

Most notably xx00 and xx50 levels. 50%-61% retraces, and Previous Support/Resistance Levels.

Can't make it any more simpler.

Taking the counter trend is always going to be low probability.

4 hourly charts not looking at any entries as yet after the new bar but keeping an eye on AUDNZD.

A bit of hindsight here, however you can see candle which indicates some selling pressure evident at a previous level.

Not an ideal setup, better would of been if this was evident at the xx50 level. 38% fib or 50% fib.

Yes sometimes the small trades all add up and can be easier to achieve than the larger moves

Thanks, it seems like eveything went fine, 3 days of pretty much lying on my couch before getting up and about slowly again to get some movement happening again.

Think the pain killers are helping at the moment though

Was just about to take short on AUDNZD 4 hourly when my connection dropped and when came back on price had moved up slightly so still not in on that one and thinking now might just sit on the fence at the moment with that.

Good to see your silver making a move back up.

any comment on RR or TP is welcome
cheers
Quoting nbafx
i took long e-j bcos last fri long lower wick PB... giving a sign of strong momentum to north + aligning with the TL.
should the momentum stays strong... then my TP is reachable... let see how it works out
cheers

Be careful of buying into "potential" resistance.

dw i drew the TLs n i see both e-j n e-chf are "fighting" to survey "long"

Havent had a decent daily trade for some time now and still not a lot that is grabbing my attention. A lot of sideways movement at the moment. There is a few pairs that could potentially be setting up for some short continuations. EJ, AJ, EC, NJ, NU. Will simply monitor some of these to see what happens with price, have no pending orders in as yet.

Hi nba,

Take the time to really look at the charts, look for patterns or bars that repeat themselves. When you can identify them they will stand out to you on the chart.

But as with all things trading nothing is certain and you are going to get those patterns that will not play out the way you planned.

USDSGD is not a pair that I monitor but took a quick look at the chart. It is definately in a long term down trend. There is no real long term support areas underneath except for the daily, Weekly and Monthly does not show any so it can be hard to plot below the current lows.
