Another trader brought this chart to my attention so I decided to mark it up...

If anyone has any requests just post a chart of what you have and I'll mark it up on my side as well...I'm always looking for good trade ideas.

I have drawn this pitchforks kindly please verify if they are correct....
Remember to use the last three current pivots...you have yours drawn
off the current price action...your C point has not formed a pivot/swing
yet...price could continue and your C point would be wrong. You need to
back all three of your points one swing from current price action.

I don't know how accurate this is because I'm new to volume analysis,
but it's really starting to make more sense as you see the result in price
action...What is the big money doing that is the question...they can't hide it, it's shows up in the volume and price action is the result.

I'm not sure what your question is...swings are significant areas where the market turns....I try to trade from one swing to the next long and short, using momentum change at support/resistance confirmed in the volume...

Let's see if we can catch a runner on this retest... looks like the momentum is not there may have to ditch this unless it gets some legs here soon.

8:02 CST looks like the high has been tested a 3rd time and rejected...may see some action after all...
8:07 CST sell stop orders below 1.3308. Consolidating between the high and there...still looking for a break back down to fill the gap.
8:15 finally some breaking action short AU long EurAud still short EU
8:28 trades still waffling...dollar cash has put in a nice doji on the 78.6 fib if we hold here we will see a nice push.
8:36 5th test of the high EU may have to take the loss and regroup...doesn't look like it's going to hold
8:49 EU may finally be giving up the ghost...sell stop orders executed on down thrust off the high

about to call it night if this one doesn't break down soon. Choppy up here.
9:03 1.3326 being tested yet another time...some one definitely wants
to buy this market...might try to play the break here to the long side if its not going to give up the ghost short here.

EU had a nice pullback to the 38 fib and now has close to a new high...dollar cash has broken down it's 78 fib expect to see the 100, 127/138 now...Long on the break...tight stops on EU short stopped for a loss. Commodity currencies look the strongest AU, NZD, CAD...Big boys must be back buying stocks on sale...black Sunday...lol!

need to play a bit wider stops and little bit lower leaverage...they just took out the stops and flushed...I'm done

This is what happens when you try to be too precise...hope some of you
caught the move...saw it setting up just second guessed myself.
