Quoting Ill-b-back
Take a look (15 min, 1hr, 4hr charts). Interesting.
Needless to say, buying 2 lots 1.0960 no SL, will watch price, but should not be a problem with that bull candle leading the way

thanx; looks like it is breaking down; so i took some profit... look to get back in lower
i still think it is going to get to 1.04 before reversing and testing the latest lows.

Hi Ill-b-back,

I've been following your analysis on the AUD/USD and learning how you trade. Its a very effective strategy that you have. Thanks so much for sharing. Btw, you say that you are 2 longs at 1.0960. I just wanted to know if thats a typo error. Did you mean 2 longs, one at 1.000 and one at 0.960? Thanks!

I like it so much I sold the company (Sold 0218, tp 0140). Just 1 lot as counter trend right now on 4 hr timeframe, And there is nearly always a 50% retrace on big bull candles. I might even buy at the 50% retrace as the 61.8 retrace confluence with the trendline and ema's just looks too far away and I don't think price will get there in time and still respect the lower trendline, but def looks to be breaking down to me. Will consider closing out if 1 hour candle closes above white trendline. Made nearly $8000 yesterday so worth the risk.

Hi Ill-b-back,

I notice that you are using Fib levels for your analysis but your fib levels don't show the price at each level. You could add price by going to "Fibo Properties". Under the "Fibo Levels" tab, you can amend the description for each level to like this "0.0%%@%$", "23.6%%@%$" and so on. Once you have done that, you fibo tool will show 0.0%@1.0033 (or whatever the price is). Hope you find it useful!

Sorry, my mistake, it is long at 1.00960. I missed a zero, just as well I am trading against the bank and not working for one, or another couple may take off overseas with $10,000,000 of "misplaced" funds

Uh oh, might consider bailing on that short as price may have just been retesting the daily 200ema during Asia after closing above it yesterday, then shoot up again off the 38.2 retrace. Will wait to see what London holds. Might consider SL above yesterdays high which will cost me a quarter of yesterdays gains if hit.
Lesson: Always check all timeframes before trading, there are "hidden" traps.

By the way, anyone know why trendlines do that when you change timeframes??? (AKA see "vertical" trendline) in above post.

For anyone in this trade, better SL would be a close above 76.4 retrace (above 02941). If 1 hr candle closes above this fib it will usually continue in that direction if wondering.

Here's my take on it, you drew your trendlines on the 1hr, 4hr chart for that particular day. 1hr chart = 24 different candles, 4 hr char = 6 different candles. But you have to remember the trendlines that you draw apply to the 24 candles (1hr) and 6 candles (4hr). However, the day candle is just 1 single candle. Thus there can't be a trendline on the single candle. Hence all trend lines drawn on the particular day for whichever timeframe will always show as a vertical line on the day chart. Hope that makes sense! =)

Hope to get to buy order just above 61.8 retrace WITHIN 4 hours so as to respect the trendline (assuming trendline is correctly drawn).
