Whole thing was washed with up-move, maybe it was not so clever to expect further expansion to down side as EURUSD already formed it's ADR and started to retrace, anyway from mistakes we learn

Imo it was a fair setup. There was a nice resistance, also the TL that was broken then tested.

There was enough down movement (1.5R for me) that allowed me to get to BE.

Now that the dynamic changed with Cable am looking for longs again. Shorts come back near the range top, IM #18.4.

Btw, does this spike & reverse looking familiar to anyone? Same think happened on the top, judging by past patters the resistance is at the same level as the lower-high to the left of the top.

Cheers & out.

It's building a potential diamond so far and your idea to catch the top of the right side looks quite good. I say quite because of the larger then usual SL. From the glance, PA looks damn sweet to trade inside the potential formation, if it gives. So, lets see what the market has in mind and which way it goes from here.)

You're right mate, didn't look for diamonds for some time now. Since the main diagonal is down the breakout expectation is up. But until it forms it looks quite tradable intraday.

First, I trade inside, until the pattern forms. This goes for all diamonds. Basic rules. For this baby I'm all in on each step if it goes down something like this.-)

Short in the direction of this weeks move with stops above this weeks high(yesterdays high).

Pretty straight forward, I guess.

Those are my favorite setups - 18.4 combined with other technical patterns (diamond in this case). Well spotted.

Unfreaking believeable! The way it kept changing MMOTD, washing stop losses like a professional cleaner . Then, finally, for the brave & prepared ones pulled back one more time to hand them the low risk entry before the real breakout.

#18.4 at its best! And it's making so much more sense as time passes. I remember first time I arrived in this thread I analyzed the MM thing in a mechanical way and was very dissapointed because the results showed that a simple moving average algorithm performed better! Holly molly!

What I failed to realized back then is that the method was created around how market actually works, down to the order flow level, where stops are located, who's in control of the current move, who's going to feel the pain etc. And #18.4 is the king of the hill providing the best possible entry point in this scenario. So freaking clever. Mr. Igrok is a real genius.

Thank you Mr Igrok!

Congrats! That's what I'm talking about!

The profit margin can be increased if the SL is even tighter. Of course it means fewer trades since not all #18.4s get that close but it's something to think about.

CADJPY is trapped in a 110 pip range between support @˜ 83.60 and resistance @ ˜84.70. Even though monthly range is around 81% already, I thought I might take my chances and see if this pair rushes towards 100% mn range completion. So I jumped in today (tuesday) and am letting it ride. I just hope it has enough pressure to take out the resistance level.

On the other hand, I jumped into USDCAD 18.4 IW because of a TL that extends from 25/11/2011 that has been tested quite a few time and could be ready to break. Not only that, but optimal conditions seem to be present as well as the price pattern is there. lets watch and see. Needless to mention that all other majors are gaining agains the USD.

Can't really complain since last week as I was able to make 6 profitable trades and only 2 unprofitable ones. ;-)

And here we go. Right as expected. Heavy decline on GBP news from projected diamond top. My sell limit at 1.5925 missed by 3 pips. Shit happens though. Now I'm looking to see if the market gives another opportunity to re-enter short. TWT.
