Appears that AU is hesitating at the 1.0500 figure and having a tough time getting above it for now, as expected
Am I missing something cuz I don't seem to be seeing the divergence

No, you are not missing anything. It is not that easy to see it I guess given the two points are not that far apart. But here is a chart in case that may help.

So I moved my SL to BE and closed 1/2 already since Bernanke is speaking in 30 minutes according to FF calendar, and I don't want to lose this because of a speech so I normally moved to BE, that way I can't lose the trade. If the reaction to speech goes in my favour, it is a nice bonus then

Stopped out at BE. However, we may still have a chance to get in Long again, if we go above the high of the hammer candle, as we still have divergence in place on NZDUSD

These have NOT setup yet, but it appears as though we "might" see setups on EU or EJ or USDCHF. Why? Because those are already showing signs of divergence on H!. We need to keep a closer eye on them to see if these setups materialze.

Also, EUR AUD is setup for a possible short entry below the candle formation. I however do not trade this pair and know nothing about it, as my spread is 5 pips, I would not trade it. But if you trade this pair or are familiar with its personality, check out the chart below.

Can you give more specifics on when you are entering your trades once the criteria are met? Do you wait for a bar to close above or below the pin or engulfing bar as confirmation or do you enter at the close of the signal bar? Where are you setting your SL/TP?

Thanks again for sharing.

I will discuss entry and exit and trade management tomorrow if you guys care to read
Prices are never too high to begin buying or too low to begin selling.

Entry is a couple of pips above the high/below the low of the bar. I do not wait for another bar to confirm as the pinbar or engulfing bar is already a good enough sign for entry.

I set my SL a few pips below/above the opposite side of the candle. TP1 to be the same as SL, and TP2= 2 X SL or next support/resistance level and moving SL to BE.

Hi PurePrice,

You may want to check out Razormans Range Breaker method. It is similar to what you are doing. On the first post are several videos which you may find beneficial.

the system is like jankone ... definitely beneficial!
basically is what I use ... the only difference is that instead of RSI use CCI

I have found over time that the simplest, most beneficial

engulynf, pinbar and divergence (rsi or cci) ... not need anything more

Not sure why you need a template. It is just RSI(7) that you need to pace onto your charts. The divergence lines are drawn manually by hand.

The things i don't really understand is how do you know that divergence has taken place or not?

and what are the entry and exit rule??
