When you say 'your level was resistance last' do you mean that if it was support last then this trade would have been ok
If you go back over the thread I think it will become apparent that this is one of the most important aspects of the Wizard's philosophy. And while I hate putting words into his mouth, I think he would say that not only does it need to be support last, he would like to see the last few consecutive touches as support

Thanks for the feedback BadgerMatt and Sam0182, appreciated.

USDCAD.... I think this currency pair is actually evil.

I pulled my RR entry on this one due to the rounded bit finding support before the level.

97 did get a reaction eventually but it was pretty muted and then previous support becoming resistance, bish bash bosh goodnight vienna.

....anyone trade the sfp at 1.0050? what a trade if you could have held it.

This was a nice fade of a range break short on gold today. Is this off to 1700?

Hi Human,

I use ProRealTime but you need to pay for that. However OANDA does Metatrader on a demo account that never expires - they (their sales team) don't seem to bother you or call you up either which is good!

Cheers

I found this EA to come in handy backtesting gap trades, just to get an idea what R to use and gap size, etc. I tested as far back as 1990 and the results are quite impressive. Wouldn't use it for live trading though.

Kal

You mean on the Hourly TF? No I was not concerned, picking up more sellers that are on the wrong side of the trade.

First time to this Swing point in a month ..

Hey Kal,

Nice trade Jim

If I may add to your comment....the news or gurus or services all weekend were pointing out what trouble the euro was in for this week many naming certain lows .....and many were pointing out the head and shoulder pattern that had formed last week which set up this fake out leaving one with a SFP(trapping traders/retail)...the story was supported with additional bars/signals/story/signs pointing higher after the SFP to keep one in the trade. R/R was worth it ...all of the above I beilieve Tom has addressed.

Did Tom talk about the Euro at his webinar yesterday? . .I missed that one, yesterday ..darn it . .those are always fun to attend . ..

I can see those predictions of the Euro falling coming true . . (HnS etc .) when we get strong Close below the neck line or 1.3000 . .or LCS level . . on the Daily or even the Weekly TFs. Once that happens . .all bets are off for going long ..

Just posting a chart of what looks like a potential GBPCAD trade. Does this fall into crazy cross category? Also pointed out the missed trade which looked nice. Would appreciate comments good or bad on this one. Checked out my spread on this as 4 pips so that's ok. Purple arrow is my SL, Blue entry and yellow TP.
