I saw that Last Coke uses the 38.2 and 61.8 fib ret of the last leg as TP targets.

I personally have no experice with those patterns for now, but will look for obvious trouble areas and fib ret. as TP zones.

german hhfa. a close below the 20 euro would be the trigger for shorts.

german kontron kbc on weekly. we are a little late for taking this breakout. now we can look for a retrace back to the 5 euro and enter there.

Hello everyone,

I have been meaning to learn PA for a while now and trade on longer timeframes due to my dayjob.

I got stuck into this thread last night. I am now 150 pages in and I'm hooked. A few things have really clicked with me in the last few hours.

Well I hope so anyway, was hoping someone could check this out for me. Looking to long EUR/USD. We have a bullish engulfing bar (BuOB?) off a swing low support. I was thinking of longing this on open with a TP at 50% ret - maybe 61% ret with a SL just below the swing low.

Am I on the right track?

Just point out, if the market gaps higher I would probably wait for the gap to be closed before placing the order.

I have a very important query ... See, I have been going through some of the old James charts and I have noticed something that I cannot explain to my self ... According to the general rule , We are not supposed to take those trades of whom the FTA is very close because they probably will be losers . But I have seen James take those PA setups of which FTA was close and even then , Those trades succeeded . Now , if there were some added confluence , then it would have made sense , But there was no extra confluence either . Below are a couple of charts of James and A copy of each one of them from Me with the FTA drawn in grey color .... Notice how on both of them , the FTA was close but still trades worked out ... How did that happen ???

I'll be placing my TP before 1.3. Downtrend has been strong, but is probably due some consolidation and the support seems solid.

I'll give it a whirl...

Thanks Bones.

always be carefull with friday bars. check when the moves happen. a lot of traders (and so the big money) are gone by 1pm est, to my experience.
i want to see confirmation for friday bars on monday next week.

Hey C,
i would like to say here,it all comes down to experience..
i felt the same one time ago but then there is no one way to trade,
just bcos FTA is close or BUOB is at swing high or BEOB is at swing low or it isn't cherry-picked PB doesn't mean those are invalid/crappy trades..

everyone has different style and what james,mike,jarroo posts is "the way they trade" and NOT "the only way to trade" .

follow charts and you will find answers on your own.
Good Luck

Just to be clear ,the trade on chart is a sell ,which I thought was correct Friday ,I note on the platform I chart on we are below a trendline ,I'm looking to market open to to either keep or close sell ,but only take break of 1,2800 long
I do find mt4 unreliable on tls which I like to do ,S+R very good anywhere
