Let's have a mini pool What will price do? Will 1.2340 hold? Will it find resistance at 1.2400? Shoot through?

Hey do you use fixed tp-levels like 1; 1,5 or 2R (adjusted by s/r -levels), so that ideally every trade yields the same or do you trail them?
For me its very hard to place the trailing stops, sometimes they are to far, so i give a lot of the pips back or sometimes they are too close, so im out very fast

Yes, that is a very valid Weekly setup . Patience, my friend . .Price may retrace down still and trigger your entry . ..
But it is also valid to use PBT&CArorB on the Daily . . . with Weekly HCR/LCS levels . .charts
Hi Jarroo,
thank you for everything you have been doing for us newbs! I've been learning a lot but still strugling with the basics... takes time I guess

Can I bother you with another newb question? Here it goes:
Why do you think price reacts to Weekly HCR/LCS on the Daily charts. Does buy or sell orders acumulate at those levels? I thought that the market looked more to the Highs and Lows...

Thank you very much for everything.

Hey SS

Everyone will be different. I prefer to use discretion just as I do for my exits. Some trades I set a fixed tp, some trades I trail out etc. When I say trail though I do NOT use a trailing stop like a broker offers. I trail my stop manually based on S/R and price action

Hello mike , Can you please provide us with your views about USD JPY ???

I think 78-78.2 area is nice. Sorry that i can't be more specific, I'm using phone, so no chart either

Love to see Mike's view.

Hello mike , Can you please provide us with your views about USD JPY ???
Price is holding on a nice PPZ. As with what jarroo said right now price is failing to close below the previous resistance "box" area. This is support to me. From a lower timeframe perspective we are consolidating tight. Likely a strong breakout to occur soon. We are basically boxing on top of another box

That's an interesting observation HC, but I do look at both levels of the (damn) gaps of HCR/LCS levels.
Jim
HI . Why do you hate gaps so much ? I don't seem to have any problems due to them yet ... Infact , it gives me an additional confidence in the trade considering there are two levels instead of one to protect the trade ...

Gold is in the trench between the Monthly gap at 1623.50-1619.95

Worth keeping an eye or two on.

Hi folks,

Just closed off a modestly successful demo trade on dollar-swiss. I attach the chart here.

You can check out my rationale (good or bad?) at my trading journal here: http://moneyblogpost.com/2012/08/13/...-swiss-usdchf/

Appreciate any thoughts, especially from the J16 crew about how they would rate the set-up.

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

Thanks very much.

I figured it was a tight one and one to watch closely.

Would you bother with set ups like this? Or wait for even better ones?

Cheers

Hey D

I don't bother with stuff like this. I'll just watch and say where do I think price is going. In my view it's much easier to wait for ones that jump out more. But everyone has a different style and that's the good part about this stuff

Thank you!

Does anybody have an ea that automatically sets the sl after x pips at a given price? Cause sometimes i only want to reduce my risk instead of oing to be with the sl for the whole position
