What would you guys do in this situation?

I should use a bit of a wider stop. It's so painful to be kicked and then price go where you expect. Otherwise it looks logical to me I like it.

Nice bar on gold - Mike's (I think) and buob. And if nice close it also can be PBT setup.

Hey guys, is one pip on gold 0.01 ?? This last bar has now something about 4500 pips!!?? or this is 450, because I lost myself now...

I was referring to the picture in this post :

http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...15#post5969915

We could interpret that in 2 ways. Long on a PBT&CA or Sell on the most recent PBT & CB.
Which one do we take? Cause from what i read, when we decide to go long, we put a limit buy order on that level, and we don't wait to see if it does close below or not.

I may not fully understood your method..All I've read was Chanya's PDF

Edit: Here is a screen to better show what i mean:

There are many options available to enter the market than just a limit order. Much of it has to with confirming our levels as Support or Resistance before we enter a trade.

When we have a Support level from a PPZ level, James16 teaches us to wait for a bar confirmation to confirm that the Support level really is a Support level by looking for a Bullish PA ( Bullish PB or Bullish Outside Bar, etc.) at that perceived Support level.

My method uses the confirmation of S/R in a different way . . . by using the Close of Price.

Do these charts help . .??

We see a strong level, around which revolves the price, and can not close below it 4 days ..
Yesterday it still ended pin false breakout. IMHO, this deal has the potential to go up to the green line.
A similar situation exists for EurCad, only in reverse
Looks like another false breakout on Friday. RK . . . .now maybe we'll go upwards .

Jim, I can not really understand why we are ignoring the levels with the red rectangles on, especially the consolidation box.

EDIT: If you look at the black chart, we can see that the current downtrend has had some reaction at these two areas in yellow.
These are the main two areas that are confusing me as to why, you deem them not valid.

Steve . .I can't speak for DGB . .but I believe he saw the simplicty of your Cad chart (which is a good thing) and decided to mark some levels on his own. .mainly HCR levels. He just went to his Cad chart and when straight up the chart marking HCR levels ..and he drew these in blue.

Those levels that you drew are important . .I was just answering DGB's question on the levels he drew . .which were propably his first attempt in doing so. . .that's all.

Hi Guys

We have interesting scenario on EurNzd.

Price finally reached round number 1.5700 which worked well as support in february (creating double bottom from daily point of view). I see an oportunity to sell this cross, but what option do You think is best?

1) Wait for Weekly confirmation of resistance (if price closes below 1.5700) and search for entry next week.
2) Search for entry today if price should retest those Weekly/Daily levels before market closing. (Jarroo's PBT style)
3) Enter short if price does not retest those levels and...
Your english is great and your anaylsis of the sell options are even better audioslave . .

This is a strong Weekly and Daily LCS level. . .(previous Support turning into Resistance) . . Price had a couple of days of Closing below on the Daily and now we have a Weekly that Closed below confirming the level as Resistance.

I like # 3 at the time of your writing . .the Hourly BEOB . .but we can see that there was no momemtum in that Hourly BEOB . .if it did, Price would have broke downward pretty hard on the next bar or two after it formed. But we got nothing . . just the opposite .

The uptrend on this pair and EurAud are very strong. The poodle Daily PB (tiny, weak PB) on the EurNzd is not helping the cause to go short.

The chart is saying its Resistance but the strong up trend is saying, that Resistance will not hold for long. Price Beaking Through & Closing Above these levels look very good for longs.

Sorry, I can't post charts at the moment. Just a quick update on my trades:
I closed my position on EURAUD at 1.2199. I thought about moving my stop again but I think price has reached an important resistance level now. A bigger retrace seems probable.
SL for AUDUSD and AUDCHF stay the same.

Have a nice day everyone!
Hans
This was a perfect exit on the EurAud (and EurNzd) . .Why? because if Price falls from this strong Resistance then . . .you win. . .if Price Breaks Through and Closes Above these strong Resistance levels turning them into strong Support . .you win also . .because you can always re-enter long if it does.

I'm still long on both pairs because I feel the uptrend on both is still very strong. But I would rather be in your shoes than mine. . because I don't have a win-win situation like you do right now . .

(btw, thanks for the kind words in my profile)

oh, for some reason, I thought you meant the levels I drew were not relevant, simply because the chart you posted did not have those levels.
sorry for the confusion.

Yeah! Totally agree, Grizly drew some good levels on his chart.

Yup, I am new to these

I plotted the HCR and LCS as you said Didn't think levels that far and in such traffic matter. I looked only at clear levels.
Hope you post those beginner videos soon in the guest area

Good luck!

I went short on this the day after it broke the LCS and CB (retest). How would you have managed it till now, and after?

Hi folks,

I've learned plenty from this thread so far. Thanks to all of you!

Just logged another demo trade on my trading journal. The psychology of trading is so important. Missed a couple of brilliant setups over the past few days, and then got sucked into (demo) trading a poor one; or at least one in which I didn't have much confidence; Tuesday's candle on the cable (GBPUSD). Stuffed about with entry. Stuffed about with trade management. And when all is said and done I failed to trust my instincts.

I was watching the NZDJPY, http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...98#post5962498
and endep up entering on Tuesday's bar using a 13pip buffer and 66 pip s/l. I've reduced 1/2 risk and considering since the PBT&CB bar on Tuesday, each day has closed lower than previous low, I'm going to try hold a little longer.
Support held so I closed the trade for about +0.5R

So I thought I would take a moment to reflect on my trading since I've been studying J16 and Jaroo methodology.

I have been trading for about 3 years now, some live, but mostly on demo because I've never found that magic indicator (wink) that makes my demo account grow 100%/week. Prior to J16 I never had any consistently positive results, and my positive months were more the result of lucky trades using absurd levels of risk.

I started studying J16 in June and dedicated myself to following James' outline of treating this like a business. In July I began trading the J16 methodology exclusively (no indicators other than a 365 EMA), and grew my demo account by 40% for the month using improper MM, but I had far more wins than losses.

In August, using proper MM, risking a maximum of 3% on any given trade, I have increased my balance by 5%, and have another 5% in equity still open (and protected with stops at BE).

I am 2/3 of the way towards opening a small live account, and I can't describe how much more comfortable and confident I am in entering trades and managing them. J16 has provided great clarity for trading in a way that suits my personality and allows me to express myself through trading, and my patience has increased by a million fold.

I am more optimistic than I have ever been that I can get to where I want to be as a trader, and I want to thank everyone who posts in this thread for their insight and help. This is a great place to be, and I am sure that I will continue to learn from all of you and that one day I'll be able to give back as much as I have received.

Thank You!
