NU: no trade on Kiwi for me, but I'm posting this chart to show usually you don't need more than a fib and a few S/R lines.
Why not, don't u think that PA will continue his downward move to 38.2 Fibo.

Hi Shahab. Nice to see you posting again. Really like your charts. Very easy to understand and you make it look so easy ! Just a few questions:

What TF do you mainly trade. Daily, H4, H1 ?

Also how would you describe your trading method (without the use of COT analysis), is it mainly touch trades off Fib and S/R levels (confluence of bot) ?

How do you determine you stop loss placement ? Is it a fixed number of pips or above bar highs/lows etc ?

If you dont mind me asking, whats your win rate and average percentage gain per month ?

Many Thanks
Dan

What I meant was that I didn't have any trade on Kiwi. But I think I might take this long here, good RRR. If .8265-70 fails, the next trade will be long at .8190-.8200.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the kind words. I usually trade based on 4 hr chart, but always keep in mind the trend in daily and hr. I have14 different trading models that I developed myself, but the classic trades are based on fib, S/R,and RSI div. SL depends on the setups but usually calculated in pips based on the standard deviation. The win rate is around 65-66%.

The EURNZD looks OK, but I usually don't trade any crosses except EURGBP. The EU setup is great, but keep in mind that's what everyone's looking at so it might not get there.

Thanks for the reply mate. I was just wondering why you think the E/N setup is 'OK' but not great. Is it because of the fact it is a cross or is it more to do with the tech analysis itself. One of my problems is not being able to spot a great setup so im always willing to learn how the more experiened traders like yourself do it.

Good trade
As for your short, it may work out or not, but I don't get the reason behind your trade, would you care to elaborate?

2 Bearish shooting stars on resistance on the D1 TF, gives the impression that the bullish trend is over and a trend reversal is in place, a rejection of the PA on a strong resistance with a bearish long wicked pinbar on H1, i will go short after these more than enough bearish candlesticks on resistance signals.
Divergence on RSI on the D1 and I forgot the Long term down Trendline that these Shooting stars formed below specially the second one.

We will see how it will work out.
Your opinion is appreciated.

Regards,
B.R.

I think the S turned R (and vice versa) levels in crosses (with the exception of major crosses like EG, EUCHF, EJ, and AUDEU) are not as reliable as majors. But I have not been looking at them very often so my opinion might be biased.
