All he have to do now is to be patient and wait for that opportunity in the bushes
OK, I'll try not to obliterate it with my machine gun in the mean time!

Why is it so difficult to make some money.
See this chart, it looks so dirt simple. Just PA bars with some space and some knowlege of where will price likely to stall first.

But i still can't make money.
Maybe it is similar to skiing. You gotta do the opposite that your instincts tell you (Or tell your girlfriend to secretly take the opposite trades of yours haha .... just kidding)

I can't ski by the way

It is. But if you look on every chart, every pair, every timeframe, it doesn't matter. These bars are powerfull and reach most of the time simple the FTA. How difficult can it be, just buy at the break of the bar and do something at FTA (close postion, stop to be, etc..)

and from previous post: "Why is it so difficult to make some money."

There should be the answer:
in the difference of those 2 charts with same currency pair, same timeframe.

If you take the 30 last daily candles you should able to make some money , relative easy.

LL, LH, LL, LH, double top, LL. What is the next? - a "Don't know" ?

I sold on a retrace to the red daily line. It has gone through this and retraced 61.8% of the previous daily candle which was a DBHLC/BEOB. Not fun taking this kind of heat but you have to have faith in your method. Anyway we'll see how it goes.

Hi!

There is a BEOB with div. and, TL

If price pull back to 1.5800, it will be an opportunity to short.

FTA1: 1.5700

this DHLC on GBPAUD is interesting,
the bullish bar is a lot bigger than the last couple of bars, the highest point of both bars is pretty much a pivot point going as far back as 2010.
The idea would be to short it with an expectation to stall just near the 365.

the problem in the way of this is the BRN. is it best to wait for a close below the 1.5700 level and then enter?

any help greatly appreciated

Hilton

the other thing is the fundamentals with both pairs. Aud isslowing in the mining sector and the rescent announcment by the RBA plus the pound is sensitive to BOE Governor appointmnet

same here.
"remember we want BEOB at swing high, this is a swing low" would say Mike.
I was playing this as a continuation setup together with PBTCB. H1/H4 signatures were ok before they were invalidated.... Stupid to say that, isn't it? I was right until proven I was wrong...
Anyway, once again I failed while not following my own rules: wait for DCC. Damn... Why is it so hard to listen to oneself?

Do you think the GBPAUD 1.5700 level is important or the GBPUSD 1.6000 level and AUDUSD 1.0170 area support? Just food for thought as you mentioned this BRN.

Hey C

This is more along the lines of what I was getting at in my last post. Look for those stand out bars.

The cons here are really the overall lack of confluence. The plus is the size of the bar and where price is going. I put some notes on a chart for you on how my chart would look. It's all about putting the pieces together. Also the BRNs as I use them are every 500 pips so the 5700 is simple a large round number. If anything you can use that area for trade mgmt if you still feel this bar is worth trading. I'd rather watch that rising TL and bar highs if that can break and see if that can hold as a flip area. This could very well be the bar that triggers that. So we could see if price breaks and can break through the TL. If the TL holds you get to b/e or cut out for a small loss. Also very valid plays here

Best
Mike
