First, what is going on with the forum. Has it been downgraded? Really irritating. Anyway, great information being shared by some pros, when I have more time I will post something of substance. Keep up the good work, I believe this is one of the best threads in the forum.

Next time I will share a chart.

Here is my conceptual framework and identification of major trend cycle which indicates what trading method you should adapt to get the best result in various market conditions.
hmmm.....if you dont mind, can i call it left(side side) vs right(right side)....i have a question:what if your situation on the left(trend reversal patterns, consolidatation...etc)...is situated in the middle of a major trend(right side)?

For trend reversal, i look for a 1,2,3 formation on the daily...followed by a breakout, retest, continuation.... that works for me.

Here is an example of daily trend cycles on Gold
thanks. i appreciate this. the thorough breakdown.

so, you use the indicator to filter trend reversal? any reason you do not use the CCI? i am not a big student of indicator myself...however, hanover wrote some solid stuff on it.

p.s. to be honest, i have nothing much to add, really. your depiction is soo crystal clear.

thanks,

respectfully,

skynet

Hi shahab8b,

Hope you don't mind me asking.

Price would often re-test the trendline but your SL is pretty tight/low. Is that because you don't expect price to retest the trendline after such a big move from Kiwi?
Hi,
It usually does. But as you mentioned the fall was far below the TL, I didn't expect that to be re-tested. The SL was chosen based on RRR and above fib 61, which I would have considered it a failed trade if it had been touched. Now that the price has dropped, the SL is moved much tighter.

You need to differentiate between a counter trend and a trend following trade. Your EU trade we a counter trend trade, nothing is wrong with that, but you need to get your setup right.

Hi skynet,

I think of that more like cycles that follow each others repeatedly. You can have a consolidation anywhere, mostly after you got your established trend, but that's not always the case. The point I wanted to make here was when you recognize your cycle, you should pick the right trading method. For instance, we all know trend following methods will kill you in a range/irregular market or a method solely based on S/R levels will fail when you have a fast trending market with vertical move. So the approach is to 1)identify the market condition (based on the trend cycles I suggested here) 2) to chose the right trade method. Hope it helps.

Hi there,
You may want to correct some parts, like the one you are talking about the MACD divergence which is not right. The divergence between the price and an oscillator/indicator by definition is when there is discordancy between the price and oscillator/indicator.

Divergence trading is my fav. I'm giving an example on UCHF: 1) identify div in the bigger TF (here daily) 2)trade on the smaller TF (here 4hr)

Hi shahab8b,

And the new stop is based on the previous 23.6 Fib level? Or did you just pick a (apprx) 20pip stop?

RRR = Reward Risk Ratio?

Ps sorry for the constant questions. Just trying to understand the logic of your stop loss management

Master shahab8b

These are the most significant charts that I've seen this year in terms of utilizing fibs.
Using fibs on lower TFs, I can find safe entry points in divergence tradings that in many cases are the counter-trend trading.

I'm very fortunate that I started following this thread!!
Thank you very much!

I usually choose my SL based on either Standard Deviation of the trading TF or above/below certain S/R levels.
