You're getting there.
Thank you thank you thank you master!
I just wanted to try a sell limit with a tight SL, which failed miserably. But I'm thinking re-entry using fibo on lower TF next week.
Taking the first portion of a loan.
Some Shorts SMI @ 6717
& set some POs Short @ 6800, @6900, @7000

EURAUD long? --- fib 50, S/R, divergence on daily

If this is valid, how can I make an entry?
(1) It's already late -- can enter any time.
(2) A break of UTL on 1h
(3) Draw a fibo on 1h and wait for a good timing
or
(4) something else?

Thank you very much!l

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

No idea what's that.

Either way, thank you for sharing.

I'd definitely like a long. Having said that, I'd like a lower high at the top of my channel (ard the purple box) - attached.

Let me know your thoughts.

GBPJPY – Weekly chart attached. This set up is pretty similar to the EURJPY commentary on the 28th Oct. Price is currently at the bottom of a short-term upward trendline/channel (red). I would like a good short entry if price breaks below and re-test the trendline – making this a classic support turn resistance trendline.
Just to note, I do have a slight concern for this pair. On the larger timeframe, price actually made a higher lower – as shown where the purple box is. Hence, I’ll take the trade (if valid) with precaution.

Just my two cents...
I would stay away from GY for a while unless I get a strong sign (like a divergence)... It is too congested -- I believe this is what Saxon calls no trade zone... (actually I'm watching the PA for long...)

I thought it was a good entry point, but now I see the PA heading down to much more significant points in GU as well as EU. I think I will wait until the PAs reach there.

Hi Forexgogo,

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, there was divergence (RSI 6) but the trade was during the double top around 2 Nov. You're absolutely right about the congestion zone, which is why I'll need PA to break below the zone/triangle before going short (red). If not, I would want a strong break above the triangle before going long (blue).

As always, price can go either way, so will wait for PA before taking the trade. If neither happens, there's always another pair to trade

Anyway, let me know your thoughts.

I don't take a position in GY now simply because I don't know which way it's going. Probably I will wait until it hits 125.00 and turns to north (the red line on your chart)

Standard Deviation of the trading TF?

No idea what's that.

Either way, thank you for sharing.
Standard Deviation (SD) is a measure of variability or in the case of price ,volatility. You need to adjust your SL and position size based on volatility of the market in order to have the same % of risk for every trade and at the same time not being stopped out for minor price fluctuation. MT4 has an indicator for SD which works just fine, go to> insert>indicator>trend>standard deviation. The number changes for each TF which makes sense as each TF has its own SD, and it can be used to calculate SL.
EU: long setup, wait for the PA confirmation though

Fair play. As they say, if unclear, stay away
