Sold kiwi. Entry point: 0,8240, SL @ 0,8272. No TP yet - will update on Twitter. London range template has been used + a broken TL. Euro is going also down - might pull kiwi with it.

Hey guys.

Some intra-week range templates are possible. My favorite would be USD/CHF. Thursday today and there is still a chance for a pullback but we need to fill todays daily range moving north. In case of a pullback and a range template (IW #18.4) I don't think that we would see the 100% of AWR filled. On the list.

JPY: Double expresso for the preparation. Some adrenalin that is already paying off. We had the exhausted ranges and I needed some pips. If you have a safe SL place - go for it.

Why does this sh*t have to happen on Friday evening!? Closing all I have. 6 positions and 70 pips (GBP/JPY: -40; CAD/JPY: -10, AUD/JPY: -20) loss all together vs a 140 pips profit (GBP/USD: 130; EUR/JPY: 5; CHF/JPY: 5). Don't want to leave any 5 pip orders through the weekend. Calling it a day. Have a nice on guys!

Hello there. Remember this picture? Now the interesting thing is that we got the planned price action. Intra-week range template (IW #18,4) worked as charm. But! If the timing is not the one in the rules. I mean we would have to close the trade last Friday and that would be a shame, wouldn't it? Will revise the rules in near future I think. There is a possible comb there that could get the price to the planned TP1. I just don't think that it would be very vise to trade it as we have a support there at ~0,9380. But there are always other options. Let's wait and see how the price will do in near future.

Wish you all luck today and the upcoming week.

Back on cable. GBP/USD caught the pair using an intraday, London session range template (#18,1). Just a bit different approach to it - waited for a pullback to get a decent SL. As you can see I don't like risking by putting the SL just below the daily high/low points. I like the pullbacks that give me a chance to get a safer SL place with still a decent risk reward ratio. Initial Stop - 25 pips, also below the weekly low. Now we are sitting on a TL so I am moving my risk to b/e. Will monitor the situation with a risk free position. 30 pips floating.

A small H1 MACD debt payed @ 1,5887 left me without a trade. Cable stopped out at b/e.

Back on Cable once more with the intra-week range template. But still to early for joy. USDX has also got the same possible range template and and the weekly MM is still UP. Now I am playing both ways with two correlated pairs. A buy of cable and USD/CHF. One will be eliminated soon. Will try to make it myself - without being stopped out.

Good morning my dearest diary. Well now we have the situation quite clear. It costed me USD/CHF 1% though. But cable is already paying that off. We have Thursday today (tomorrow is the last day of the trading week) the USD index is going down (MMOTW is down at last) and GU has all the price moves pointing up. We do have some road blocks ahead. Actually cable is sitting on a s/r zone @ 1,5970 as we speak and another is waiting @ 1,5996. But hey - I am optimistic.

Another thing to mention - USD/CHF and EUR/USD - we might see the IW range templates there. The price action is good to go - we just need a pullback. It is Thursday though - might be a tough one. And you know what? A flashback of memories just filled my head. Didn't I say this a week ago? I did: http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...49#post6211549

I think that I am gonna put some pending orders here.

Still there on cable. We are now approaching a supportive zone. SL is already at +1. If the line would be broken - on a pullback would consider to go short with an ID range template.

The second TL zone worked as charm.

GBP/USD: weekly range has been filled in couple hours? On Friday evening? Christmas came way earlier this year!

Hey there. Enough with cable. Banking the 90 pips that were still floating on this one. Risk reward ratio: 1/2,8. The PA doesn't look sexy anymore. Will try to hunt something else.

GBP/USD: Just wanted to share an example of the London session range template (Igrok players call it simply #18,1). First of all - the PA is valid. After the daily open the pair went up (main move of the day - UP), then it went down, making a new daily low (MMOD is now down) and one more time UP (MMOD UP again). Also my entry time - just after London session open. It is not recommended to enter later than two hours after London open. And the reaction - we can see that it went up fast and without any doubts. Also a reasonable SL place (18 pips SL). It is necessary to as small SL as possible because our first TP for the template is 30 pips. So at least we can try to get 1/2 RR with the first TP. But I had 100, 200 pips profit starting with this small chart model.

As per my EUR/USD post: USDx trend line almost reached. Thought that it would be a bit earlier. Didn't see any EU sell signals yet. Will most likely leave it for tomorrow and the zone might slightly change as the one mentioned has already been penetrated. Also will see if we will get a clear bounce of the USDx trend line. There is still 1-2 pips till the exact price touch.

Situation is monitored.
