LOVE the Doji on the 4H!

I have also attached a document I attached previously for any new attendees to this thread. The top candle formations. An excellent read and tool to keep handy!

Damn, that would be a serious problem in my book. I truly do love IBFX, another good broker is Oanda, but their time frames are based off East coast times and not GMT. But their spreads are incredibly low

What's life without a few risks? might be a little pre-mature but I set a sell stop at 3 pips below the 200 on the 30M

Hi everybody new to the thread. Thanks for all the help 9er. literally started looking into all this about 2 hours ago. Not easy to get you head round at 6:40am GMT.

So looking at EURUSD right now for me looks like this on the edit: Daily

SO if X is that top point sitting on ~1.3300 Which according to my indis is fib level 223.68.. we are looking for B at 223.68 minus 61.8 which would be 161.8 which on my chart is approx 1.3215 (R3)? Any guidance would be great as im sure thats not right!

wtf, today my net connection was bad

I set sell stop based on first fractal at M5 and triggered. It's aggressive entry while price sitting at 200MA on M30. Yes What's life without a few risk

edit : Price bounce off 200MA on M5

There is trhead about control bar (CB). See this CB keeps price within its range, if price can't break and close above the CB, it's likely price will go down to lower CB, if can break this lower, we know what it's mean...

Jah - if I understand your question - A to B is still being formed (using the 1.3300 as X). If 1.33 is X then draw your fib from A to todays high as B (this is false because today's candle is still being formed). but IF today's high is B, then you can look at the 127 to 161 as your target area (which also corresponds to the lower trend line on the daily (at 127). A push to 161 would drop the RSI to below 40 and open up bearish BIAS.

Does this make sense?

keep in mind I am using this as an example with how to draw FIBS, the example I am giving here is false as I am using the current candle as the formation of my A to B leg

To make it MUCH easier on, just draw your FIB from X to A. B usually forms between 38.2 and 61.8 (strong trending markets usually retrace to the 38.2)

How is that?
