Had a similar trade, but think we were let down by fundementals due to the poor UK retail sales causing the spike down. I was banking on a good figure as the bulls looked strong at the 944 level.

Further down there may be confluence around the 15918 area on the daily. Though it's possibly already outside of the 78.6 on the Daily chart, but this wont confirm until next week and I'm not sure this method is used at this wider time frame.

Regards to all.
Did you take long in the confluence area you mentioned ?

Here are the rules for the Gartley Pattern. I will be working on a video that shows the dynamics of the pattern. Aggressive entries will be covered once I feel you have the basic pattern covered.

the crab i was waiting for....
long @ 1.5916, SL 1.5908, TP 1.5950
Potential bottom is 1.5904 in my opinion. Great otherwise.

Also, if it breaks it, go short. Nothing works like a failed pattern.

I don't understand how you decided these target points on trade one and three. Trade one target between the 50 and 61.8 , Trade two only to the 38.2 I thought target would have been the 61.8 ? Can you help me to see what you did please?

thanks for your view.
How did you find 1.5904?
for me 1.5910/1.5812 is strong support with really nice confluence.

Hi Kyurem,

Yes, entered at 15914, BE @15944 and TP @15964, placed SL @15900, it's a bit of a ride at the moment though still looks positive, not sure if it will hold during the NY open. I would have thought the support at 15907 would be tested before now but the bulls seem quite strong.

My only concern is if this may turn out to be an AB=CD on the longer term. IMO.

Hello Mr Pip, nice trade but how do you decide your entry point ( at which candle close)? i really like your strategies but i'm not sure about choosing the right candle for any trade entry.

thank you

1.5914 is TL (and pattern) bottom - 10 pips for safety. Nothing wrong with 1.5910, just thing like spikes, SL fishing, broker magic, etc., can rob you of good entry.

Sure. Unfortunately it didn't work, although I don't think this is over yet.

Trade one was agianst orderflow and was suppose to TP at the 61.8 but price shot up prior to the 61.8 to retest previous high. I manage my trades manually which means I open and close them without any presets. I only set stops and targets if I am not actively managing the trade.

I was already beyod my profit target an as price found resistance at the high I close the trade. Trade three I close for no other reason then I already had 142 pips between open positions and closed ones which far exceeded my daily goal. So I guess I broke my own rule but don't need to get greety. Hope this gives you the answers you were looking for.
