I would like to bring the following to everybody's attention - especially the recent Bulls.

Take a look at the GBP/USD Weekly chart and note that it has been stuck in a 1000 Pip Range for ALL of 2012. 1.63 - 1.53 (Support / Resistance)

So 1.53 is our obvious weekly Support and 1.63 is our obvious weekly Resistance. Now, take a look at the Daily candle for 12/19, notice that there was clear rejection (big sellers) as price rejected 1.63 and formed a Shooting Star / Doji. This is a bearish signal at a major resistance point which should have told everybody to put in a sell order.

So here we are about one month later and we can now all see that on the 1/16 Daily candle price broke and closed below the ascending TL which had been in effect since 7/12/2012. This was even more confirmation and should have been a definite confirmation for the cautious traders who didn't want to short on 12/19 after Price Action at major Resistance gave a sell signal.

So 1/16 Daily candle broke and confirmed TL so the cautious traders should have put in sell orders on 1/17 @ ROUGHLY 1.603 - 1.595. A day later you would already be up 100 pips. For those who shorted at the Shooting Star / Doji on 12/19 Daily candle would now be up roughly 400 pips on just one trade, this is not taking into consideration the people who scale in to winning positions.

CLEAR Sell signal on 12/19....a month later up 400 pips and almost half way through the 1000 Pip Range.

Ask yourselves, was there any real reason to be bullish in the past month on GBP/USD considering the fact that it has been stuck in a 1000 Pip Range for all of 2012 and was at the top of the range? All of the technical mumbo jumbo did not mean anything. Simple Price Action @ Support / Resistance (PASR) would have told you everything you needed to know about this particular trade.

So now that we are almost half way through the 1000 Pip Range what do you think would be the wise decision? Were you able to make more than 400 pips trading GBP/USD in the past month stress free if you were scalping the ups and downs?

Folks, let's not make trading more complicated then it should be - Price Action Support Resistance (PASR)

Oh yes there is. The best way to trade it is to place a pending SELL order below the neckline. Hope that helps.

I understand Sir Bones, I appreciate your help at least you made me see clearer. You know it feels better to trade what one sees so if you don't get it right you can try again Instead of following other traders point of view. We are all here to help each other as the world out there is a crazy place. No jobs, everything is falling apart & FX seems to be a safe haven if one learns what is needed to stay long in the game. I will keep learning & hopefully one day I will get there.

Flags, H&S reversal signals is not strong as it only adds to strengthen our point of view coupled with some other factors like PA, Candlestick formations & lots more. That long wick already told we were going south & all that was needed was patience. I'm not blind to whether Buying or Selling, I had this in my cards too. Enjoyed a couple of shorts too this month & I can't complain honestly. If one can break even with little or no profit then we take the effort put in as an investment for the future.

Knowledge is what I seek. Thanks Mr. Bones

P:S Do you know any RELIABLE materials that teaches patterns. I would like to learn.
