Wish I wouldn't of backed out of that eu trade. Oh well no worries I did learn ( thanks to you mike )not to exit atrade without clear confirmation. Thankyou sir! Would entering at the low of the previous breakout candle been a good entry as well ?

Look at the size of the previous bearish bar compared to that PB.
It could be a pit bull but, I would pass on it because of the previous bar.
Unless it matches it in size by the close.
You don't want to take PA that has not closed unless, you have another story going.

Notice I have a sell limit at the 1.53150 area as, I am looking at this is a breakout of the weekly consolidation

Mike hi!

I am complicating about EURUSD - can't choose where to locate an enter point?

In one hand we have 1.3340 - as closing before gap, in other hand - 1.3316, this level was also good treated in a past.
Would you explain me your point of view, I would be very appreciated.

P.S. I remember as James was saying in the very first pages of the thread - enter is bit lower/higher of the low/high , but , I saw your chart on GBPUSD you located your SL under low of a previous pin bar, right? Could you please explain this...
great job guys

I see a bunch of you looked to play the continuation bars on the USD pairs. Again I must say remember that if you can't trade a BEOB at a swing high learning continuations should be put off. But you nailed it nick

I personally took the usd/dkk as I believe the levels were more well defined and confluence better. But of course it's literally the same thing so I knew both would work out together or not work

Here was my usd/dkk chart

well done for you guys


As for my gbp/usd stop loss. The intiial stop was above the BEOB and then I moved it down above the neutral bar after price continued in my favor

On the other hand if it explode, we'll finish the week above LCS that we had. And support will prove itself again. And this pintrade would be A+ Very intrtresting situation. We need to wait a day end.

I played this BUEB from GBP JPY daily and I lost it.
I don't know if it was bad luck or if I shouldn't have take it.
What do you think?
Hey Str8

Be careful here this buob is in heavy traffic(see my video called traffic vs space). This leaves very little room to move. So there isn't really any confluence here but it's easy to get excited because we see a strong uptrend(this happens to new traders a lot I see).

I'd recommend zooming your chart out a bit or it skews a lot of this great information


Hope that helps
Mike

My S/L hit at least for a bit of profit. I should of put the S/L on top of the TL I would of have been safe and my TP would of hit. I learned a bit from this trade. I used a BEOB for continuation and I could of have had a low risk. Next time.

I watch Mike's approach and try to move my SL logically. I'm still in. Do not rush.

Alright, first 100 pages of this thread read, and keeping up with this side as well now. Just finished Prings book on price action and I see he referenced Magees price action book a lot(which I just so happened to get a day before Prings book showed up). I will read Magees book then re-read Prings to make sure I have a good textbook understanding of Price Action. While I am doing that I will read the pages 101-200 or so and once I finish the second read I think it will be time to dive into the PF.

With that, a few questions if I may.

Hey Kwik

Welcome to the thread glad to have you

I like to look at things in this way

We have all types of individual concepts to learn. From patterns(larger to smaller) from bars themselves, to s/r, to confluence, and the list goes on and on. By themselves these concepts are powerful and can be at times enough(ex a big old pinbar with nothing else). But more often the true power is combining the above. That's the concept of confluence or story. Building the pieces together and making them into something stronger.

But again I always say each situation is unique so their are times when you can have one thing and that's enough for a trade and times when you can have many things but still not good enough for a trade. I always like to tell people to learn the individual concepts and slowly you can start to put all the pieces together into a workable method.

There is no such thing as volume in FX. That is because FX is not a centralized market place so these numbers can no exist like they do in a centralized market. Now some people use it. I don't find any use for it. From a spot FX broker like oanda these numbers are either tick data(ie every time price goes up or down they count it as a "volume" or they are the individual brokers volume which is so negligible to the huge market that is Spot FX). Futures has volume data(since futures is centralized) but in terms of the real FX market it makes up a very very small amount. Again I would say if you find it to add value then by all means. For most it will not from my experience.

Hope this helps
Mike

And if, your aunt had the spherical things, she would be your uncle.
The weight was staked against that small PB, at least for the short term.
Closed out half and moved to BE.
