Congratulation on that trademin!

Still expect the EURUSD and EURJPY to be in bearish mode for at least weeks ahead.
1.29 for EURUSD.

Very happy to see this forum still living throughout the years!
nice to hear from you Arrow!-thanks for the good wish for the forum.

Good wishes with your trades, (you're surely having a very nice ride down with EURJPY! )

Hi guys, beautiful setup on the cable this morning. Bounce off 21 EMA and MACD supporting a trend continuation pattern.

Hi Fuiyong, I have moved my SL to breakeven up at 1.5165 and am monitoring the trade as it is approaching the lows of 2/24. If i see a lot of resistance I will close around 1.5135 (the 1 hour 21EMA) and will re-enter short at another time. Target would be 1.5000 if there is a clean break of 2/24 low.

Hi,
Thanks for sharing. Before you adjusted the SL to breakeven, where was you SL when you first set up the trade?

I have traded for 2 years now and still struggling. So I am still trying from the people here. Hope to get your support.

Thanks once again.

No problem F, my original stop loss was 1.5265 and TP 1.5000. The cable has been respecting the 4HR 21EMA since February 12th so I figured it was a valid entry with a 1:1.65 Risk Reward.

Looking forward to AUDUSD for upward movement towards 21EMA and 89/200SMAs, it's currently on the bottom of ranging channel in the next few days. Went short on the AUDNZD with a nice double head pattern when price tested 289SMA as well as long on the EURCAD that may or may not do a TC before crossing MACD.

Hi guys, potential setup forming on the euro dollar. Be wary though as both Bernanke and Draghi will be speaking today. High volatility is expected as always.

Update. So 1.3130 has held so far which is roughly the 4H 21 EMA and also the 38.2 fibo level from the February 25th drop. Keep a lookout for a break of this level as it will bring upside to the 1.3180 level. If this 1.3130 resistance holds I expect it to turn to the downside and test the weekly lows once again.

SP500 capped at the .764 fibo retracement from the February 20th - 26th fall. Let's see what happens tomorrow with the index and the rest of the risk on assets.

Hi, can someone tell me if there is there a potential buy trade for GBPUSD? Is this what we call a continuous trend?

Although it's difficult to see, the price is now ranging in the 1.5200 and 1.50800, H1 has a possible down movement and it's looking like that on the M30 as well. The channel has not been broken and we have a good opportunity to catch up to 100 pips in down swing.

But the price has moved above the 21ma. Next target could be 89ma. If I read the chart correctly, going back to the recent past, the price moved above 21ma and touch 89ma before reversing down. Also 4hr and daily MACD is going up or continuous trend. Correct me if I am wrong. I am a young trader and eager to learn and become successful. Thank you all for your support.

Well, if the MACD on H4 is going to break the channel and maintain its momentum it's quite likely that it gradually transforms into upwards trend. I expect to see some signs by tomorrow night as it happened last Friday (see huge selloff candle on the 22nd?).

Hi all:

In your opinion, what time is good for trade?, I mean it may be the opening of London until the opening of New York or the time indicated that according to the analysts can enter the market.

Would greatly appreciate your opinion, I try to operate when the London market opens but I see that the market often starts earlier.

Have a good weekend.

If you look on page 1 of this thread there is a macd version V103 which prints on the macd most of the movements.

Such as RT, RB, and TC..

Don't know if you have seen this already, if not give a try to help you spot the patterns.
