and now we see the pattern forming on m15 tf giving us a potential AB so if the high price holds we could be at the start of wC headed down to the target zones. this would mean wA = 23% approx wB retrace back to 10% approx. upside danger is that the correction is done at 23% which represents the lower end of the correction target zone I mentioned for this one 23-50% So I have made a cheap entry around the monthly pivot SL is very tight because if price goes any higher we are not on wC so I am wrong no need to be in the trade. {image}
Thanks Dr Doom your notes made me understand alot. But looking at M5 will have lots of noise I reckon right? Well for wC, technically it won't be higher then TE right? You mentioned a retrace of 10% on wB. I reckon a noise of 5% is still allowed right but below the TE?

Nope, never dealt with yen pairs before but I'm starting demo practice on eurjpy. Seems like less work than eurusd atm. But didn't want to jump in without knowing what the hell I'm aiming for. Remember I've only been at this for about 3 years, coming from a rock bands background so nothing finance related whatsoever. Thankfully I have my mums brains. But you already know my background

welcome to lower TF noise....... that is why I trade Daily, hourly, and tick chart for final entry..... I only ever dip into other tfs to look at structures.


TE - yes so long as TE (and TS) holds we are in correction of that swing, and the price could go right back to TE and pull down again. This is where the art form comes in, knowing when the scenario looks higher probability of playing out in your favour than otherwise.

I was wrong on the last entry and lost 6 pips.

If you mean the value of 1 pip for Yen Cross depends on your base currency.

For Example:

You account currency is USD.

For USD/JPY rate @95.55

USD/JPY = 100/95.55 = 1.04 x $/pip.

So you gain the extra 0.04 per pip as compared to EUR/USD.

That is the only exception for JPY and USD as quote.

Thanks man Dr Doom. From your entry you mentioned PA is likely to test the high before continuing the downside move?

Hey Max, a question please if I may. How did you go about drawing the line TE-TS? My instinct would have told me the line would be more vertical, with TE at the low 119.19 and TS at the high 122.63. Your line changes the fib lines only slightly, but still, I'd like to understand better how to select these swing highs and lows. Are they fairly open to interpretation?

I'm really appreciating all your input here, it's absolutely priceless!!

well TS = Trend Start and the move was a upward BULL move so the start is the low and therefore TE at the high. That way when we talk about a 23% retrace of a 400 pip BULL move say we are saying the top 92 pips = 23%

I actually made a slight mistake with that one because I had been asked to look at the M5 chart I didn't pick up the proper low at 119.10 on the hourly but that really makes little difference in this case.

I normally use the hourly as the minimum TF for classifying a swing.


edit: I am aware that some prefer to draw fibs the other way around and when they say a 78% retrace they mean back to the 78% level of the increase which is really only a 22% retrace. but then what is a 100% retrace in that scenario = 0 pips so I prefer the standard method where 100% retrace = a complete reverse of the move.
