took a few small shorts on the gbp @ 1.5225...st target is 1.4926 area ( maybe more, larger target still 1.43xx). i will add more if we get near 1.5250... and close above 1.5260... atm it looks like a decent r/r... for 300 pips r more

very solid trade, that 1.526 looks very solid (again)

gator,

I have a question for you. Two sentences - which one is true and why?

1.) TA works, because if many people act on the same pattern, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

2.) TA can never work, because if many people act on the same pattern, any kind of edge is instantly lost.

Taken on their own, each sentence makes perfect sense to me, but together they mystify me. Whatīs your take?

edit: for the sake of the argument letīs say this is about retail chartism only, no quant-stuff.

2876 broke.. so a entry at 2813ish could be a long with agreement and a pullback,, still a chop zone 2777.5/2876 plus a = distance above 2876 (100 pips).. 2909 is a ypp.
the eu current top is half way to 3009 min target (no shorts for me until).. many times we pull back to 2810, but with that flag. we may not pullback.
if we are going to get the indicated gbp bear and the eu bull... the eg long has X 2 potential $$$$....

the eg is already indicating higher... on its own merits... the arrow is a target.. but a -300 on the gu, along with current eu levels to 3009 is +80 more pips.. so that's about 380 pips, converted into eg pips. makes that arrow short of what the others indicate. so the arrow looks conservative.

I find it weird when I have like a weird, creepy feeling a price might be changing directions but I can't prove it. In any case, the price finally crossed a trendline and surpassed a resistance level. Now, we'll see if the Euro forms new lower highs. This could possibly confirm a change in direction, or simply mark a large retracement.

Ha, the last time USD/JPY took off like a rocket, it made a very tight consolidation phase (we've just seen that happen again) then the price finally started making larger and larger retracements. I have no idea how markets will react to the US data coming out in the morning but we have a weekend coming up so I'm being cautious. I can't wait until next week.

my little brain can only hold so much. so i just trade what i see as happening more times then not. it works more then it doesn't. with central bank news it decreases. many times in a BS move the mofu will stop a new/old trend trying to form in its tracks. Sunday we did not close the month below 2777.5.. but we still were bearish (below 2909).. just less strong bearish. the bulls have a test at 2974.5 ... the target above it at 3009 may not happen (it does happen most times).. or it may just be a 26 pip wick and close below 2974.5.. i dont know... central bank interference does not show up on a chart till after the fact.

thought you might like to see how that retrace all worked out in the end (see chart) So the M5 ABC did become wA on the larger TF - this also allowed me to reset the targets. The correction did end between 23% & 50% and also at my revised target zone {image}
Thanks for the chart. Which means wC is completed I suppose? Are we considered on a new TS - TE?

that why i dont know if 2810 will happen like norm... another phenomenon is we made a lower low. (indicating lower) then we broke 2876... then went -50% to the current high.. sometimes on news spikes, this is all you get. it resumes to the target before news. anyway that one was 27008 with the mid at the low 2744... opposite of the 27008 is 2964.8... the mid of it at 2920.8... its acting as support for the flag..

Yes agreed. this boj move has screwed the eur/jpy charts big time and it even screwed 20% of my account yesterday. damm i was doing so well till wednesday until the tsunami named kurodasan came.


what do you think of aud/usd? it was behaving nicely till an insane 50 pip rally came overnight in us session
