Nice potential level on USD/CAD coming up with a WHCR & a swing point that price has previously, seriously been rejected at.

I am watching the USDCAD level as well. But I am a little cautios because we have been more than 9 time back at this area. What speaks for it is the clear sell off after ther last touch....

The channel looks like it could be a problem. It did not rally fast enough and create space.
Divergence is there though.

{quote} Ok, now I really know what you are doing. Will look into the possibilities. Actually, perhaps this GU entry will show me the Daily Close above and the entry you may take.
So far I am not too impressed with the way price has "stuck"at that LLS. Still some time to go for the daily to close so its still very unofficial at this stage.

I am in Gu. Damn slippage cost me 6 pips though. Anyone else realized MT4 now allows us to click the SL line and drag to the desired level? This level on GU also appears to be a weekly PPZ. {image} {image}
Hey Steve!

Could you tell me where did you put your TP?

Thanks,
Stephen

When trading these extreme points it is usually quiet hard to find a decent place for a stop because, like in the case of the GU, price hasn't been lower for quiet a while. I prefer to look at the ATR and see if price has "completed" its daily ATR. If so I am willing to use a tighter stop. On that GU trade I had a 30 pip SL. By now I have taking it to break-even and closed a tiny part of the trade. Not to wake up with empty pockets

still learning a bit but can you tell me why you took a buy there? Also why your target is where it is. Thanks!

Seems that it does not have the Bham effect we thought it may have.

I intended to close out two thirds of the trade but, it seems FXPRO will not allow it anymore, and for some reason it closed the whole trade.

Just as well really as, it does not seem to want to breakout.

I like your USD/CHF much better than the USD/CAD because of the momentum back to the level, creating more space.
Rather than, the stairway to heaven on UC where a short could very easily find support at the upper Chanel.

Well, the Weekly LCS was going to be where I would have taken partial profit and or moved to BE. Depending on the reaction.
As it turned out, there was no momentum so, best to take profit while we can.

Just discovered that my understanding of the Rounded Retest is not exactly as it should be.
Maybe Helius can confirm this.

It appears that for a RR to be valid there must be three prior swing points, that price breaks through and rounds off as it returns to the area.

Just thinking about what Ghous was saying about the way he is trading these days.
It does seem to really jump out at you when you start thinking about these areas.

Bet he was all over these former areas on GU.

In on Gu again. I finally feel good about the daily close. (Back within the former bar's range )

I'd overlooked this detail as well. Upon reviewing many of the charts Tom pasted in the fail better thread, indeed most of the rounded retests had 3 touches before the break and retest...and the retest should have some space after the breakthrough.

Yes, that GU did not take off as expected but we def saw some nice reaction and it keeps going

Regarding the RR there is no set rule of how many touches you need. you just want to have a strong level that has acted both as support & resistance before in the past. This ensures that you have strong level. Hope this helps!

I also took this H1 BUEOB on my live account but, did not like the sluggishness around the wlcs so, I took 42 pips and banked it.
Probably because of still being in the Asian session.

It may fly to the moon and that is ok as, there will always be another entry.
