It's valid on all time frames technically I guess.. But clearest on the daily. Thats definitely a big part of having a fairly tight SL ..

I just saw some really great Fib levels on this HP and a pretty good R/R .. Fundamentally .. It's got a lot of room to breath since it is a pattern that consists of 2 months of data.. So I'm not too worried about the news..

It's all technical on this one for me.
Fall down 7 times, Stand up 8.

I trade Harmonic patterns as well. Key is to be in the trade at the right time.That requires looking at fundamental aspect as well.
I try to approach trading from holistic way not just technical and not just fundamentals.
Consider this
Price movers and shakers base their decisions 40% on fundamentals and only 16% on technical.Banks,Hedge funds are the movers.
So key is not to be too dogmatic that one avoids news specially red box ones.
Anyway green pips

Good trade Mr pipcenturion. Very nice.

The BOC reports today can spark some nice moves. I am looking at GBP/CAD LONG range. That Month chart is sporting a Bullish Engulfing. This is for a Long Term Position , of course.

Good day to you.

Thanks a million FxMaximus. I suggest that you be careful with going long on GBP pairs. I think EUR pairs are safer to play longs than GBP.
Enjoy your trading day.

Yip - going for it. Adding as I go. But it could go on for weeks. Do not let me influence your decisions by me holding... I'm risking less than 1% here.

All the best

Look at the attached chart - going back 3.5 years. Look at the purple/pink levels. Each and every one got covered. Maybe not in the same month, but covered. So - currently, we have two open levels marked with the green lines. 1.07049 and 1.01860. Anything is possible - but in theory - both of them should be covered at some stage.

You are either going to get hurt terribly, or you could potentially score big. Until this fails..You need to decide which one first..

Good day to you, Malik

It can go either way, princess - but I have made my choice to long it back to 1.0479. See previous post with chart.

All the best to you

I thought your TP was 1.018...
In my opinion its premature price to go long now. I will at 1.020 level

Sir Davit,

Well done on your trades... I remember that you were slightly concerned at one time. This is good news.

I was in and out a few times already. I was banking on 1.7049 first. From there, it would have been easier trading down to 1.018x. But we received a curve ball. So we now have both of these open. so I am not 100% sure now. But I fired up another set of charts to look at interim position. This brought up the retrace trade idea. I'm going for 1.0479. Period.

Will then see.:nerd:

All the best
