Last chart for the day, I will try getting a few up everyday. All with set ups that I see to be low risk.

USD/CAD Bullish hammer on H4, I saw no reason that ucad should of dropped as hard as it did today. This is 1 pair that loves to pull fakeouts. Low volatility and lots of movement.

Stop below the 50 ma and let her ride to 1.06

We will beat the markets and the crooks trying to take your pips!! trust me

First of many chart patterns I like to use and this is perfect. Bullish Flag Pennant in UJ Everyone and their uncle knows that UJ has been in a nice uptrend and recently it has stalled a bit. This caused a flag formation. 2 main rules of bull flag pennant 1. Price must respect and stay within the trend lines 2. There are 2 flag poles as seen in the chart... The second yellow line is the same height as the first, giving you your next target. Made a typo on chart, should be height, don't feel like fixing it haha. {image}

Nice chart. I basically have the same thing charted on my daily chart.

I'm sure most people understand how to follow trends, but something you might wanna touch on is higher highs and higher lows. Not only higher highs and higher lows bar wise, but higher highs and higher lows support and resistance wise in longer term trends.

Will do, Following trends is the easy part. It's the entry and exit points that matter.

Been subscribed at this thread is already a feedback . I like simple charts and simple long term strategies ( not scalping at 5 min.chart looking for 12 pips). I found them here so just go on with good work and ideas. It's rare to find traders to whom FA is even more important than TA. I say that FA is giving the direction, TA timing. Combining together could be powerful tool. About UJ - the triangle is a classic ascending one - a continuation pattern. So far UJ was in up trend, so there's the answer about future direction. If all goes by the book, of course, I hope Mr.Market wont make any unpleasant surprises. To resume: if you have any good ideas, just bring it on .

Thank you for the kind words Bikov! I love my FA its 99% of my trading and yes TA does help a bit with entry, but the candlesticks already tell you that, haha.

I am also a firm believer in the law of attraction. Been doing it for years and it feels like you're using voodoo sometimes



I'll keep bringing the goods!



I would also like to start posting eu/us session and Asian session outlooks/analysis/upcoming news etc..

I will just share this post here too Bob, i may be more of a TA person... but hope u guys do not mind.

A general view of where we're at now...

Aqua lines, the PA zone (layman term which i used is as, entry gate towards top/bottom range. In my perspective for range/trends, between ranges etc top and btm, there's a 'gate'... at this point we're at the 'gate'... silly it may seems in terms of such perspective but it works pretty well for me...

RSI returned to mean level neither o.bought/o.sold.

my take is as such as ADX +DI is just nice at the bottom touching that' line i've come with.... i sees more probability of going up.... till then lets see how the +/- DI plays around then..

I would never question you posting some TA, Ding. You seem to know it pretty well and that is of great help with this thread! Overnight was a bit of stop hunting I believe. usdjpy should rally pretty hard. The PMI later should be the trigger. If you notice my charts you see I only use RSI, I feel like that is the heartbeat of PA

USDJPY is respecting its 200 day ma very nicely... notice my stop right below it, when you put stops on it's always important to see where a MA is, I put it a few pips below incase of a spike below it.

Feds Bullard is speaking now. He is a voter on the FOMC. I will post if anything important is said.

Labor market has improved.
Small QE possible.
Unemployment is improving.


Pretty hawkish comments from Bullard, USD seems to like it.
