{quote} I'm afraid Bobi can leave us any way he wants . I think we could all say which baselines we would like, but it is unreasonable to expect him to calculate baselines for whatever we ask (and no-one should expect access to his company's proprietry data/calculations). He has said he will try and work on a calculator for us for setting SLs etc. I am not sure what that will include, but I don't expect it will include a baseline calculator for all instruments. From what I understand from the other thread he provided a calculator for EU which...
Just my opinion --- Bobi is actually doing us a favor by limiting us to just a few currency pairs. We can concentrate more on these 3 pairs and become very familiar with their movements which will help us in our entry and exit points. I know some traders who only trade one currency pair and are very successful. I don't even worry about the other 14 pairs I used to trade -- Much more relaxing and my account is just as good. Just some thoughts for your consumption. Tom

I agree 100%

the fact that bobi is helping us at all should be appreciated... we maybe never would have thought about markets from this kind of perspective...

He did also once say you only need to know one pair to be successful - with all the pairs he has given i am only following one and barely keeping up at times - time doesn't allow me to look. appreciate you guys posting tables and charts for us.. thanks

Fellow Traders


Can someone post the GU charts from these templates (T5_103F, T5_594). I am still new to this thread and learning how to setup, until then need some help.


Thank you.

{quote} JMSS - Thanks for the headsup. I had been busy doing other stuff and saw your input on G/U and A/U ---I entered long on both and got 52 pips on A/U and would have had 50 on G/U but did not enter a TP but I am up right now 20 pips. See how your input is so valuable? It really helps - thanks. Tom
I'm glad your successes.

Hi

If you look at the first chart in jmss59's post (below), you will see the GU T5_103 chart.

gbp-usd and aud-usd , have given buy signals {image} {image}
There are no baselines for T5_594 so no-one can post a chart.

Hollowhead, Thank you for reverting back.

I did follow the same chart wasn't sure, noticed around 20 minutes back, a sell trigger for GU on T5_103 chart with target at 1.65503 (26.3%). Correct me I am wrong.

Thank you.

No problem. What you see is not a valid trade I'm afraid. Price needs to have come from at least the 38.2% area in the upper phase (that's about 1.6666). Price should travel down, cross the 100% (1.6629) and then go 7 pips below the 61.8%.

If you look back at 24 January - you will see that is what it did.

EDIT: Here's a chart

Just had a weak third signal for a short T4F on GU. There is also a T5_103 short still in play. Go careful as Carney speaks soon (although he is likely to focus mainly on Scottish independence and the economic impact on the UK economy) and FOMC later today.

ooohhh - that support level is being stubborn - if it goes I hope it could drop quickly - but if it holds to FOMC a news spike could sent it either way. I've got a long T4F trade still live on AU - so they can fail and suffer DD.

Make sure your MM can cope with both situations.

oops sorry - deleted the post as the signal has not triggered.

It will be a valid trade if it breaks 1.35987. TP is 40 pips
