{quote} Hello Emmanuel, I like your methodology of looking at the higher time frames... something that is easy to overlook in the heat of trading the lower time frames. How did you arrive at the 110 target? Was it the previous WRB (Wide Range Bar) or the top Purple colored line? And is the top purple line a Monthly resistance line? And if so, how do you generate it? I have several indies but yours looks clean and simple. Also, in your chart you write: Here we see a Wide Rage Bar at the Historical MN price swing level. Which line (if there is one)...

Hi Darran,

The Purple colour lines are the Monthly Historical price swing levels levels which I explained in the pdf in post 37092.
110 pips is the range between the two most recent Monthly price swing and that is also 60% of the average weekly trading range which I use to set my target TP for 4H swing trades.

Note that the price had reversed and should easily hit around 210pips from the top of where it spike yesterday.

Thanks to MrAussie FX, you know what BRN and RN are. Also that James 16 thread is a great thread where I learned a lot of Price Action trading in FF.

regards,

EMMANUEL

You are inside of an established channel with HH and HLs.

Shorting here without confirmation would be risky.

Just trying to play the game.

Hi Emmanuel,

The image below shows what I would rather be looking for.

Like jmn5611, said above, divergence usually means going against an established trend, personally I'm not comfortable doing this without good PA to support it.

I would much rather get into a trade early after a pull back in an established trend and then enter with a Stop Order.

EURAUD week19 H1 9May.

Only decent intraday H1 setup I see so far. Consolidation after yesterday' drop, shallow retracement and a nice small Inside Bar, toppisch Asian session, and a small SL 30pips.
Quick move to BE.

Hi Srevepatt, Thank you for your input, the way you have explained your view and thoughts makes a lot of sense to me, a picture paints a thousand words as they say, l notice the information you have for Daily range and summary, can I ask do you work this manually or is it an indicator. all the best Tom.

you mean retrace back into previous week high...?

BRN 1.6900 may hold or maybe not.

breaks my heart this GU pair.

GBPUSD broke 100 SMA on the Hourly yesterday then did its 'last kiss' thing.

Will no doubt test the 200 SMA

Hi EMM and thank you for your continued support, what you teach is priceless, with regard to the EURAUD I did see the consolidation and shallow retrace and inside bar, but I backed away from entering because of the size of the pullback tail, where I have indicated, what gave you confidence to go short, as I saw it there was a high shadow bar followed by inside bar followed by a pullback shadow closing back inside the PAC, The trade you took was good but I had no cross on TDI, confused rookie, please help.

Took two trades yesterday and one today, I know I'm posting late but that's life. The reason I exited where I did on the NZD/USD trade was because it's getting very close to all time highs. {image} {image} {image}
The USD/CAD trade hit it's targets

The USD/CHF trade hit it's first TP and the reversed on me.

The three trades closed out for 399 pips, in total, which sounds impressive but that is equal to 2.11 R less than 1R per trade which isn't so impressive.

It's important to know what percentage of return those 399 pips are making to your bank and not just the pip count.

The R factor is something I need to work on but with the market as it is at the moment that's not so easy.

yup, the reaction at 200SMA is something traders will look closely at. That is also the Day 10EMA and BRN region, not forgetting the weekly open is just below.
if this week close below the weekly open, then we will have a bearish week candle. If this close above, means we have a bullish week candle for next week to trade with.

Dare say we will have to put up with all the 'false break' shenanigans below the 200 SMA as well

G/U did not behave accordingly. Lost some on £ crosses but made on G/U but -ve overall. I am looking to see if we get a bounce off the 10 ema inside the uptrend channel

Short was taken on G/Y when trendline was broken. As for A/U I took a short with small S/L of 16 pips. Hopefully the shaded area holds as resistence
