Certainly a good support area, no surprises that it stalled there

amusing that you will answer me this time... i like to ask about your abcd.. when and how do you confirm your D?.. you know you can't be too late on that and of course not to early.. so where is your entry point? does that little indi tell you your entry point or close of 1st opposite candle of hourly + tf..

thanks.

{quote} Be careful, it might be breaking out of the wedge, going south . {image}
What we're doing playing golf, lol..

ah the good old wedge.. it could have just as easily keep playing in the same range for couple more days and on top of it to even break away long. on Monday was supposed to break the wedge south, right!! a few people in here even trade that false break out.. .. so who the hell knows, all one can do it go with whats on the plate for now. There was wedge on your yesterdays eu trade too.. it did not drop till hurt some people and needed the clown talk to even make it drop bear.

I don't pay attention to patterns jenny, it's a break even game at best in a long run view.. but I highly appreciate your input.

I also normally try and play these patterns as close to S/R as possible. If the risk reward is not favorable I dont enter. Typically I place the stop Above/Below D + spread

  • May 9, 2014 6:02am May 9, 2014 6:02am
For Example $GBPJPY just started to POTENTIALLY confirm a Bullish ABCD Pattern. I wont enter until it is confirmed its breaking back up. (Side note I wont enter this trade on the 1hr chart because its friday) Point D could repaint lower if the patter extends. Thats why I wait

np..

so the indi provides a entry point by confirming a breakout.. which to me is not a significantly reliable, it certainly is not a solid confirmation of the end of the D run. On most of these fancy patterns I see no special reliability in real time.. but great in hindsight.
that gu short trade would not have been a winner if there was not draghi effect mix to it, IMHO.. most likely D would have been extended further.

anyways thanks for the reply.

well on this one would work greatly but its bcz this pair has not fully broken out of the recent 200 pips range just yet.. this abcd is inside the consolidation.. without the abcd is good enough to take it off the current bounce off 171.300 level. but if it breaks out of this level and your D forms is such situations I think is more reliable than taking it when is fully inside breakout trending zone, repaint is in store big time.. and all these patterns abcd crab bath butterfly cockroach, lol all are so called to ping point reversals.

Im just posting my thoughts buddy, you can disregard with them. I wont lose any sleep. Just trying to bring my view point to the group was all. I apologize.
This week I went 4 for 4 So I am pretty pleased. Sure are there going to be some false patterns? You bet! For the most part I find them pretty reliable but thats just my thoughts. Another reason I liked the GU regardless of draghi was the Weekly http://screencast.com/t/bSUVBzICd maybe not the best but regardless I deemed at 1:1 R/R at weekly resistance worth a shot. I am a student and always will be. Just trying to learn and share thoughts. Have a great weekend. I am off to Boothbay Harbor for some real R&R!!!

I know, I like my wedges, but I hate golf! It doesn't concern me too much when the corner of the wedge is a way off. Anyhow, wedge patterns are only red lights for me, never a reason to enter.

Yes it's a frustrating game this. I often get it wrong. I probably give back more pips than I bank. Somehow though, it works out profitable, so I'll keep plugging away .
