{quote} LOL... I know what you meant. And it's Chris. Not that I mind albchr but Chris is just easier to remember and type....LOL Well, as I've posted many times, I remain bullish on GU for at least one more leg up and my "main" buying areas remain 6800/20 to 6750/80. Do you still have the fib chart from the exercise with HDA the other night? If not.... I do, As you can see, ALL 4 fib setups align quite nicely (within a few pips) at 6820. As a chartist, I can't ignore the support that represents. Can it break? Sure which is...
Good Morning Forex Factory Member and Guests:

It's Mother's Day Today, so make sure you make that call or do something special.

@albchr:

What you are describing is called Fibonacci Convergences.

The method I was describing with the fib exercise is one of many methods used to look at the forex. I only used that method because Carlicus uses fibs so as to help him see, how it can be used as an effective tool. As you've noticed, without any additional indicators, trendlines, RSI, ATR, EMA, SMA, BB (bolinger bands) etc etc etc, just the simple trend direction and fibs, the GBP/USD could be traded easily without the day to day, excitement about what is bearish, what is bullish, etc etc etc.

In position trading the overall long term position is what is traded and not the day to day swings of the market.

Now with that said, one can assume, the fib exercise I showed all of you was hindsight trading, but was it?

Lets go back to the PURPLE AB swing, which started at the GREEN C of the GREEN AB swing.

This chart is with the compliments of Carlicus:

(One Month and One Week Ago)


ON FRIDAY, APRIL 4, 2014 at 12:34am Eastern before the market moved,

I posted this to Ill-b-back:

Please see post http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...03#post7382903

Here is the actual post below for easy reading.

I want you to look at the CHART Ill-b-back posted back then and compare it with the chart Carlicus posted based on the exercise I did with him and you will see the BEFORE (that would be Ill-b-back's chart) and then the AFTER with Carlicus's Chart.

The Chart is posted below:

@Ill-b-back:

I smiled when I saw your chart


We are both seeing the very same thing.

When trading based on charts, you must always trade off of the most recent AB Swing.

Hence your Daily chart:

A being 1.64601
B being 1.66843

Which shows a 0.50 retrace with a D Extension of 1.68214

If you then go to the 1H chart, you will see the candle stick formation Tweezer Bottoms. Which represents a bullish buy signal - (for those traders who trade with, charts, fibs, candlestick formation and trend direction).

Hence PayTheLimit's response:

Quoting PayTheLimit
{quote} its also close to tweezer type configuration, if you subscribe to such theories...might need a breach of 6595 to confirm... {image}

The 10am Eastern GBP/USD Options Expiry for Friday, April 4, 2014 are as follows:

1.6570 - Hence the reason price action stopped yesterday, April 3, 2014 at 1.65702
1.6500

{quote} elbert, agreed, however GU LONGs been pain in the ass lately, most rallies get sold off, and we can't take out 6660 level. Still, previous week closed as bull engulfer, lets wait and see.

Even though Davit posted this chart also at the time, Davit, made a very profound statement.

Please see chart and statement below:

This is not directed to anyone specific but it baffles me how some will keep buying the Pound when Carney stated no IR hike until mid 2015 To me this is a new downtrend.Why fight it...I posted this simple image and it is still valid regards {image} {image}

http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...4&d=1396543416


Davit's Profound Statement

This is why, Davit will always have my respect

[quote=Davit;7382447]{quote} HDA is also long term bull. I remain a Bear.Everyone has their approach in the end our profits speak for themselves. I recently read Hedge Fund Wizards and there is a trader Jimmy Balodimas who makes more money selling in uptrend then his fellow traders buying. I thought great deal about this and based on Harmonics and price movement patterns one can make money fading trends.Its risky but doable. I worked a methodology that works for me.Never enter the market all at once but gradually.

You are not wrong and I am not right in the end results speak for themselves. Regards

That fib exercise the other night (in my humble view) was just a thing of beauty to go through and opened up a whole new area of understanding for me. Even IF...

@BONES:

I have never posted in FOREX FACTORY to try and prove that I am an amazing trader. I have posted in Forex Factory to share my knowledge and experience of trading the Forex. I spend US$10,000 for a professional forex education in a classroom setting many years ago, getting one and one mentorship along the way.

I am here only sharing my benefits from that education and the years of experience trading on the market and illustrating how one can trade the forex with a very simple chart and not all those indicators traders use and still make loads and loads of money. Nothing is wrong with indicators, I'm just illustrating another view point, not that you said anything about how I choose to trade.

I have now just illustrated, what happened in the market before it moved. NO HINDSIGHT TRADING. back then in APRIL

I have shown your personal bias to remain short trading the pound and I also displayed, that regardless of what was going on in the market from day to day, I held my position LONG, trading in the direction of the trend, knowing full well, that as the market moves it WAVES UP and it WAVES DOWN.

I would like for you to illustrate your trading plan for the pound, before the market opens today based on all the information you have posted over the weekend as to what you would do and then everyone can paper trade your plan to see if it works out.

So you or no one will actually be placing this trade, but we will all, make a mental note of where you would go short, your stop loss and your take profit.Because I know you are going to say, you are not trading the GBP/USD as this moment

If you are so confident and speak so boldly of what you see, then please display that confidence before the market moves and let us all paper trade your trading plan and see what happens.

That shouldn't be hard for you to do, because no money is at risk, just your knowledge and how you illustrate what you think.

Please not I highlighted the words think, hope and feel in all your posts.

Please read my post during the fib exercise with Carlicus


Quoting HDA
{quote} @Carlicus: Put in a very THICK horizontal line showing the 2009 HIGH 1.7043 Now what do we know. Every D extension has been HIT to the PIP on all the previous FIB colours as we are moving to the GREEN D Would you agree so far? I only trade FACTS - I don't not think, I do not guess I TRADE FACTS Would you agree with everything so far? Then I will tie it all in HDA OUT
So please Bones, since you only post what you think, hope and feel, please share your trading plan for the GBP/USD of what you think, hope and feel, before the market opens and we will all paper trade it and see what happens.


@albchr:

The rules for Trading Fib convergence as you pointed out from your observation at 1.6820 is how traders go about trying to project where the C of the RED AB swing mostly like will be.

This is why I told Carlicus to leave all the FIBS on the chart and to colour them so that a pattern will be easier to see and you spotted it.

The RULE is: you are to find convergences of any combination .382, .50, .618, .786, .86 retracements with any 1.27, 1.618 and 2.618 extensions in the direction of the trend.

Because Calicus fibs are upside down, and he wanted to sleep, I quickly wrapped up the exercise so I never went more in detail:


Quoting Carlicus
{quote} This is the updated chart. I guess your point is we should reach the 61.8% red retracement (1.67867 on my chart), and then continue to the red D or green D. I hope there is not much left, since you are in Jamaica, and I'm in Spain (it's 01:34 here) Thanks for the effort anyway, you didn't know it is late here {image}

So if Carlicus's fibs are right side up then what you would find is that the .50 of the RED AB fib and 1.618 of the Purple AB fib converges at 1.6820 and could possibly be the C for the RED AB swing to then head to the GREEN D extension

http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...9&d=1399591955

Lets See What Happens


I remain long GBP/USD to 1.7000
I remain long GBP/CAD to 1.9000

Your turn Bones and we will all be paper trading your call, so no money is at stake.

Just remember the book the FOUR AGREEMENTS -

You Must Never Have The Need To Be Accept - so you don't have to prove anything Bones, nor have I been trying to prove anything also. I have just been sharing my trading and my experience trading the forex, thats all.

I see huge number of fibs on the charts, generally my belief is that fibs are overrated, put any number instead, and you will see price react to it.
I personally prefer to replace fibs with quarters: 25 50 75 100 etc. makes for cleaner charts also.

Fibo-charts kinda remind me of that Gann-guy GODIM. The **** knows what his lines mean.
