USDCHF Observation Price will be turning down soon and the safest target I can observe is .8870. A break of .8870 will have me looking toward .8847 for some additional profit. I am not in a trade yet but soon will be. Looking for some good old fashioned J16 H1 setups possibly London session for entry. Best of luck to all. K.I.S.S. {image}
USDCHF Short in progress

Alrighty then, I got an order fill while I slumbered this morning at 89.33 and now I have my stop at break even. I have another short order at .8943 if this trade fails. Protect yourself and have a great trading day everyone!

K.I.S.S.

{quote} not convinced so i'm on the sidelines but we had a weak closing bar(wick play) as price closed outside the channel. These like to fill, 9000 is a strong pivot might be the better area to watch. Had the euro closed the same way I would have bought the usd/chf or sold the euro through the "wick" Hope all is well Kiss Mike {image}
Do you trade these wickplays on a lower timeframe? I assume you would put a stop right below the bar. Just curious as to how you cut a profit out of those,with that small of a target/tp.I know you don't care much about RR but still.

Hi all, First of all, thanks to the authors of this post. It is really awesome! I have something you can call trader ADHD so I decided I have to trade on higher TF and learn to take better trades (A or A+ with confluence and no traffic). Can you please take look on below chart and let me know the areas I have spotted with brown rectangles have good potential for trade if I get clean PA? In each case I provided what confluence is there. I have also question on 7th of 4 we had what I think is clean PA with no traffic. If we get BUOB today will that...
Hey Vanilla

Yep you are right it's the hardest part learning to sit and wait for the best ones. Especially when the markets are moving at a snails pace like now. I suggest watchign more pairs and more markets to help with this. This will keep you busy as well as allow you to stay picky

As for your chart here is how I was watching the euro
http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...3&d=1400082195

As you can see your brown area lines up with the confluence area so it certainly is a good area to watch. One thing to note is that most PA within these areas will be trading into traffic since we are sideways both short term(box) and long term channel. same can be said for teh BEOB on the 7th. It doesn't mean you can trade it but traffic is close by do to the lack of space. If you haven't check out my video on traffic vs space it should help

Hope that helps

{quote} Matching low... Yes. Why is it a continuation trade. What's the criteria
Hey Chiba

Matching highs/lows can be used for a continuation since orderflow builds on the other side of these areas. This creates a "burst" of price. Although you can use 2 bar highs, or TBLs to find these I highly recommend looking for multiple bar highs and lows. This will give the market more time to build up that orderflow and give you more of a "pop". Another criteria is these highs/lows should be pretty much exact. They are great when you find them

Hey Stock

Like all PA that we speak about it can be applied to any timeframe. I tend not to go down past the 1hr with any of my trading these days. Stop does go below the bar(or a bit lower/higher depending if their is a level it should be just under/over like a normal PA). Target is nearly always the top/bottom of the wick(or nearly the top bottom). Your R:R is often very good with the "almost" pinbars. Sometimes you have a larger wick that coincidences with a larger body. But as with all PA setups I am always looking to reduce my stop which makes me R:R dynamic generally gives me good overall R:R in the long run.

Here is an example of a wick play from a live trade i did for the PF

Thank you very much Mike! I myself am a newbie, recently found this site (or rather this thread James 16)! To be honest I enjoyed half the indicators in the vastness of the internet searching for the magic strategy, and so nothing is not achieved (no progress). When I found this thread and read 5 pages, I was excited to read. True I do not have much time to sit at the computer, but I decided in part to print out and read at leisure. I think if it were not for this thread I would have 2-3 years would look magical strategy would seek the Grail.)))))

Support and resistance.

Some common sense, knowing how others trade.
