{quote} No worries. If using FreeFox's indicator, there is a switch in the inputs to make both sides equal or not. Set this to false. Sorry I can't recall the exact name of the switch it's at the bottom of the page. What this does then is it takes the Current Candle in question and applies your H values.... minus for the left and plus for the right. You should notice then that where price is extreme and then rejected, ie. a wick, it generates the TZ. If a bar (other than the central/focus bar) on either side, within h bars, pierces this range......
Nice posts, thanks Vlad. Btw, what is "Bob's your uncle" mean ?

Hahahaha... sorry... it's an Australian term, meaning "there you go!" It's just an affirmation that... it is what it is, just like if Bob (or whatever name) is your Uncle... then... there you go, he is your uncle.

Sorry... bad sense of humour!

it is ok mate, thanks. i know some thing new now .... And your prediction of EU going to 2900 is very sharp
I don't think my TP @2918 will be hit today. It will be going south. I sell NU now for more sure

Okay, just lost -8 pips on that move and it looks like we're gonna bottom out for New York's entry. 2887, 2877, 2866 are levels I'll be looking for. Not to mention new ones formed on the 15M which I've not mapped out yet.

It's actually quite interesting observing the EU thread. I don't want to appear to disparage as there are some great traders/posters in that thread.

I just want to highlight perhaps as a contracts to the chatter on that thread, how valuable this stuff has become... yes, there are people who will always join the discussion and need catch-up help... but the fact that we've got similar resonating views now based entirely on principles, not hard rules, is very satisfying.

We can disagree on approach or tactics, but we agree on principles and strategy which is infinitely more rewarding if it gives you a Eureka Moment.
As an example, this morning on the EU thread it was all shorts... then longs... then shorts... then longs... then shorts just now. But the meandering nature of the discussion just goes to show how mashed it is when a discussion is just an auction of thoughts without cohesive direction.... with the exception of a few select nuggets from excellent contributors.

Here however, everyone is contributing ... eg. Hepsibah's approach just now... like FX-Jay, Josh, Ephisi, Baillie, NorthTrader..as well as others too numerous to mention... And of course, just yesterday Eurusdd has provided more food for thought that I am still perculating on.

Just wanted to post my gratitude.

Cheers! That call is entirely FX-Jay's so he deserves credit. But the investigation and resulting approach.... THAT is the gold. I think you may see 2918... .next target is 2926 so... keep da eyes peeled!

VLADY1974 you are right. similar thoughts/principles. And Fx-jAY is like a alien who came to earth, watched our technology, said "hmmm" and then turned what he saw into a masterpiece.

hepsibah - trying to follow your logic have you got 12844 that needs revisiting ?

At the moment, there was a buy on the previous H1 bar as price closed above 1.28963. However, if price closes below 1.29767 at the end of the current hour (10min), then this will be invalidated as that would give a sell signal (this would be my first loss today but has to happen sometime).

If price closes above 1.28826 in 10min, this would give me a buy on H4. There may be something at 1.2844, not looking there at the moment.

In that case normally they retrace it a little and then took it more up .

Yes, the retrace then go. Better not to judge it as little, medium or large. It can take any form. Best to react to it, with our projections in mind.

This is fascinating.

H1 still looking for a HH above 1.28990. Does not want a H1 close below 1.28766 before target.

M30 now looking for a low below 1.28814. Does not want a M30 close above 1.28843 before target.

And Eurusdd tells us it needs to return to a level at 1.2857.

No wonder price is hesitant. News in 30min so may get some resolution then. Spike up then down maybe? Or maybe we don't get the HH. I am currently in long and short.
