{quote} When you say "dump right through"...Do you mean 175.70 region? It's possible, but what makes you so sure?
Consolidate, then through. Above 173 = bad. Below 173 = good. Why? Because of where GU supports are and UJ still expecting to fade here.

GJ runs into all mother of potential support circa 174.8/173.5 ish. But, hey, it's Friday

In a nutshell, under 173 confirms GJ is no longer potentially bullish and is in retreat. Holding above 174x/173 suggests more topside consolidation or just bullish.

DP = Decision Point - They are levels of support/resistance that Ray publishes weekly based on previous price action. A combination of Market Profiles and clever statistacal stuff goes into how he works them out.
They are important because price in GBP/JPY (and other currencies) will tend (not always but most of the time) to hop between these levels. When it stops for breath at one of the DPs thats when we decide whether its going up or down. How you decide where price is going is up to you. Ray sits there like a hawk and watches it move in the 1 minute scale and references the current price to previous daily closes. Othere use market bias; similiar to what you were saying in your initial posts here. Others use Elliott wave theory, Gartley patterns...the list goes on...I just guess half the time.
When the gaps between the DPs are big Ray will also publish 1/2 levels and sometimes 1/4 levels. These are alot weaker levels than full DPs so treat them with caution.
To see how effective they are have a look back to the posts in this thread for Monday. There you will find Rays template (.tpl file). Load it into MT4 and have a look at the chart in 15M and notice where price has gone over the previous week.

GU = GBP/USD - Currencies are often abbreviated to just the first two letters i.e. EU = EUR/USD, UA = USD/AUD. Some currencies also have nicknames i.e GBP/USD = Cable, USD/CAD = Loonie, GBP/JPY = Geppy...etc

A screenshot of M30 GJ with this weeks levels. DPs are green, 1/2 levels are grey.

DP 175.8 printed

Ahhh. I see..

I can now stop pulling my hair out from absolute confusion!

Thanks for the clarification.

Can I ask for some advice then:-

Looking at the charts I posted, I had my sell stop set in MT4 at 175.500 ish. This was to avoid any bounces, but looking at it I have missed a shed load of movement today.

Am I being to cautious? should I maybe have had it by the 176.500 mark?

How can I refine this? or is that the million dollar question?

Thanks,

T

Lets see if NY can serve us with 1/2 175.40/30 or if 175.80/70 remain support.

I didn't see any orders on your charts. What was your entry price, buy/sell, stop loss, target profit?

{quote} You did pretty well, I gotta admit that. You followed the plan, been patient, trailed your stop and took a break after taking profit. Well done.
And I would say I learned all this from you, now there are days between I take a trade, earlier I would at least do 3-4 trades in a day, it is slow but the most important part of trading as you said is PATIENCE and WAITING!

Looks like we got the retest...Now the real fun starts. Reversal or we going down down down. Just seemed fishy to get so low and not test this zone but we've finally made it.
We've almost retested the channel on GA will be eyeing for more long opportunities, my 1.886 long did me well see if we can respect the TL a 5th time.

I'm in favor of hitting 175.50/30 for gbp/jpy, 1.456100-ish for gbp/usd.

Must...resist...temptation to take profit.....

I still can't believe I just filled my minimum quota for the next 4 weeks in this week of trading alone.
