My NZ chart from earlier, the Kiwi checked the upper wedge, retraced back to the 50SMA, breakout above wedge and R1.

Looking on the higher timeframes, this could be the start of a little bull run. (Or large)

I will continue to watch for a nice entry..

EV, I'm finding the 15m TF a little erratic for now, mixed with the pivots it does give some confirmation. Do you think it will be cool if we post some T-Line trades along side our pivot trades?
I like the idea, but I still feel that Pivots are king on this thread. Suppose that we look for T-Line breakouts corresponding with a pivot? I see that you use all the MA's that Mr. Bigalow uses. Having experimented with with the T-Line, I'm happy just with the 8 and 50 MA's. What do you reckon?

PA retraced to DP and tested it. Bullish harami candle formed. Entry after PA broke R1. Not sure if exit was right, closed around +30

Im happy with using the MA's mate, the T-Line trade I posted I showed what the corresponding Pivot chart was telling us, as you can see... it was a great trade.

I think we all know the system, so a random chart uploaded shouldn't distract too much, as long as it doesn't confuse everyone?

Nice trade, mate. That was a lovely bullish harami, followed by a massive Marabozu candle.

Thank you, EV. It's really important for me to hear what you think.

Cold, I know you asked EV, but I think your target was spot on considering NZ GDT price index is flagged for release soon.

Basically, next line up (midpoint). Around 17 pips or so, I think, but seeing as price carried on to R2 before collapsing again, maybe it would have been worthwhile to stay in, with your finger on the "get out" trigger!!

One of my thoughts when opening a trade is how far is my SL? I want my TP to at least be the same as the SL to give me a 1:1 R:R. Considering your entry candle was so big, this indicates good volatility, so the target in my view was acceptable.

Ive asked this question before, sometimes aiming for the next level is good, but depending on the PA you might want to consider going for the next major Level and once price closes above the midpoint, move SL to BE.

haha, not trying to reinvent the wheel either... I know EV is an old hand at this but hopefully we can have some good discussion about it in future trades

Yes I had them too, I have a bad habit of calling them pins
