{quote} Hi Oble. My novice analysis included price in downtrend. Price closed below s/r .7050 area, retested and continued to trade below it. D1 PB (even though it had bullish close - prefer bearish close, but high rejection of s/r level wick) entry on retrace. Price looked to be at a supply area with more unfilled sell orders waiting than buy orders. General bearish control of market obvious. Yesterdays BEOVB looks good, but what's the RR, FTA, and how would you trade it? GB.
I waited for the BEOB and entered at the break below the BEOB, which I feel is a better confirmation but less pip potential than the pin bar. The pin bar didn't give me enough confidence initially because of the lack of space to the left. TP is at the previous low. I personally don't roll with a target RR. My current plan that I'm demoing is to enter and set my iSL based on the PA and location, but move SL to BE as soon as the trade moves 15~20 pips in my favour to protect capital (something I picked up from J16, sort of). I also take partial profit if it moves halfway to my initial target.

Nice! I'm also in the EUR/GBP based on the BEOB. Also had a buy order for the USD/JPY BUOB but cancelled it before it triggered as I decided to only roll with the EUR/GBP for today. I need to learn to trust my analysis more and let the edge play out, but I guess my confidence is nowhere nearly enough with only about a month into demo trading.

Hi Zamfir,
I like your strategie. Do you also take trades with less than Ratio 1:1? It seems that on EURGBP that Outside Bar is bigger than your distance to the FTA?
I following your strategie only since 2 weeks. I see from your posts that they are almost all winners. On a longer term what approximately is your Win / Loss ratio so I know about what to expect. Thanks Michel

{quote} Hi Zamfir, Thanks for your example chart as it is very helpful to find FTA in better way... Here I find FTA analysis in ranging market, from my understanding {image} Expect your input to make it better. Adhav
Adhavan ,still needs work. Not much room to first FTA. Even if first FTA is broken , you have a second one. See the daily on audcad , we are bullish after yday's cash rate announcements from RBA.

oble, no hurry in this business. I would suggest you trade on a small account instead of demo.

GBPZAR Daily, confluence ratchets up the scorecard for a possible trade, pins and OB's are fine but the right place is critical.

Completely agreed!! Been a long ride down. Looking for this box to break down and continue through weekly PPZ. Looking at weekly and daily box for PA. Great posts Zamfir and Mike! Enjoyed it!

Yeah I'm in no hurry. But I'm not sure if I'm in any state of opening a small account yet with so little experience.

I don't get this trade. The bearish trend is still going strong, and you have multiple bearish PA in the past few days (bearish PB, bearish IB, BEOB one after another) with no presence of any strong bullish close on the latest bar. The TP location also looks unreasonable with nothing to signal a strong reversal since it looks to me that even if price does reverse off the support of the recent swing low, it will likely run into trouble around the 0.66 area.

AUD/CHF H4 BEOVB. In on retrace to supply zone around .72000 area. Profit locked in. Manually trailing stop. Not much traffic below.

GBP/NZD H1 DBLHC. Price returns to the scene marked by arrow. Then takes off. BE.

Update: closed trade awhile ago at 2.3904 for 60 pips as PA was loitering with intent to go south your honour. And it has. Happy with that. Risk managed, capital protected, profit banked.

I reckon there's a few pips to be had on a rally Alphac, but if I look at the charts and ask myself who is in control, I'd have to say bears overwhelmingly at the moment. Monthly chart is at a support zone and has bounced up from here before, so may do again. There is also plenty of room for price to fall. If I was buying, I would proceed with caution. As you rightly say, wait for PA to show the way. Best wishes, GB.

NZD/USD Monthly.

I agree GB, trends never really bother me when taking trades, I don't look for reversals, in this 1000 pip drop since April 30 - 40 pip rises have happened over and over again, if the PA and confluence is there and all my other trade rules are met it's a goer, simple as. There is divergence now on Daily NZ and AUD, doesn't mean price will rise, but it's a significant stall/consolidation and to me these areas offer you the best opportunities to buy AND sell.

Cheers

Sounds like a plan friend. I had to have a little chuckle, (ok minor stroke) when I saw your short trade on E/A as I'm long around the same area. Looks like you would've banked some pips. Good job. I'm looking for a move up on the H1 and H4 P'bars. Looking for price to come down a bit more so I can get in at a cheaper price. Not too far though!

For example, looking at EJ daily it looks like a messy consolodation area that's not worth a second look, but there's gold in there, on the 1 hr there's a hugely important flip area, then you get an outside bar/pin right where you want it, there's even a bit of divergence.

I didn't even look at the 15 min, but there's an A1 perfect pin you could have also taken.

Yep indeed. The smaller time frames are a wealth of info.

Congrat's Anti. Against trend, but it worked. Price now at an S/R zone. Could look for short PA.

EUR/CAD D1 PB. Buy.
