{quote} see the db march.. basically if oil does not go higher that db should hold. knowing we may be wrong, we limit our longs to the db. below that db is a db break. using 2967 1/4 (london) close to help with sentiment based on close side. a small setup has developed for higher as long as that march low held.. its a calculated risk.. not a sure thing. brent 56.xx norm could still screw me,, pulling the cad lower. brent has a valid 14.xx target. like i said its a calculated risk. at 1300 it was a 1 to 4 r/r/ at 2967 its better.. at 2857 r/r is...
Agreed. Short all the way down, but (although I am greedy) only going for small targets, in and out. Nervous holding shorts because old habits die hard for BOJ. Easy to get burnt, and will get extra cautious around 100. Thing is the closer it gets to those levels, the sharper the spikes, both ways.

Daily UJ looking to close flat on NY candle, closing UJ short, nice gain, have a good weekend all (time to run some numbers). Oh, I also took that uchf long, much upside, low downside (good call imo).

i hope your understanding, pulling the cad lower. means usd/cad would go higher. oil is priced in usd. when oil drops. the cad heavily weighted on oil and other commodities. cad weakens toward the usd as oil drops most of the time.
cad has nothing to do with boj

if oil drops and yen is still strengthening/ cad/jpy may be a better short verse uj..

Yup just checked oanda acct which closed at 97. I left my eu longs open for the wknd. Mostly just once again impressed with your ability to feel those levels across all tf. Recent action may or may not be a good example but reading older posts you describe the importance of getting the "personality" of the pair. I guess I'm trying to focus on that cuz I can see in real time how that advantage helps you with entries, exits, hold or fold decisions.

Gator or someone else

I have had a look at the weekly chart of GN and GA, it looks like inverted hammers on both. GN even has what looks like an inverted hammer on the monthly and quarterly.

The levels it is making these inverted hammers is also interesting. Do you have something there that is pointing to a reversal? I don't know what the trigger could be because GU looks very bearish and the incertainty of the brexit doesn't help things. So I guess this might not be the reversal pattern it looks like...

​GA on weekly not sure how strong that inverted hammer is, wick isn't big enough for me, (although subjective). 1.8509x is 1/4 from July 2014 swing to high, that same level was also a good level to go long for 1.90880... i don't usually trade GA but if you'd said this earlier id have been thanking you

Edyraper shorted a few pages back, don't have his levels not looked that much into it as i said i don't trade GA, he may reply for you

Also AUD influenced by copper, this may help... http://www.reuters.com/article/us-ch...-idUSKCN0X40EW

Yep, got you here. I am really unsure on where oil is going though, but looking for opportunities in all jpy crosses generally.

Thanks for the reply. GA and GN or somewhat correlated, the wick on GN is a lot bigger, next wick unemployement numbers again for Australia, that could be a trigger. Also looks like AN could also still fall a bit. But with oil on the rise again, difficult to see GA rising since AUD is also correlated with oil if I am correct. But it is the first green weekly candle in 8 weeks, so if it goes up, could be a 1000-pip move, same with GN is already a 5000-pip fall.

GA weekly chart 1 hourly chart 2 GCHF daily chart 3 UCHF Daily chart 4 If UC goes up (perhaps supported by Kens chart weekly on EU?) Aud weaker than GBP... (could support AU shorts) so pound long at 1/4? GA long? GU long if GU gets lower?? don't know if that made it any clearer Pharm0r... but yeah {image} {image} {image} {image}
Too complicated

Just remember this;

GBPUSD ÷ AUDUSD = GBPAUD
GBPAUD x AUDUSD = GBPUSD
GBPAUD ÷ GBPUSD = AUDUSD

You need to have good understanding of AUDUSD and GBPUSD to trade GBPAUD

Same goes to GBPCHF and EURCHF

yeah so if USD gains, AU down and GU down... if Aud weakens more than GBP GA up... CHF weakens UCFH+GCHF? i haven't actually taken the GA trade, i would have
taken it if i saw it earlier but​

Does what i wrote make sense to you or not? as in the charts?

Agree with Ken A, too complicated. You're trying to fit too many variables imo

but for the sake of it- what you are proposing is entering GA and GU @ 1/4 or 3/4 (depending on chart)? If so- where is your stop and tp?

and why

put on chart please
