Thumbs up Great Thread!

Thank you James for sharing your knowledge. I greatly appreciate it.
I noticed this setup earlier today on 4hr GBP\USB and made few pips.

Best regards,

Mark

That's because ellipse got bigger when I decreased the image from the original size and covered more bars.
I looked at a fifth last bar (high around 1.7791) and one before.

You're absolutely right, Habeeb. This is not a BEOVB and thanks for pointing it out.
I took the trade because of nonefarm data being released next day and was 'gambling' on GBP\USD to drift lower until that time.

have a great weekend and big pips next week

2. everything in the pf will require demo trading in my opinion to become good at them.

3. i see no reason why they could not be automated but there is some descretion in all of them.

4. there will absolutly be no live trading calls in the pf. the forum will be for teaching and educational purposes only. i dont want to go to jail or be fined by the authorities.

5. the ongoing commitment will be 99 bucks a month.

6. you can quit whenever you want, the whole purpose of the pf is to teach some really good and unusual stuff. i think most people would be better served to stick around longer than two months but you can print it and leave in 2 days if you want.

THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE PF IS TO HELP NOT TRY TO TAKE YOUR MONEY FOR NOTHING. ANYONE WHO SPENDS THE 99 BUCKS WILL SEE THIS IN ABOUT 2 SECONDS. thanks for your questions.
Hello James,

Thanks again for the great thread and upcoming pf.
I?m really looking forward to it.
Maybe I?m jumping ahead but I thought I?d ask anyway: are you guys considering payments via PayPal?

Hi eastmaels,
you can try right clicking anywhere on the thread and click on 'select all'
now go to edit and click on copy.
open ms word blank document, right click on it and select paste.
now you should be able to print everything with pictures.
You will have to edit it to make it look nice however.
to give you an idea what it looks like i'm attaching zipped word doc.

It's what Fiji termed as, "Productive laziness".. Nice huh?

But as for the moment, I think I'll just have to go with this manual copying to word if I want it on paper..
The only reason I'll be doing it because the information included in the thread is worth doing the effort.

Again, thanks for the input!

I agree, it would be nice to have a printable version of FF.

I trade gbp/chf together with yen crosses, especially gbp/jpy.
when gbp/chf is falling (or rising), it usually triggers my yen trades as well and last night we had a nice correction in carry trades...

Thanks cipher, but the credit mainly goes to the owner of this thread

To be absolutely honest, I was also observing gbp/jpy behavior very closely during cable break out yesterday. Cable shoot up 150+ pips, yet gbp/jpy only managed to gain some 60pips. That's very unusual; add gbp/chf PA to the mix and you have more pieces of a puzzle ....When bottom falls out of pound/yen, it usually pulls other yen crosses along, so why not short them all at the same time? MM still applies though


p.s. I have a friend, who only trades gbp/jpy and chf/jpy (mainly as a carry trade) and uses gpb/chf as a control chart. I was very fortunate to meet him.

I mainly use dailies and 4hr but will go down to 1hr for confirmation once I made a decision on trade direction ...

Here we have ret of price pivot, BAT signal and 50 fibo ret (not shown on this chart).
What else one needs?

a SL and good MM of course..

Happy trading to all.

Please don't forget that there's two conflicting setups - the BEOB and the PB.
You could also view the pin break as a move back to get sellers for the BEOB. Please be careful...I've conflicting setups for my wavecount as well, but not that I'm any good at that... :/
Like I posted above, if the s/r zones and retrace areas go this could well continue on down....EJ made a 1H bearish Pin altho that's a lower TF....

Just saying that GJ alone would already have moved out 80 from the .618 entry, so never hurts to secure the position
Waiting to see since both EURUSD and GBPUSD also made bullish 4h candles, even though USDCHF did not. (IB there)

Regards,

SeekingLight
You're right SL

I still prefer taking side that pays me daily interest though...
Hope banks think the same way.

I'm assuming EURUSD and USDCHF will do a similiar dance. Aiming for 1.27+ on USDCHF and < 1.2900 on EURUSD. Also 235.00 on GJ tops, weak target hit on that already.
Don't you just love it when TPs for your shorts become entries for your long trades and vice versa..?

Btw, not a great pin in my book, but at s/r like you said, so let's see how it goes...

Nice to see you're still around RaczekFX, always great to see your posts&learn from them

4 bars left before month end. I'm finding this formation very interesting .. .
If price closes where it is right now, we'll have monthly close with in 60pips for three consecutive months and a monthly IB. It's quite unusual for such volatile cross.

Bullish outside on weekly was a good confirmation for a long trade off j16 PP and that?s all I care about. Taking partial profit and moving rest to BE ++ allows to play 18 at a remote, quite location.
Happy trading Wiz

Because if you played the break of the weekly it wouldnt have gone very far, yet...I am here to learn, which often means asking questions, so if you post a setup, expect questions to follow (Actually, nobody ever asks questions about any setups I post so you never know I guess Im just a pain in the ass) In any case, good luck with your trade, Raz
Hi Raz,

I went long (trade daily and higher timeframe) on May 21 when price touched res/supp line going back to Dec. 2006. This is more aggressive way of trading instead of waiting for a confirmation of PA. When on weekly chart priced formed BUOB (2nd and 3rd bar from the right) it was a confirmation for me that trend will probably resume. Regardless of trend, I took half the profits when price hit resistance zone near 9870 and moved another half to BE +. hope this helps.

If I were to take partial profit, this 1.9900 are woulda been okay I guess(it's currently starting to endanger my 1.9892 s/r again..).
The whole 1.9860-1.9940 zone has been a decision point and I think we need to clear 1.9925-40 to get a push towards 1.9990 and above again.
I am currently looking to trail this (stops are equal or greater than break even) instead of taking profit as I am currently trying to let the market show me my exits more again..even though I've been cursing about those "move out, come back completely, give nothing" trades for the last 4 weeks...

Never know when the next burst might come, Kiwi and Aussie made me a bit hopeful, hopefully not wrongly so

I'm currently in "wait and see" mode.


Take care,

SeekingLight
Hello SL,
I hope you're doing well.
We're pretty much on the same page. I still have 50% of my initial position since 9720 (based on weekly s/r bounce). I'll be looking to close everything in 9950-9990 zone or trail it.

Cheers,

R

p.s. side note: just watching eur/cad action today. it looks, usd/cad correction is overdue even though it doesn't show any 'favorite' PA setups. It'd be nice to get in on another test of 1.0530/50

There was also nice, long entry point overnight... (..touch...if you're aggressive trader).
50fib confluence near 3270 (jan 12-apr 27), if you use it as another confirmation tool

I missed this cross due to action in jpy, but hope to get a second change on retrace to 1.0440/50 area. Summer isn't over yet but I'll be looking for CAD to weaken in the next few months as demand for oil goes down. A few longer term calls should perform nicely.. imho

the only problem with entering on it's break is that solid bub bar on weekly..
It's just a gut feeling, but we might see another attempt to break that high.
any thoughts?

Price's sliding down the old TL.
It is resting right now on 50fib and PP..

Those gap fills can be nice easy money with huge R:R

I believe we took same trades, Mike. When I said, I took long yen positions, that'd be short yen crosses (gbp/jpy, eur/jpy)
I took half off @ 248.50; I also saw 150, but watching DJ bleed decided to hold. Might add more at Tokyo open... or trail stop

It just not my trading style to short near recently broken, daily PP on the first try. I 'try' to let the market do the job and I just follow it. Just like with my G/J short on Sunday open.

I'm not sure about Tiki's setups, but I added to my shorts (yen crosses) at tokyo's open.
Reason being Dow losing over 200ps. Every time there is panic on DJ there is also some unwinding in carry trades. I also have small fiber and cable shorts, but those are pure speculative bets with tight stops.
Just my 2c and I might be wrong.

I did as planned. Very nice bounce..

Price tried to break that resistance (now support) level 3 times in the past, and this was the only reason why I didn't take that PB trade yesterday, but went long instead, right at the support. If it took 3 tries (since Jan 2007)to break it, I considered it to be a decent support level now.

p.s. I also also closed fiber and cable shorts but will be looking to reload a rifle on retracement

Thank you all guys you make me smile
Very nice mamutot.

I'm a bit more aggressive trader, so I added to my shorts when price retraced to PP, TL and 61 fib confluence. This is more risky and I don't recommend for new trades, but it might get you in a successful trade earlier.

Price came back to previous, broken support at around 244, and 50 fib from previous day high (just for visual confirmation) There was something else, which I'm not allowed to discuss on the public side, since it's reserved for private forum. For those of you thinking of going long here (as many of my trading buddies wants to do now) I'll post chart in the next message...

Congrats to an outstanding entry Raczekfx on goth GBPxx!




Catcher in the Y hehehehe (with Y as in Yen)

Thanks , It's been very loooong journey. GOD bless people like Jim, Dial, Fiji and PF.

I knew, you'd be wondering and that's why I posted here

I remember when 5pips against my trades used to scare me. What I do now is to take a look at all my rules, select my entries carefully, SET STOPS and go away for few hours. After all, I'm not scalping, so if I did my homework properly, I should be rewarded. If not that's what the stops are for...
This is what I did with fiber and cable a couple of days ago after initiating short positions. Few hours later Jacko called for fiber 'turning down' in his thread (which was a very nice confirmation for my positions BTW). Yesterday, I just added to my position during that spike higher to 1.3770 and 2.0560 and simply walked away...

I just wonder if it would be worthwhile buying some September mini dow, s&p september contracts or option calls. how about selling some yen contracts? This week was driven by panic selling and I'm sure there will be some quick correction on Mon or Tue...? But then again I'm no expert at all....

here's what I'm watching..

Two stopped out for large losses and now this third one losing.


ARGH
As long as your stop is above 1.6680 you might be ok. I would not bet on it. Keep in mind that 'fundamentally' speaking, there are more rate increases in the making for Euro....
Personally I see 1.70 coming unless there is panic on Wall Street and heavy carry trades unwinding..

These were the fastest 350ps delivered... in two weeks.

P.S. I was however stopped out for 80 earlier, right after fed rates announcement.
Stop should've been set lower as it's common for yen to hit new high/law and quickly reverse...

I am already beating myself up for having closed out my 2.03 addon last night due to PANIC and IGNORING my own stringent and strict trade plan. 1.9990 or bust! Well, that, or it hits one of my manually trailed stops. But go there it must I say!
(please don't trade based on what I say)
Very nice action on cable.. hope you did very well .
Yen is my favorite currency right now and It seems to be in sync with me for the last 2 months..

I need to set alerts delivered to my pda whenever you post in your journal on PF. Lot's of good set ups from you SL, but most of them get posted when I'm hibernating... Do you ever sleep?

Now, If today was friday and I saw that '??? ' pin bar, I'd say we're heading much lower
232-234?
but I'm no expert, so you can just ignore my thoughts.

I agree, if the lows blow out I got 232.50 in my chart marked blue ;p

Not necessarily in a straight line perhaps, but hey...500 pips a day np for GJ, right?
;p
right, there will always be the next one...
232 might happen sooner then people think. Statements like THIS get my attention. I big trouble brewing...

I'm probably going to start a journal with setups I see (kind of like yours) on PF side and limit my posting here.
It's more fun on the other side and ... 'more' room

Sorry Howard, can’t discuss here. It’s lagging anyways. Using simple S/R is much more profitable then MAs, imho.
Have a look at daily, 4hr and 1hr G/J charts and draw S/R lines. 4hr/1hr appear to be daytraders dream in the last 2 weeks with small stops and huge profits.

If today's turned out to be a black Friday (below 13k), I think, there will be strong bounce back next Mon/Tue. If Yen gaps higher on Sunday (234-235 area), I'd be a buyer. Market panic is good money making opportunity if you stay calm.

I think I just don't expect to make 200 up, >130 down just like that...more a mind problem than anything.

Waiting to see what happens at 1.07.
That would've been a nice entry SL... (on touch).

I took only a few days off away from world's madness to sail in the solitude of the northern hemisphere .... and the market hell broke loose ...
I can tell by recent volatility, many folks made money, but even more lost some fortunes. Unfortunately, I get that feeling we haven?t seen the end of it yet
I thought of keeping some of my longer term limit orders open but decided to cancel them all and enjoy the journey. This one could?ve paid for all my expenses? But who cares, even few days away from this world is priceless?.

And as for going long on yen crosses, sure, but I think we'll see quite a few large swings in days to come before dust settles, so choose the right PA before jumping in...

Agree on not having seen the end, but we WILL hear fanfares to that end.

Too bad about the orders, but heck, I do assume you're not pressed or in need of the "easy" money just yet, no?

Welcome back =)

Now to find out how long the chop back higher lasts...
No more easy money...
Everytime I think easy m, it's a sure loss!
I just think pips now.
Sailing is great. Since you're in Europe, you can try these guys one day for your next vacation idea.

well, there is no sure thing in this game, but I see a good resistance around 2.4080-2.41 (PP, 61fib, TL and something else)
If I were short, I would definitely be looking to exit on another price swing to 2.3845-2.39.

2.38 would be a good buying opportunity imho

There was a nice setup this morning (est) on pullback to hourly support after price touched 1.99. Buovb formed and price didn't look back.

Dailies rule
I would not recommend anyone going down to 4hr or especially 1hr until they're comfortable and profitable with daily setups. So if I throw a 4hr chart here sometimes, please don't treat it as a recommendation. Besides, I'm not good, nor very experienced trader, so this is only 'imho'...

I'm no match for wizzard's 650%/month return .. but 100-200ps/month seems a breeze now.
Looking forward to a day when a pip will be worth $100...

Peace. May God be with you.
Omsai,
Knife system is explained in the PF in Diallist Tutorials thread.
If you're not a member, you can search FF for vegas4hr or tunnel methods.
Knife is based somehow on vegas4hr system, but is fine tuned with filters and rules to avoid bad trades and pick only those with high probability of success.

That's the general idea. Also the basic definition of a trend. Think simple
not sure about ABC (it's been a while since my last english class), but I have a question..
Suppose I was short cable since yesterday and was looking for opportunities to take some profit (I could take some now ~2.0180). I was also thinking of taking some at 2.0060 and the rest around 1.9960/80. Does that make sense?

Next week rate announcement. what's a gonna be, .5 - it will be bad.
No rate cut? even worse, very tough job for the feds, but who cares.

Hi Rene,

This thread really pushed me to the next level a couple of years ago.

Would you mind to explain about the pino bar?

1. Is there any particular number of pips between the High/Low and Open/Close of the bar to qualify such bar as Pinochio ?
Mike provided you with a very good document on PBs. I may only add that for slow moving pairs e.g. eur/chf, I look for less pips in a nose then for more volitile like cable or gbp/chf. For example 30pips nose is good enough on eur/chf, but I'd like to see 60 and more on gbp/chf.

to break over of what bar before the pino bar ?
That's probably most conservative way of playing PBs. I am a bit more aggressive and tend to enter on PB close or retracement (50-61fib, like in post #6076 )

If it appeared where your 61 fib is (swing low) I'd love it, now I'm not so sure.... but it's testing support alright.

If there is run on parity, it should be followed by quick reversal, which may take this cross much higher (reversal?). There should be large profit taking once this cross gets closer to 1.00. I know it's much safer to trade the break of the PB and I would not recommend what I did to everyone. Let's wait and see...

As Mike already said, it's not the best setup if you take previous day's low into consideration, but it's a PB regardless...

positive daily bar is shaping up for loonie and eur/cad, as crude oil retraces from its high.
Could it be a prelude to lower oil prices...

Trade taken on 1hr, should be closed on 1hr timeframe as well.
One of the reasons for exit could be back to tunnel on vegas1hr, 50fib and TL confluence....
Someone could also spot PPZ and other goodies from PF... (not plotted on this chart) ..

Nah,not me... You know me better, I'm in and out for a quick 100-140 daily scalps...
Only last half or third P.gets trailed.

not daily but...
short yesterday after 1hr PB @ 2.0280
out yesterday at confluence mentioned here earlier @ 2.0140.
long after 4AM est (my favorite time to trigger long fiber and cable) @ 2.0130
out after housing news @ 2.0198.

these are short term scalps only, and don't reflect my long term view on cable.

happy trading Wiz.. glad you're doing well.

This is very good pair to practice PA. It's not as volatile as g/j or cable.

Cool, that 1h PB at the place I've been waiting for, time to show SL what's what!
... I thought you'd know me better by now SL .. and I didn't post those chf/gbp, g/j and other charts for fun....

I'm a 'touch' man.
e.g. 2.3810 was long TP and trigger for short at the same time (check the same chart in my journal for clues)..... oh I see now, there is also 1hr pb now..

all right, a quick look at u/j, e/j, g/j and back to a cellar... Ice wine is almost ready.

If you traded it off daily support you should still be in the trade HP..

Stay on daily folks, don't try to get rich quickly on small TF.

With an exception of few individuals ..., you will be much better off trading that daily time frame. I've been there for 12 years, but first 8 were very, very painful.. (I wish FF was there for me then.. )
Since Nov 2006, I had few months with over 1000ps scalping 4 and 1hr TF, but nothing makes me happier than 3-4 good trades a month worth 400ps.
That gives me enough time to enjoy my kids and life...!
Trade and be happy.
Cheers for now

Went long at 23420 yesterday on a break of the triangle. Woke up this morning to see price had taken a sharp 200 point fall and come within 2 pips of taking me out before forming a pin bar. 2 pips. I mean - seriously. 2 actual pips. That's the power of where I choose to place my PPZ lines. haha!

Then, price takes off and I go from a 200 point loss into a 55 point gain. I start to think this is going to really take off and then price takes another nosedive - falls a 150 points and actually goes 7 pips below my stop - my broker once again doesn't stop me out and I am now back in profit.

What does this mean?

a) I had a lucky escape twice. Price has given me two opportunities to get out. There may not be a third. Take the money.

b) Price is resilient. It wants to go higher and dips below the triangle breakout are met with buying. Hold my position.

c) Who cares? I've been hit my lightning.
I vote for C.

until price leaves purple zone, you can make a killing scalping it.
if it breaks to the upside, it should slow down around red dwarf...
Unless you really see dj shooting through 14k, I would not bet on red dwarf too much....

enjoy the weekend

Stay Lucky.
against main trend....? Well yes, but trend has to end one day and what's the better day than announcement out of china about their new 200bil fund...hint, hint....

..but jocking aside, It depends on your trading style and stomach for risk.
Actually, I'm in a trade already, since .8905 and no, I'm not trading break outs. I like to be in a trade before they happen or after they occur and price returns to support/resistance.., 50-61 is nice as well.

P.S. you can blame price move to .8806 on Seeking Light... He made that request in PF(his journal) yesterday around the same time... some wishes do come true..

this is just mho of course, but if cable is poised to jump higher, I don't see it happening before Friday's nonfarm. If I'm not mistaken BB, there was 4hr fozzy sell signal yesterday around the same price.
Does anyone see any long setups from here, other then PPZ bounce at 2.0367?

I just took an opportunity before tomorrow's rate news, approaching nonfarm and test of July's high........

This leads us to enter the market with our own thought beliefs and style of trading. Just as many people wouldn't trade against the trend, others frequently try to pick tops and bottoms.

I am constantly in awe of how you enter trades seemingly right at the point they turn ("the touch" as you call it) and yet still others need to see a rejection and be more conservative.

....


Wiz
Hi Wiz,

Yes, you're right about feelings and judgments; thank God, we're all unique and not clones...
How do you know I enter right at the turning points....,you're not lurking around my journal, are you....?
Let me tell you, It's just pure luck ... but I try to make it as live as possible...

Best,
R

continuation PB?
If yes then we should see g/j around 236.30 soon. I would cautiously look at going long there

So you can buy .01 Units (or .01 mini-lots), which would be $100 .
not sure about oanda, but mirco lot equals 1k or 10c/pip, mini equals 10k or $1 /pip move, 1lot = 100k or $10/pip. That's the case with fxsol...

The way I look at it:
Unless we can close above above 2.05, gravity might pull cable down. I see support around following price areas:
2.0350, 2.0230 and 2.0130.... then 2.0, 1.99, 1.97.....

I've set limit buy 'around' 1.6666...
If carry unwind tomorrow, price won't stop there, but there is always a chance of a good bounce off this confluence...

He starts with pinbars, it is absolut everything from this forum, really everything. He did not even change the name, no he calls it also pinbars.

And if we, also the NEWBES have mastered this pins then the great master will show us other price action entrys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like it when people don't have success in FX then they sell what they have found in a forum.

Seeking wenn es Dich interessiert sende ich es Dir.

I'm afraid you're talking about a person, whose last name starts with a letter S, second is A.
If that's correct, this person is most likely involved in a theft of a copyrighted material and publishing/selling it as his own system.

How well does this strategy work? What have been your experiences with trading gaps? Also it appears simple enough to trade with the current trend after the gap is filled but did you also trade the pairs while the gap is being filled, or is this too aggressive an approach? I traded this idea in my demo account last night with the gbp/jpy but found it kind of hard to determine where the top was going to be again before the move down. However, I did do fairly well overall with riding it up and then back down again now. This idea seems pretty easy or did I just get lucky here. More demoing is needed I guess. Thanks for any comments from anyone with experience trading gaps.
I did very well trading gaps in the past, if they coincided with ppz, tls, fib ret etc. It’s just another tool in my trading toolbox. Just keep in mind there is absolutely no magic to it. There is only one reason why TLs, fibs and gaps work.. They work because traders put ‘weight’ to it and have certain expectation regarding price behavior when it approaches those areas. Same thing applies to your 10, 50, 100, 200 or any other emas…. They only work because traders use them as an entry/exit points. Again, no magic here either.
As for GJ, I’m not sure; It’s already 300 ps away from the gap. I was in with good size before Friday’s close @ 235.29. I’m sort of aggressive trader and trade both ways with and against the trend, so if I find gj bouncing off good S/R , forming a PB or any other setup, I’ll go long to ‘meet/close’ the gap.

B.T.W. Last week was my best week ever in my entire trading career in terms of pips.
All the credit goes to the founder of this thread and the PF

This is actually pb by proxy with a left eye around .8815.
Why do I get a feeling, it's going to break down instead of up.....

The PB looked good... it even fits a discription MBQB11 used in his video of price swinging over and dangling a cherry ( or something like that )... I am too infulenced by what others say... ( even though I asked for opinions )

Time I take the trade or not on my own... this won't happen again... !!!

Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining... but starting to realize I am not such a bad trader... but I've got to listen to myself first !!!
My sincere apologies Ticki. I'll try not to make any comments based on what I see or think in this thread. They belong to my journal...
It was indeed very profitable pin.. Many, many more pips to you.

This is absolutely critical to believe in your trading abilities if you want to succeed. Take a note of what others are saying and do what you think is right....
I know, I was in your shoes few years ago, listening to analysts, traders, reading blogs and was only losing money.
One day, I woke up, and looking in the mirror I said out loud: I CAN DO IT...
Everything changed for better since that day.. I know that you CAN DO IT too... !
Best

In my opinion it's a little too late to jump on the boat and I think I wait for a small retrace which could happen if the pair gaps and moves down so that the gap closes.

Happy Trading,
Chris
From my limited experience I can tell you that:
Buovb work best when spotted and traded at the swing low.
Beovb work best when traded from swing high.

I looked around and haven't found many buovb that failed at the swing high, creeper, so I will watch audusd with interest. At the moment aussie enjoys high commodity prices. Watch out for any weakness in chinese stock market and/or demand for copper/gold falling....
If that happens, aussie should fall on its face ...quickly....(imho)

below is one example of failed buovb (you could also say it was a pb broken to the upside by bub....

Wouldn't be nice to get a pb or neutral bar on weekly....?
and then 84... and then 78..

100$ per barrel is simply not justified imho.. Well see in coming weeks..

Hi Raz,

You know my opinion about pathway for $$ in the coming days (won't say here, I wouldn't want to get Tiki upset again....lol)
Have a look at weekly bar forming.... It looks like early Christmas approaching...

You can start a winning process by replacing few words in your post... and start using that format from now on....
Start thinking as a winner (even if you're not just yet) and you'll become one.
Let your subconscious work for you. (At least, it helped me)
