I was born near the end of October in the uk,....
interesting trivia.
i think i have to get reborn to get very cold-tolerant.

if price stays bullish..
i see 117 - 120 as the next trouble area
then 130 - 140 anytime during 1st half of 2011.

seriously, i think u did well.
it was a continuation trade, near the recent highs, but momentum & trend were in your favor.
be sure u are always aware of the surrounding trouble areas that can make price reverse on u.
as for TPs, u can open several positions to take advantage of a strong trend.

im not sure how to answer your question.
0.8850 is the only line i see in your chart (around current price). any other nearby trouble areas u have?

ooops, we might have a CTU agent here, i better shape up & stay serious

i wont be surprised to see 0.90 - 0.95 by year-end/new year.

Hello Danny,
u did not specify if u are talking about a bullish or bearish 2-day PB.
either way, they are heading into traffic & have not been triggered yet.

imho, it has a slightly bullish bias, but there are much more better setups out there.

Interesting trade.
touch trade?
do u regard the PPZ around 1.3900 RN as minor/insignificant, that's why u are only going to BE instead of taking at least partial profit there?
Thanks!

i think u just need to do PPZ plotting exercises.
review james16, mbqb11, jarroo charts, the free videos. also, this recent post by Pinbar.

start with Monthly chart, down to weekly, daily. Monthly PPZs are the most important, then weekly PPZs, then daily.
u can plot minor PPZs on H4 & below, but u can do that at a later stage.

if your current PPZs are 'close to each other', to me it means
-you plotted redundant lines (your PPZs are very near each other, pip-wise)
-u have too many lines

u have to refine your PPZ plotting skill so your chart wont look too cluttered.
S/R or PPZ plotting is mandatory, IMHO, for trading success... so a trader should acquire that skill as quickly as possible.
Hope this helps

based on that chart, it looks like fractals can help.

hello kwikwis,
IPBs are pretty advanced...
if u are new to James16 method, i highly suggest u trade PBs, BEOBs. they are easier to trade. IPBs operate slightly similar to (regular) PBs.
if u are new, know that im not discouraging u to trade IPBs, just telling u to walk the 'progression path', an advice which u'll appreciate sooner or later.

if u want this so badly, then as much as possible do it right from the onset.
read this thread, re-read posts, watch the free videos before u ask questions.
why ask questions later? because most likely, your questions have been asked many times, & the answers are gold glitters found in this thread.
it takes time & there is no shortcut.
Good luck!

Is that right?
depending on your perspective...
they are all pretty much the same
remember u can view a PB as a (2-bar formation) BEOB/BUOB or vice versa (a BEOB/BUOB, a 2-bar formation/setup is a 1-bar PB)

to be honest, that question is immaterial because everybody trades differently.
fact is, there is no statistic on how many pairs 'most members focus on'.
u should focus on how u trade, your comfort zone, & what YOU want to/do trade.

look back to these posts a month &/or a few days/weeks from now. it's a confidence booster! (i encourage others interested in learning/improving PPZ plotting to join in, or at least pay attention to/follow these posts)

How infectious this is with us all doing it together.
.....
im just a half-step up the ladder compared to u, my friend.... im not far away at all, experience-wise. we are all walking along the same stairs to heaven... to our goals

btw, Sir, did u notice the attendance ballooned 'down there' (traders viewing this thread) soon after this exercise got launched by u guys?
healthy weekend virus - the PinHanjeff0908 virus

we all should muster the needed zeal to study, to learn until we reach our goals. i'll never stop encouraging people to continue learning & asking questions..

i envision it as a thread with 'no/less talk, just/more charts', literally an eye/mind candy... but could be anything u expect&want to be.

uh oh, im not a good judge, i think.
i have trouble conveying my exact thoughts into words.
btw, we are 'playing' right? i'll reserve my judgement til next week/next month, so i'll let PA unfold unto your plotted PPZ lines.
this is my 'way' of helping, regardless if u realize it or not.


btw, personally, i try to use as little color on my chart as possible. i do this so the bars will stand out as opposed to getting drowned/obscured by the lines/indicators.
for PPZs i use different line styles &/or hues (example, black/gray/dim gray/dark slate gray....instead of different colors) to denote priority.
example, for monthly/weekly PPZs, i use black colored solid lines, for daily PPZs, i use the same black colored solid lines BUT the length is shorter or only encompasses a certain length (this differentiates a daily PPZ from a weekly/monthly PPZ).
for H4 & below, i use black dotted lines that are relatively shorter in length (higher TF PPZs has a greater influence on price, time-wise, thus the length is much longer than say a H1, M30 or H4).
just sharing it, maybe a few here might wanna try it.

a journey to 1.3900/1.4000 are 'buy dips'... as eur is strong IMHO.
the retracement to 1.3700 last week was very shallow IMHO. feels like an upside breakout, or at least a revisit above 1.41, is due soon.

..
i think u got the analogy similar only to a certain degree.

I guess u live in a 'dangerous' place too.
if i live in a 'dangerous' place, i either
-limit the frequency that i go out of my house
-go out at certain 'safe' times
-avoid going out at night or without a company
-avoid dangerous areas/spots completely
-carry a gun or know some self-defense
-move somewhere relatively safe
all these to limit the risk on my life.

i believe the natural & best progression is trading PBs/BUOBs/BEOBs well first, then the other PA setups (u choose between IBs, bar high/low breakouts, IPBs).
so to limit risk in this case, i try to crawl first before i attempt to hop/run... that is, trade PBs first before IPBs. same reason why ghous has a cautionary signature about IPBs.

Quote:
It doesnt matter how dangerous it is or how long it takes, we will learn it and we will get there
i think it matters a lot, specially the 'dangerous' part.
if we disregard the 'danger', we risk losing our account, or worst, the ability to trade at all.

interesting trade.
i just checked gbpjpy chart.
gbp has been strong today. gbpjpy displayed that strength too.

the H1 close was pretty strong. no good, quick reaction off that area.
i think price needs to make a strong move through 128.40-70 area.
so far price is stalling.
it's your call...manage it well,

hold trades as long as u are comfortable holding.
hold trades basing on S/R-related decisions.

it's very personal. so everybody trades differently.
u have to find your own way... by reading through here.

Look at that trade it dint closed well and i dint even waited to let it take out my stop loss which was just 18 pips below. I cut it and it blew up for some 130 pips now.
.
haha, we all experience that.
for gbpusd, dont worry, i got a good chunk of it for u

btw eurusd looks terrible now. i can now see possibility of move towards 1.3700 area.

we just keep learning, practicing, studying

possibly more wood chopping to go.

we wont get everything right... we just try to come up with possibilities/scenarios, then try to trade when the odds are with us.

i believe a gbp-related news earlier triggered the gbp strength (& eur weakness, via eurgbp) today.
worth noting is on eurgbp weekly, the ongoing upmove has had very little retracement, so current PA is not really surprising, IMHO.
remember, october is not yet over, so that monthly PPZ could still hold.
let's see

i missed it & had other trades open.
i rarely take trades off of Daily & above... if ever, i may have taken trades off of H4/below on eurgbp.

just wanna say that trends dont move in a straight line.
there are trends within trends.... price zigzagging up & down.

& he is not trying to target half of that huge trend... at least not yet.
he is only looking to take a chunk out of it... unless price progresses well in favor of his short & he still has some positions left open.

my minor trade got stopped out ,after about 15minutes, to the pip (1.3798), before it shot up to where it's now
might re-enter it if i get a good price.
it's probably time to visit 1.4000-1.4150 again(& onwards)

based on your question, i suggest u get good at PPZs plotting first.

ni hao,
your posts dont sound too good. they make me worry.

i highly suggest u study this thread. if u keep on following other people's trades/advices without knowing their trade rationale & trading&risk profile
& without being 'in sync' with them.... your trades will eventually disappoint u.
self-reliance is the best way forward.

u dont have to reply now. take this post as my way of looking after your trading future. get back to this post after a year & tell me what u think by then.
i believe u are Chinese, & if so, u should know the value of patience & long-term thinking.

--------------------
if we study & practice well, this is what most of us will eventually say

But I guess that comes with experience and a slightly different evaluation of BEOB/BUOB and PBs. Hope to be there soon.
yes, u could say they look pretty similar, but structurally they look a bit different.
both charts have hit their respective FTAs. (see the charts)

personally, im not that strict with plotting divergence, so i'll consider those ok.

still depends on how the monthly closes.

is this a buy stop entry? at 1.5879?

it's a bit unclear based simply on that chart.

-it instills & maintains discipline. (u have to go to school/work daily; cant play or watch tv too much, blablablah)
-among other things

somehow these (routine, imposed discipline, etc) are the things that are lacking or at least have been reduced in my life right now.... me being out of school or un-/never employed --me being my own boss (just trading) now.
so in my case, too much freedom has been detrimental a bit. (self-reliance, self-discipline, goals helps tremendously to help keep one on the right track --- these have helped)

lol, too much 'drama talk' from me before i

i took trades prior/after the PB formed & took in many tiny losses (very tight stops), just checking if price has momentum to go up.

seeing PA today& recently, i'll be looking for longs, if at all, much lower (1.34 - 1.37).

either scroll back (temporarily disable Auto-scroll feature) or adjust the settings at Tools > Options > Max Bars in Chart (under Charts tab)


***
btw, my charts dont have 'm' after the currency pair names (yours says 'GBPCHFm'; 'm' i think denotes Mini account)
try this.
press Ctrl + O , then under Servers tab, check the server u are using.
does it say "IBFX-MT4 Mini-1" or "Mini-2" etc?
im using 'IBFX-MT4-Demo1 Interbank FX, LLC' server.
see if using this makes a difference.

hmmm..
same server but different data feed content.

try the other alternatives i've mentioned
& another one:
open another demo account. this time, on the 'Open an Account' dialog box, choose 'Standard' as account type, instead of 'Minis'.

agree Sir.
though i never trade audnzd, i have a PPZ around 1.2800-1.3000, which i believe i plotted last year.
this area has been influential since March1985 (FXPro monthly)

i think there's a fair chance price will reach your FTA (your blue box, 1.2900).
if 1.3000 holds (turns into resistance) &price deteriorates further, i think it's possible for price to revisit 1.2300 - 1.2700 area.
having said that, until 1.2000 convincingly breaks, IMHO this pair is bullish.. & if so, i think we'll see 1.3000 as support next year.

yes there is space.

but i believe jarroo's response (about Space in his above post) encompasses all his observations for that chart, not just about the space per se.
either that or his 'space requirement' is much more strict, when he talked of 'space'.

u must be a very rich guy with a lot of time & loves solving problems.
why do i say that?

consider your equations:
woman = time x Money
woman = Problems

since u love women
women = woman x 10000 (infinity)
& mattfx = (loves) women
therefore, mattfx = (time x money) (problems) (infinity)

correct?

possible answer:
beautiful women = US Federal reserve x Helicopter Ben

Hey Sagad,
1. importance is trader-dependent. what u can do is monitor 2 or more brokers.
2. many/most use 5pm New york close as the Daily close

Allright I'll try to do the same. jeez 60 pairs.. didn't even know there were 60.
Hey Carnegie,
1 of my first self-help books was authored by a 'Carnegie'.

stuff look daunting only during the first few weeks/months/years (trader-dependent)...
as much as possible, try to instill self-discipline & patience as much as u can, as early as u can.... the reward after a few years will be tremendous.

glad to have another teen around, makes me feel much younger lol
Keep reading & posting Sir!

the trick is to concentrate on trading well (picking good setups, being patient/disciplined, managing trades well, etc) than making money.

this explains the saying which goes like 'focus on trading well & the money will just come'

hey Adilius07,
it's almost impossible to search through the 'whole' FF... very time-consuming.
but if u really have, u should've found what u were looking for.

try the one used here.
most likely the MACD used there & found elsewhere in FF are customizable. u just have to tweak the MACD parameters (set some parameters to 'invisible' or 'black') so u will only come up with the 2-colored histogram u desire.

is there a "Font color" parameter there? or any parameter that is colored 'Silver'?
if so, change the color to none/black.
try it out.
