Have just missed similar set up on eurusd as was typing out these messages-shit-shows divergence on 1 hr/15 min and 5 min chart so could be a big one-would be up 30 pips already from entry level. EDIT Stop moved to break even on GBUSD-let's see if ...

Oversupply, where sellers dominate buyers after a previous run of buyers overwhelming sellers=Resistance. Demand is the opposite. And where does that tend to happen? At previous price levels, identify these on your hourly chart for intraday trading, ...

Here is a current example of when NOT to enter-even though it's tempting as hell. Price has reached a 50% Fib Level (ish), and it also looks like it's hitting a good resistance level, and it's also at the 50 price level. But there is no stoch ...

Finally, here's the 1 hour chart showing the big S/R level. You'll notice that the 5 min/15 min charts didn't clearly show it (well at the time I think the 15 min chart might have done but time has moved on, with more bars to show for it, since ...

EUR USD long trade taken this morning, look at vertical red line. Now this is divergence: 5 min chart at 8.45am (Alpari time) 15 min chart-lower price but rising stochs. Combined with an SR level and I'm in... 1 hour chart-no divergence but stochs ...

Finally-here it is on a 5 min chart. Again, it's not huge divergence, but I was confident enough, thanks to the 1 hour divergence, that it was going to turn. And it did. 3 price targets hit, currently at +75 pips for last quarter of trade. Ah screw ...

HI CableGuy, I'd recommend not trading from 10am- noon GMT (1pm in England) as traders start drifting away from their desks after the European session (they have to eat and go to the loo as well!), and the US traders will start coming online about ...

The CCI is -50 on the trade. The indicator that I use was kindly put on this thread somewhere. When the vertical bar shows white on the indicator, either above or below the 0 horizontal line for longs or shorts, then this is in actual fact showing ...

EURUSD short this afternoon — Did not breach the new 20 pip rule on my feed, retracement finder/cci was below 0, textbook trade, although every time I say that I get corrected. In comparison to the rest of the day, the trend was easy to find, ...

** The final reason here is solely my interpretation. I like W's & M's. When price forms a W or an M, I have seen price go in the opposite direction quite often. Agreed on that one Diamond, Ws and Ms, with some divergence on the right shoulder/Pivot ...
