GBPJPY

Yep, they just ran that same Inflection line, with its (new, now) George Target, again. Five hours later.

Pair has been well worked.


All to do with future risk on/off, maybe
where are the fundamentalists or the war correspondents when you need them


This positional market behaviour has to move its' current structure at some point folks.
Don't be thinking they will "stay around" this same fire pit for ever (but they will remember it imho).
Above is 157.420 and below is 154.910, while they've pretty much done their ADR already today.

I'm flat on all my trades now & only watching. Trade safe.

Fascinating chat overnight, haven't even had a chance to get myself a cuppa yet. There is much talk of systems etc, but I think the most insightful comments are TT regarding perspective. BWilliam had his perspective on the GJ move, and just to add a third (I am not trading this BTW) I decided to see if any other perspectives could be added to reasons as to why price went to that level. It didn't take much work, weekly VWAP as an example ? So there is another 'why'. We all know if you ask 50 different traders, you will get 50 different answers.

Which actually leads me to believe this, nobody claims to have the 'answer' as to why Forex behaves as it does. Maybe because quite simply there isn't one. I don't believe in 'manipulation' per se as I have already said, nor do I believe there is a system. I believe the market is an ever-changing entity that facilitates the needs of its various participants. Algo's are switched on an off to manage risk, risk is created by large institutional order flow that we can't even see, risk changes by the day for large institutions, valuations are moved with current affairs, the possibilities are endless and what different participants need from the market at any given time will vary hugely. I cannot see how you can make a 'system' of that, although if I was that clever I wouldn't have wasted time doing that, I would have invented the bottomless pint of lager that doesn't kill you.

I cannot believe that in 2022 that if there was a 'secret' operation to the market that it wouldn't have been exposed, but I do believe retailers (myself included) spend too much time over-thinking it, and I have spent years doing just that. I know a guy who gave up laying tarmac roads 9 months ago to trade crypto (yes I know, but bear with me). He got interested in it 18 months ago and found something that worked for him, enough to give up his job. Now the bubble may burst for him, but I can tell you it pi**ed me off causing me to look at my whole approach to trading and it reminded me of the old barrow boys in the East End of London who frequently made great traders. You can simply over-think it.

And I still am, but I am trying not to. Having said that, it is important not to stop learning, just keep that learning in perspective that is relevant to you.

I use the simple lines every day that don't move. Like Kevin said "i think one would find that the worlds best day/swing traders use lines on their charts all in their own way"

I quite like the look of AUDCHF short from next week.
My analysis suggests the sun is shining so the Aussies will head south to the beach ....

And if I'm wrong.... move on. At least the BBQ was good...

Andy is right I do look at my excel sheet for a signal, but I prefer for my signals too show up at or around those lines. You can use/create any type of entry system you like and apply rounds number to it as a guide. Over the years of trading, I can say the most important thing to learn is money management. No matter your system if the money management is not solid you will go bust eventually. You can make your entry system as simple or complex as you like but don't leave out money management. I prefer simple.

Hi Pete, lets throw in more organisational regularity into that move. Lol. Cheers {image}

I liked the chart of yours better lol, in the above your "quoted" post
it had an imbedded meaning (well to me)


And more interesting as I now look at it again.

Interesting to me in the fact that you employed maths base
(and I have thanked you before, suggesting I also look down that road)


Referring your chart, where from my chart prior, showed me a Build Up Around Inflection around that small green ellipse before the major candle drop

see chart here

I wonder what would be the trading setup, which a trader could choose to use, and then sell into that point

(where the market sold off in a wild candle - and yes, war imminent could account for this, but how would a trader generally predict in advance, ie intent,
I would have to wait for some confirmation or, just go with the flow in the moment)

Hi Pete, base on these 4 pics, which is more compelling, sell at the top or buy from the bottom?

GJ sell.

Hi BW & Andy,

Sell, Agree.

BW asked which was more compelling to me a BUY or SELL based on the Weekly, Daily, 4-Hourly, Hourly.

BW’s 1 Day chart had me in “RANGING” where I could either buy or sell
and the 1 Hour was the same ‘RANGING” (between my two closest Inflections and a couple of George’s Targets at the edges.)


However, what did I eventually do, I guess, in the speed of it all.

Quoting TimeTells
{quote}
I entered late at the end of the spike looking after it hit George’s Target at 156.190
The trade was not taken immediately, I waited 7 x 1min bars for this purely discretionary trade and was closed TP at 10 pips after comms

I use my 1day Chart with some linear curves, and my 1hr with mostly horizontal target lines with some (VERY lightly coloured bands/envs - cheers pboy),
so in a combo of both timeframes I would have SOLD at the top and/or BOUGHT at the bottom, preferring a sell while watching not trading.
(as mentioned above my trade was actually a buy lol - but later, after a sustained selloff move towards & reaching BOTH a target & inflection area)


The big candle in question happened very quickly, so I rarely (any more) try to pick any reversal point, as I have no data, merely visuals to work with.

So I waited till the big candle “stopped” at a George Target which was a couple of pips above my low Inflection, slipped down the 1 min chart (my trade “entry” chart) and waited 7 x 1min candles and bought the new directional buy momentum for about 10 pips (the move went 30p but I know what I require and I close TP at my own smaller needs).


(THIS discussion also brings me to another ‘thought’ I have been mulling for quite a while, and I will try and express it in writing, many will say ‘wtf’ probably, but bear with me later).


ANDY, I would have imagined you would have chosen BW’s - Weekly Chart ?, you are the 1wk Chart king imvho.

Very cool thread so I thought I would make a quick vid for those that may be looking to trade some lines. Again, this just how I trade some lines with a few things learned over the years.

EDIT: I want to be clear to when I say Andy shares with me that doesn't mean he shares his edge(everyone has an edge). I mean he shares in the way I can bounce a idea off him and vice versa. I should also add that I have had the privilege of meeting Andy and his family for about 2 weeks and that takes sharing to a whole different level when you have the same interest and meet face to face.
