I'm finished for day (and the week now) on GBPJPY. Was pretty much business as usal with a few curve balls overcome hahaa (thank you market maker ). So to switch it around for my last chart for the week. GBPUSD. Mystery or Mechanics If a trader is not trading to a set & forget (ie enter trade & then leave it until an ultimate target is reached), then what else might be looked for & at along the way. 1. Market begins at Day Open and rotates (aggregates imho) till the pool favours the buying (for whom though...
I forgot to mention - now you talk of levels. I often trade the sp500 during UK time zone because it allows casual "grazing`" of points in a calm sea. To reinforce my point look at he 1:30pm UK time when the USA wakes up; chaos for a while before the dust settles and one waits for price to react at previously drawn levels. That black dashed line is simply the Asia low but is a great point to enter trades and put stops around. Nothing magical about the line - just something one notices often interacts with price. You still have to manage the trade.

Enjoy your week end people.

Pick one chart and go with that.

Your ADR looks wrong, it should be 148.5 pips for 28 day average, which happens also to be the approx. range of PDH 182.575 to PDL 181.044

Only 40 pips away from weekly average range of 310 pips.

Still 100+ pips from London Open to target.

Edit: Just saw price bounce to the pip on the PDL & 99% ADR

I think I have posted plenty of charts and my style of trading & instruments is well documented.

I have been using ADR for a very long time, so nice of you to notice.

I hope your attempt at sarcasm is not a reflection on your trading.

GBPUSD
Some days we trade on an express train,
racing from one end of the chart (countryside) to the other end.

Some days we trade on the old suburban rattler,
going along calmly (cheers turnip) on its way from station to station to station with stop offs at every other station.

So
Are we on express-train trading (doing 0 to 45 pips ),
or are we meandering across the countryside on the ol' rattler (snagging maybe 3 x 15 pips ).

Doesn’t matter imho.
As long as we are TP trading the train ride.
(Pic below of the end of day on the GU rattler yesterday).


GBPJPY
Friday was an express train ride from the Asia high racing from the top up at 182.500.

Right down to exactly at the Previous Days Low at 181.057 which hit the very
BOTTOM OF THAT MASSIVE intraday SPIKE hunt from the day before - (amazing, yeah, right on it lol )


I only joke about the mystery part folks lol, sorry
This IS the Market Mechanics, I believe, that I will see day after day.
Imho

Trade safe folks, trade well.
Remember the big players could (?) make some very fun moves (who knows), during the last two days of the month next week.
(Pic below of the friday GJ express train day)

Those are some wonderful pictures! Breathtaking views, those beautiful crisp days are something else. Do you live in Vancouver, if so ever get out to Whistler and Blackcomb? Destination I certainly want to go to soon for some winter snowboarding. Ucluelet and the whole Barkley Sound area looks amazing though, enjoy and have a refreshed return on Wednesday.

Hi HTG,,,,, Yes Vancouver suburb,,,if your into snowboarding you cant beat Whistler Blackcomb !!! One of the very top World resorts in the world...If not #1

..... I ski (just not lately tho) lol.. actually im headed to Whistler Weds (not skiing).. Snow on top of the island mtns...and snow on the Local Vancouver mtns as well.
Cypress, Grouse and Seymour,,,, Winters coming... Highly recommend Grouse mtn for night skiing/boarding... the view of Vancouver below at night as you
cruise the runs is spectacular !

Anyhooo.....a pic of night time skiing at Grouse with Vancouver below (google pics not mine)
And the nights or days when its low clouds in Vancouver and your above the clouds on Grouse... very cool experience...

Beautiful BC has it all.....( psst dont tell Mexico that ! )

Cheers

I find Asia plays differently to either London, and of course NY, in respect to volatility and to its' directional sort outs (ie asia must make a high AND a low, for setting up the brand new day) So not always as "much" available pipwise as the later sessions. I have formally built my day seekings at around 15p (net of comms, ie full profit in dollars) To do this I structured my own business management plan around my a/c size and fine tunedd that to my (always the same) trade lot size to facilitate all this. To give an idea for any wondering (maybe...

I do remember when the UK stopped changing the clocks back between 1968 -1971 as an experiment, remaining at GMT+1

As I remember, it was still dark in the mornings until 9am, going to school and with all the pollution, fog and poor brakes, there were many motor accidents.
