There was some serious money to be made today with v-formations. Look at gbp/jpy that almost gave 600 pips. Usd/jpy gave 100something pips. Aud/usd almost 100something pips. Usd/cad almost 100 pips. Hope everyone saw those signals and made good ...

Interesting interpretation of the gbp/usd. But that is the beauty of the chart reading i suppose As you know i have read the charts totally different. Scenario 1: I see firstly a possible break of the upper channel. If it breaks and hold then we ...

Even though this is a riskier trade i still decided not to ignore the pin bar followed by v-formation. So let's see how this plays out. I will aim for take profit around 2.0585 and then 2.0598 and lastly 2.0620.

Even though i am not a big fan of trendlines (due to their subjectivity) we can see that the price has respected this trend line for now. So if the trendline hold then that would give us an excellent long oppertunity

Remember i told u if price went thru monthly pivot and candle closed under monthly pivot i would go short. So this is how my trade turned out. My 1st profit target got hit.

Right now we are testing the monthly pivot point. If 15 min candle closes under monthly pivot point then i would look to go short and target 2.0598-2.0585. If price bounches off monthly pivot and close above i would see it as good long oppertunity. ...

Ok so gbp/usd broke thru some serious resistance this week. And i am happy that the correction has taken place. I will continue to play the v-formations but i will also place one longer term trade. And my profit target on that trade would be the ...

Here was a classic example of V-formation combined with candlestick formation combined with Pivot Points. You would have done very well today if you knew where to enter and take profits. Lemme walk you thru it. First you had an oppertunity to go ...

yes ur formula is correct. I have daily pivot, weekly pivot and monthly pivot. Those are my big areas that i watch out for because once price breaks daily pivot it will go to weekly pivot and once weekly pivot is broken it will go to monthly pivot. ...

Sometimes it is just too tempting to let a pin bar go by without acting on it. You will come to realize i dont limit myself to only one way of trading. I love my candlestick formations. I like to play pin bars and inside bars. Also i love my fib ...

gbp/usd needs to close above 2.0585 for me to think about going long on this pair. Yesterday was very choppy with little direction.

I did more or less the exact same trade today. I was only looking for the 1st candlestick that did not make a higher high. Once that candlestick's low was broken i went short. No indicators jsut plain price action. Anyway best of luck trading.

In that case why dont you just draw a S/R line for the ranging market? And go long once resistance is broken or short once support is broken. I get the impression you guys are making something simple very complicated. In reality you are only trading ...

Ok i have just read thru the whole thread and here is my question: "Why dont you just get rid of all the Envelope and SMA indicators and only trade fibs, because as far as i can see that is what you trade anyway?"
