AUDJPY BEOB — This 4 hour BEOB on AUDJPY is looking great. It's at a swing high, it engulfs five or more preceding bars, it's on the 80.0 Big Round Number and it's also straddling daily trend-lines. I'm thinking a good short here...

Looks like there's a chance the daily may close as a pin. Obviously we're still 10 hours away (!) but if we see another 25 pips drop in that time it would be looking good. I've been burnt twice recently trying to short NZD/USD so we shall see how it ...

EURGBP — On my feed I'm seeing a nice BEOB. It's at a swing high, off a PPZ and that Fib so a further move south looks likely huh?

Hey Dale, Do you take your breaks in a direction based on "up-on-the-day" or do you take a break in either direction?

Are the blue vertical lines on the chart the initial profit target, and initial stop level (defined by taking initial profit as 1R and backwards applying that to give a stop level)?

I wonder if different times of the year are more profitable than others. Or do markets even have seasons with very clearly defined market conditions... It certainly seems that the period of volatility seen when the first cable snapshots were taken ...

I don't remember if Peter said anything about whether he changes his approach on NFP days. It seems wise to me to avoid this method on such days, as markets will naturally consolidate prior to the announcement, giving valid setups, but the ...

USD/JPY is looking ripe for a breakout, both on the 1H (2IB) and the 4H (consolidation)

Here's the EUR/CHF PA I played - and lost. Granted not the _best_ shaped pin and was biased by intervention rumours but not a bad play. This is a 2-day chart.

I have to admit I very rarely trade it, it's just a little too risky for my liking. It's a case of quick in and even quicker out! My spread is a not unreasonable 5.7 at the moment

Hey Geoff, It's good to see notes of caution so no need to apologise! There are a lot of newbie system hoppers who need these sorts of messages to bring them back to earth (if they would but take note). As for me, I have looked at the charts and am ...
