This member is the original thread starter. Week 23

It's time to get back to forex, I think. Anyone seeing this? 50% retrace with falling wedge and Monthly S1. Watching here for clues to see if support holds.

Re: Week 23

I have taken a short position looking for TP at 1.9716 if price makes its way down back to support at 50% fibs and holds ill take a longer term trade with a TP of 1.9988. But ill have to wait and see. (Think it will be a good R/R trade)

You should out of the short already. Are you looking for a long from the 50% right. That's what I'm looking also.

Thanks, yeah, it's been boring waiting for it to act normal again. I don't like historical areas too much, too many shifty nervous eyes.

We'll see how this go.

Re: Week 23

Today was a nice confluence on technicals and fundamentals. We were at technical support and the BofE minutes were very hawkish so it was one of those "can't miss" trades.

Re: Week 23

Just some thoughts, today makes the 3rd time trend was broken. with the pin bar forming im thinking a retest of the trend. If support holds and todays high is broken then a continuation upward should occur.These are my views, anyone else?

Hi Don, I dont know if you are following our "flip" aproach, but I see on your chart a lot of flips there that could have delivered very nice trades.... sounds like forex is very respectfull to S&R levels... cheers Walter.
