Gbp/chf

Here's my setup on the GBP/CHF...

5M TF Price has been away from the 800 SMA for more than 2 standard deviations.

A candle close abobe the TL will signal a buy for me. TP, the 800 SMA 100 pips above ( and just above R3. Remeber what I said about G/C and R3, S3 ).

Support so far today is at S2, I have a feeling that we will see S3 before R3 though.

Hello MysticForex just wanted to say thanks to you for sharing your knowledge and bringing some fresh ideas to the table. I enjoy reading your insightful posts especially the gbp/chf as I've pretty much moved away from the euro and more into gbp/chf & gbp/usd.

 

Thanks and I hope to read more observations and strategies from your posts.

This setup has historically been a very nice producer. It's called a "Squeeze Box".

GBP/CHF has been range bound for some time in the current area.

I would like to see a breakout, to the upside, a CLOSE above the red dashed line on 30M TF.

For targets we have missed Daily and Weekly pivots all over the place. My short term target would be this week's Weekly Pivot @14675... Then last week's Missed Weekly Pivot @ 14950.

 

PS: We hit R3 Today!

This is the GBP/CHF. A cross know for long times of consolidation , followed by times of extreme volatility.

I have it zoomed way out in order to get as much time as possible displayed. Looking closely, you will see Orange dashes, and blue dashes. The Orange are the Weekly Pivot Points, and the Blue are the Daily Pivot points. We are going to start with the Weekly Pivots,

The Daily Pivots ( Blue ) will be covered at a later date.

We have managed to display 73 weeks of data here. Of 73 weeks, only twice has price not

hit the WP, ( Weekly Pivot ) , indicated by the arrows. That's a pretty high percentage, over 90% ( if I recall, the last time someone I know ran the nubers it was 92.7 % ).

 

In the following posts, we will talk about how this knowledge can be used to our benefit.

 

 

Here's the Chart:

The weekly Pivots are usually hit early in the week. This weeks has already been hit.

For the next 4 weeks I will plot the WP on Sun Evening when the Market opens (EST).

If price opens on, or within 30 pips of the pivot, there is no trade.

 

If price is more then 50 pips from the WP, I will place an entry order toward the WP from 30 pips out. If price moves away from the WP, I will change the entry oder to 50 pips out, once price is100 or more pips away.

 

TP will always be the WP, S/L will always be 30 pips.

 

 

After 4 weeks you should be getting the idea of it and we will start looking for ways to use the Daily Pivots.

Sorry for the delay in posting, I was delayed getting home from a weekend trip.

 

 

GBP/CHF opened within 50 pips of the Weekly Pivot, so we would not have entered a position. It immediately went to Sunday's Daily Pivot, then down to Mon's Daily Pivot, Then up and thru the Weekly Pivot, which is @14927.

For the rest of the week we will watch the Daily Pivot, with the exception of Friday which is NFP.

Generally, a Pivot is valid for 3 time periods. So, a Dailey Pivot is good for 3 days, and a Weekly Pivot is good for 3 weeks.

 

Last week's pivot was not hit and is still valid. Entry is the same as described in an earlier post.

We also have this's weeks pivot @15224. If they open I would treat these as 2 seperate trades.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
