closed the gbusd for 20 pips profit.

the usd is gaining on all other pairs, so it doesn't look like a good direction to trade with.

i'm really surprised how the usdjpy is still holding it's levels, trading in a tight range while all of the other usd pairs are all over the place.

i think once it breaks, the move will be very strong. i'm still short usdjpy, so think it should break downwards.

on another note, take a look at how price moves between support and resistance:

pure price action, no indicators.

the gbpusd is still following the support/resistance level beautifully - is anyone seeing this?

on another note, the usdjpy finally showing melt-down signs; i'm expecting it to have a sharp and quick drop once it breaks completely.

yes, I'm looking gbp/usd . I get 4 trades in a row without stoploss. Since I read this post, I'm starting to study and analyisng the channels , because before it I was using only fib's levels and pivot points, and with the channels included in my analisys , it's perfect when all this factors match one with others, the turning points are very previsible.

biz0101 , Have you a instant messenger? msn? I would like to talk with you and this strategie, change some ideas =)

good day for all forex traders present here.

don't have much time for instant messaging, but please feel free to post your questions here, i'm sure others will benefit also.

i've tried to use fibs in the past, but didn't find it useful.

i'm trying a long eurusd - a bit risky due to the recent strong move, but there's a good potential for a 300 pip move upward, with a risk of just about 150 pips, so it's a 1:2 risk to reward ratio.

take a look:

closed all positions for roughly 50 pips loss.

the usd is gaining grounds on all pairs, so i've decided to close all positions which were usd short, and wait for a new entry.

moving on..

trying a short on eurusd:

<a href='' target='_blank'><img src=''/></a>

the first channel has failed, and a secondary channel formed. the price has retraced to the previous support of the first channel which now acts as resistance (upper yellow point), so i expect it to go down (lower yellow point). if the price gets to the second yellow point, i think the support is just to weak to hold it and the price should continue even lower.

i'm ready to get my pips back and some more! 😄

i do not usually post exit setups, only entry setups, so here's what i'm looking at currently:

<a href='' target='_blank'><img src=''/></a>

sold at the red dot, i'm now looking for the price to hit the support of the channel for an exit.

although price has retraced almost back to the entry level, i'm not going to enter the short position until i see some usd weakness on the other majors.

usd is continuing to show weakness signs, however the usdjpy is reluctant to go any lower - will close it if the price reaches new highs.

the previous usdcad setup is valid since we've seen that usd has weakened, but i've missed the second entry point so haven't taken the trade. i think that next time i'll just enter the trade and will exit if it's not confirmed, since it's better to exit with a small loss than never take the trade and miss the opportunity.

excellent long opportunity in eurusd:

<a href='' target='_blank'><img src=''/></a>

i'm not waiting for the price to hit the support exactly since there was a gap in the weekend, so taking it into account, i've already entered the position. also, it's potentially a 200 pips trade, so i don't want to miss the entry because of 20 pips.

although usdjpy is hitting new highs, the usd is losing grounds on all pairs, so i'm expecting it to start dropping soon.

the usdcad by the way would have been an excellent trade, that's if i would have taken it 😄.

closed both positions, for a small profit. not sure why the usdjpy is climbing up, so will wait for a new entry.
