Forex Trading - December 2003

Hi Neil

I think GBP highlights this as i missed entry yesterday the first blue trendline has been tested and broken.

I would expect price to drift towards its trend line and i will wait until it does before i seek an entry,
unless a pattern i like the look of develops before then

Hi folks

A divergence in volume, can this be explained by the FED announcement.

It is most probable. The outcome ?? i personally dont concern myself with what may or may not happen
What it does tell me is that something is will happen.

It would be interesting to see if the pattern fails or completes from a TA view point bearing in mind the FA as a trigger

closed chf @ 1.2629
No technical reason other than to bank some money and go and have a long lunch

Hi anmolway

TA = Technical Analysis
FA = Fundamental Analysis

The E/$ hourly channel has been unreal. :D .but it seems almost inconceivable that a retracement wont come some time soon..

NB starting to know what you mean about not trying to guess the outcome, especially using lower indicators :eek:

anmolway: or can be used if you closed flat...ie

"I made absolutely sweet FA on last donkey of a trade" : :LOL:
 
5 Min Euro/Dollar - Mornings

Hi
Here is another chart of an early (for me) morning type trade from 7am or thereabouts. Doesn't always happen of course.

I would like to have enough confidence to try setting a long or short order above or below a chart price so that if activated it would initiate a trade.

Not sure if fxcm has a stop system that trails the price. I do know that Capital Spreads for example, does have a trailing stop but will have to find out if you can set resting long or short orders with this firm.

Hi neil

If you dont mind me adding to your BO analysis (great trading btw)

You can also reverse at your exit
Reason Double top formation - impending reversal
Entry short at pullback - your long exit as it breached previous swing low

There is also a congestion area with a slight decent to it giving two possible places to add. the congestion was only evident after the formation and at the time would have looked like a pullback if the prices were to continue south.

As it stands now the low of the day has broken support at 1.22 level
A further place to add to short below this

Hope this helps add tothe days trading analysis

Hi Neil

Where was your stop on the above eur/usd trade?

Darren

I will usually trail 20 points behind but note the double top after which I see price dropping and lower high/lower low plus my 34ema being approached or crossed, so I get out.

As newtron said - this point would be a good short ( from double top)

Sorry if this is a bit vague but I use a fixed stop which is then influenced by price formations, my moving average, trend lines etc.

Plus I suppose support and resistance are more important to me since I then have an idea of how much I can lose before I enter the trade
 
Following on with the eur example i think i would be out at 1.2220 looking for pullback to the s/r at 1.2220
Personally i am looking for a long atm with larger time frames as the trend is still up.
