Jake:

Brilliant trading! The 91.20 target is a bit ambitious though, unless you can withstand the inevitable pull back and refuse to take profit early.:)
 
Tomorrow during the EU session will likely take a trade on the EUR/CHF and maybe the GBP/CHF as well, but I will post them on entry.

Happy Trading!!

Long USDCAD from 1.0845
Stop at 1.0710

1st target: 1.0980
2nd target: 1.1100

I have closed this for +135 pips, it may still get to 1.1100, but I just want to be flat before I go away for a few days.

Hi FX Jake, could you go into further detail as to how you make your trading decisions? I Was looking at your recent CAD trade, and I'm not sure where the 1.0774 level comes from. As far as I can see, this is a 23.6% Fib (1.11/1.0671). Is this true? If so, any particular reason you think a break of this level is important. From what I see, the pair has been in a downtrend for a while that has recently stalled between the 1.1130 and 1.0630 level, so this looks like you are picking the range. The 1.09 level is the 50% retracement from that same fib which is why you're concerned. Let me know if I am reading you correctly.

Thanks for sharing your trades, it is really very helpful for all of us trying to learn this art!

Cheers!
 
USDCAD trade

Hi FX jake,

I've been following your thread for a while now and appreciate the time and effort you give sharing your trades.


I'm new to technical FX trading and have never copied your trades until this one as it matched my setup exactly.
I drew my s/r levels by eye and looked for price action above the support line and then used the daily pin bar as added rationale to play long..

do you do the same thing?
i read earlier in the thread that you find levels 'as you see them' and then play candle/price action around them..
however i have been trying to reverse engineer your trades and previously thought it may have something to do with calculated pivots and the swings through them?

thanks for all your advice so far..:smart:

joy

Target 2 1.5410

EURGBP
Sell at 0.8723
Stop at 0.8830

Target 2 0.8540

AUDNZD
