Best Thread learning to read price action with p/f charts

care with eurusd shorts
daily data shows the 2 trends since july 2012
it is in a range...but there is a bull trap/arrow which has confused alot of people that it is a negative chart...not as yet

STC.This was facebook on friday.we had the run up to the $70 res which was traded
as you can see...the opening hour.the price was really messy.when it gets like that you have to constantly move around box sizes and reversals.once we hit the 68.50 area which we had marked,price action was alot easier to read...in fact ..it was alot easier to read on a bar chart
data is 1 min/close plot 4 cents box size
when it comes down to messy price action the p/f charts get overcrowded

dax only had 2 tradeable trends this week
it did not recoil like the spx ..it went into a range
looks like it wants to test the downtrend

spot gold 30 min
was posted on another thread.This is a classic example of a failed signal
gold 30 min
there is a potential triple-top breakout against the trend

Now..as traders we must anticipate every move
So we have to insure if the pattern fails.these always turn out to be good trades
same box size and reversal but a few hours down the road and we can see that triple-top failed
we got a signal to go short

a closer look at that pattern when it failed
same box size
changed reversal to 2
and hilo plot...same time input
the chart is wider so we have gone in for a closer look
we can see the rs/purple and then we get the break of that consolidation
so..we are always looking for failed signals ..either to close trades or open new ones
