Gartley pattern to short audnzd Short

Australian Dollar/New Zealand DollarFXCM

Description

Hello, traders. Three impulse in one direction separeted by corrections give us a trend. Trend remains active untill priceaction gives a sign of reversal. I picked up this Gartley to initiate my short position in anticipation of downtrend to continue. Stops are above X. Target is a retest of A-point. Good luck

The assessment was correct at the time it was made. Hindsight bias can now come into play quite imperceptibly. It matters not if this trade turns out to be a loss. Traders may lose individual 'battles' (some 50 or more percent of the time). I think our objective is to win the war!! (i.e. consistent profitability).

AUDNZD is pushing strongly upwards. Could this be enough to change the trend? It has been oversold for a while.

the sign of reversal is a nsh above the last impulse's initial point. Simply speaking, it is an impulse to the upside. So as long as we trade within the last impulse's range - the movement is considered to be a correction. The impulses on my chart are marked by red trend lines.

Here on the chart, the trade is ok until we have a new structure high above X. That's why I placed stops above that point)

Looks a bit dangerous to short it.
Alexander_Nikitin
the worse scenario is a loss. I'm not afraid of loos, so it doesn't look dangerous for me, mate)). I just follow my signals. If I don't try I will never find out if it turns to be a winner o loser).
