Tough day for the GBP, and the weakness on this particular pair has inched price action towards 2 potential Cypher formations.
More so than most of the other major pairs, it's important that you measure out your risk prior to setting your limit orders. For example, for the smaller cypher completion the "X" leg (which is where stops need to be beyond) are over 125pips away.
Enjoy traders!!

Hey akil, just have a little question. When you see something like this where there are 2 possible patterns, how do you decide which one you should trade ?
Thank you!

There are a few ways to handle it depending on where you're trading from in the world. But in general I believe that a bird in the hand is worth more than 2 in the bush. Meaning a completed pattern is always better than a potential.

Hi Akil, I believe your intent to participate is to gain more followers/business. For ppl like me who're not as knowledgeable on Harmonics, we would like to see some details on these charts.....e.g where's the TP, SL etc. Just honest and candid feedback. Hope to see more awesome stuff from you :-)

I understand what you mean and yes, one of the reasons I post on here is to gain followers. But, although I take part in a trading education business I also want to continue to provide content for those who are unable to afford what I offer. However from my experience, when I place targets and stops many traders will blindly enter trades just because I'm involved, or they think I'm involved. (Then get angry at me if I wasn't involved or if my stops and targets changed from the original post) As an educator, that goes against what i stand for as I never wanted to run a signal service. I believe in the long run it hurts more traders than it helps. So I understand where you're coming from, but I hope that you can understand my perspective as well.
Thank you!
