Description

This pair is wedging out and there might be enough room to get 1:2RR before reaching the lower light blue TL.

Trade active

There is a triple touch on an ascending trend line that could make it a little harder for price to push down, let's see what happens.

Trade active

Perfect double bottom on 1H so reversing position. Seeing if 200ema holds on daily for a push higher. Slight consolidation in a wide range.

Trade closed manually

Out of the trade, odd volatility.

Trade active

Doing different style of trading for this odd positioning of this pair, will update when it's complete.

Trade closed manually

It's complete. This pair has had some excellent profitable this month because of money management. I'm going to try and explain it somewhere, maybe here or through Twttr/YT.

Comment

Excellent profitable, ha!

I've been debating this one myself. I have my finger on the button to short some 6D futures but just couldn't do it. It's trapped in a larger price range but is starting to wind up into a wedge. I would be a lot more convinced to short if I saw a bigger bearish candle off of that upper trend line.

@krugman25, That's true, it's when I would go to lower timeframes and look for compelling reasons to enter in my intended direction. I would look at 12, 8, 6, 4 and 1H to see which momentum based PA best suited the expectation.

@marketdiverfx, Good suggestion. I may poke around in the hourlies. Are you from Australia? Im guessing morning/early afternoon where your at?

@krugman25, Tokyo. Are you in Australia?

@krugman25, Also, many traders are using the 200ema as a gauge which works against the shorting idea but could also create the trap needed for the push down.

@marketdiverfx, No, I am from the Midwestern United States. Probably the only person who trades Forex in a 100 mile radius, lol. Forex is almost unheard of in the US. I assumed you were from Australia since your coach was from there.

@krugman25, The Midwest, nice, hopefully not the freezing cold part, Dakota! I'm in Boston now visiting some people.

@marketdiverfx, Iowa actually, but still gets super cold. Its nice right now, 80s, but in the winter we can get between -30 to -50.

@krugman25, Yes, that would be freezing. When I go back to Tokyo rainy season starts and lasts for 4 weeks, then the humidity is ridiculous. Interesting planet.
