Default double bottom on the 24M at 204.47

I think it is safe to say we should be heading back up now.
Yes the 24M is wierd, but I like it.

I use 2,6,12,24,48,60,240M charts lately and sometimes the daily but I do NOT make long term plans based on the daily.

Default Bottom?

Do you think we have hit a bottom somewhere around 204.70? I want to go to bed!

Question Long time...no see!

Hi Guys!

Been awhile since I last posted. The price does seem to stagnate around 204.70, BUT if you compare the pounds strength against the other 7 major currencies, the pound is tcurrently he WEAKEST.

What does this mean? Sorry, but the price is likely to continue south. However, th GBP/JPY can snap back in a hurry, so I am definitely buying some longs, albeit with some discretion.

Happy trading!

Here's a current chart with nothing but price, 2 fib fan series (one yellow; one a shorter TF in red w/speed lines) and some wider TF fib retracement lines - I run other charts for G/J concurrent with this one, but think this is the simplest and one of the most telling at the moment. If we hold a break below that bottom fan line (dancing around it now), we could see a return to ~204 or below. But, that said, the Guppy has been swimming around within the bounds of this smaller fan. I'm currently flat (concentrated on some other pairs last night) here, but maintain a short bias ( ), although I remain watchful of a larger move up because the pair is establishing higher lows.

In my experience, humility before the market has come to mean always remaining somewhat tentative regarding direction - taking positions on a probabilistic basis and acknowledging the misgivings, however minor, that persist in your analysis - this way pips can, ideally, be made in both directions. I find Elijah's method pretty interesting and think it is viable if played conservatively, but have a hard time reconciling myself to entering trades countertrend when the pair may be as likely to continue down as turn up - it's hard to watch all those pips go by.

andrew, are you on a mac? And what chart is that, it is not MT4 .. is it GTF?
Lastly .. how do you draw fib fan lines? Actually maybe strike that one, not sure MT4 allows it...

Hmm .. just hit a snag with MB Trading .. I just opened an account & was going to fund it but found they are stuck in the last century, only want a personal check & hold it for 10 days or a wire transfer which costs $25 min a pop! So .. maybe I need to go with FX Solutions after all .. anything I need to know before opening an account there? Anyone here (other than Elijah) with them.. and happy?

Yep, I run a Mac. Intel processor and a partitioned hard drive w/Windows OS on the other side allows me to run MT4 on my machine - a bit cumbersome, but I only use MT4 for charting, backtesting and demoing whatever method I'm curious about, so most of what I need can be done on a web-based plat. The chart was from Oanda, actually. They do have very limited capability (really their plat's single major flaw), but it usually suffices.

I draw fans much similarly to how I draw other fib studies - but typically with fans (and arcs) I pull in wicks, whereas with retracements and expansions I use bodies only. Speed lines are helpful on shorter TFs; otherwise they just clutter stuff up. I also draw fans within fans to look for collinearity or "confluence", i.e. overlapping lines.

MT4 will let you draw fib fans one of the menus ("insert"? Working from memory) lists "fibonacci" and allows you to select from a variety of studies.
