wat is 1-2-3, A-B-C-D, looks like elliot waves..hehehe but i sure it is not.

Fibonacci Retracement, fib some swings and take a look what price is doing, shandy told you earlier that we work with a kind of leg or wave analysis, but it's not as hard as like elliot or something, keep it easy, Leg A must be bigger then B, then you have an analysis of where price is heading to, C should reach a Fib Retracement level of A or B or the Baseline of the Fib from B or A or break.

If something wrong shandy correct me please

Default who doesnt love cool hand luke reference?

"What we've got here is a failure to communicate."

Actually, upon some reflection, I think what we may have is an attempt to gain the benefits of the room while circumventing any cash outlay for it. Which shows a misunderstanding of what it is about, but thats okay. I now somewhat regret my earlier attempt to clarify. Bygones, bygones.

Valle -- looks like the GBP has already retraced over 618% of the London am move today.

EUR al mismos. For awhile it looked like a gartley pattern might be forming, but thats a very strong trend to overcome (catch a falling knife). Upper resistance worth watching at least.

I still think I'm in the right with this IB/OB type deal... I'd like someone with a somewhat credible back history to give the exact definition they are using..

because I don't see how those "equal length" but very lower bars are IBs/OBs and even then they shouldn't be tradeable because they have moved so much already

I'm pretty sure if those charts are gmt+0 you were in the middle of a news trade/new breaking... so it wouldn't really be considered a normal trade but rather a news break

here is my trade, i juz want to try it out.
my enter is based on the inside bar (james new version of IB) which i mark it with a square. the horizontal blue line is the fibobacci i drew on hourly timeframe. the price retrace at 38.2% of fib retracement. i miss out the OB on the top juz below the fibo blue line which i mark it with circle.


so any comment? i dun know how to set the profit target so i juz place it at the swing low.


by the way, the chart i upload is GU 15M
