Forex Price Action

Scary thing, I had a dream of the usd/cad moving up to the 1.0500 level.
You may think nothing special it’s just a 30-40 pips retrace, However I found it creepy.

Hey Jack!

You still in NZDUSD short? :slight_smile:

.

Yes,

USDCAD: D1 false-break pinbar at BRN 1.0500 got filled

GBPCAD: D1 false-break pinbar at yearly highs got filled as well.

Cheers

LOL, for real?! :slight_smile:

Wow, talk about PA working into your subconscious :slight_smile:

What did you do in the dream? Hope not panic; it’s gotta test whether the BRN can act as resistance ( and give people re-entry opps on lower timeframes ).

Here’s to BRN holding its ground!

Hey heelflip,

For me, I’ve seen this scene before ( almost like a dream like Kasravi’s! ) ==> on the H4, price makes strong moves ( like the JPYs yesterday ), and then price pauses, and a reversal pin is formed ( that sucks us in! ), only for price to continue STRONGLY in the direction it had started…

Have burnt my fingers a couple of times like this ( JPYs, XAUUSD esp ), so I’m wary of it. Price has to move, then pause, then move, then pause ( pause/retrace = profit-taking or consolidation/accumulation of new positions )

Some genuine reversals might occur in such scenarios, but if I was a betting man, I’d always bet on the earlier move continuing…

All the best!

Cheers

Thanks for asking!

Jack

I see its going ur way :slight_smile:

Still super goodstuff!, nice trading :slight_smile:

It’s a sure fine line ( protecting capital -vs- riding the move ).

Hey, take a look at this: FOREX Statistical Research Center/Placing Better Stops

That, together with going through alot of past setups (to see how they played out, and how they could have been trailed better), lit alot of light-bulbs, esp on how to place stops when the targets are further away.

I know was crazy.
That’s right worst case scenario stops are in place.
Good article, however don’t we always place our stops above/below recent prices?

Cheers

Absolutely same here :wink: GJ

Hey Kasravi!

When the trade is starting out, yes. [ Johno’s method and the concept Scott is putting out are in agreement ]

Of course when price takes off in our direction (esp more than we expected), it’s anyone’s guess where to place stops; there’s no hard and fast rule.

But I believe the concept of placing BUFFERED stops (away from reach unless you’re definitely on the wrong side) still applies. ( which is what, for e.g, placing stop above bearish pinbar does )

.

Indeed, I believe that optimal trade management is key.

Audcad 4h shows beeb am i right ?
