Yes, I have quite an epic couple of weeks of these patterns, a few conservative 80 pip scores pinpointing the reversal of a few pairs, and then a few other smaller wins here and there. That said, I was studying these patterns very intently (read the book 3 times, studied all of TMBs posts). Dont get me wrong Stupip, I dont mean to be pessimistic, I just dont want to see someone take such a gamble 10% when there is always profit awaiting us in the markets.
I have been intending to post patterns on here, but have an extreme school workload this semester and have no time. Ill try to find time next week.
My view on these patterns is that they are an extremely good way to understand the markets from a “physics” point of view. To understand the 5 min tf, you need to understand 15 min tf. to understand the 15 min tf, you need to understand the 30 min… all the way to the Monthly.
The lower time frames give you the ability, to fine tune your entries an also jump in on larger patterns. They also give you the ability to trade not just after a convergence point on greater tf, but trade a pattern TO the convergence point.
Now 5 min, 15 min, 1 hr time frames, whatever floats your boat. I think you could rely solely on one of these and make your profits. I find the bread and butter to be on 1 HR where the moderate 30 pips target is quite achievable.
One recommendation for your small tf trades, the more major the X point is, the more of the traders are watching it. That means price will respect those fibs and blow through fibs of minor extrema in some cases.
Stupip, now that I think about it. Your entry at 1.3202 might be a great trade. I say this not because of the pattern, but I have read many statements where major players intend to go back short at the 1.32 level. Its also a major psychological level. However I would venture to say if you got an entry there, it may be a great entry if the greek deal doesn’t turn out tomorrow. You could potentially get an early entry into a quick dive. Make sure to pay attention to everything thats happening tomorrow as all pairs will probably experience a lot of volatility.
If anyone wants to add me on skype let me know. I find that as easier way to communicate about these patterns.
