I am always first looking to trade WITH the trend.
The GBPAUD has formed a BUEB (Bullish Engulfing Bar) at a swing low. Some traders could take this trade long. The reason I did not is because I would rather trade with this down move in my favour.
I have highlighted on the chart where I would look to get short either on 1hr/4hr/1day chart to get short:
I know I am not Dudest however I think I can answer. Dudest is not a member of my course, however I think you maybe getting confused as he was commenting about one of the articles I posted for all to see on my site. The link for this is on the previous page.
On my New York close charts I do not see any pin bar or even close. I am unsure what charts you are using however the area is solid for looking for longs should we get PA to confirm.
Quite a few pair moving into retrace mode which is exactly what we need to look for. In other words price is in a trend and is retracing back to nice levels to get into the trend.
For just one example of this is the EURUSD.
The chart below is the 4hr chart and I have highlighted where I would like to go long.
Hey thanks yes it is. As I couldn’t see what you were seeing I went down to the 1hr to see if I could spot any bullish signs and then forgot to change.
Below is my 4hr chart (much different to yours). This is a common problem. If people want to start using New York close charts just let me know.
Hi Johnathon,
Not also wanting to go off-topic, but decided to post here coz someone else may have the same issue.
My 4H chart also looks different from yours… The levels generally seem the same, but most of the candles vary…
Earlier in the thread when you mentioned New York close charts, I Googled, and from what I found, FXDD was said to have 5-day New York close charts. But now i’m not sure…
@CADJPY D1:
-> Also looks good to me, forming again at a relevant resistance level…though again, wish the body was bigger But looks big & obvious to me
Compare request: been watching EURJPY (H4 attached). Retrace seems to have occurred to significant S/R level. Something of a pin-bar seems to have formed but hasn’t slapped me in the face with simplicity/obviousness; waiting for confirmation that uptrend is back…
Here is that same AUD/CHJF chart I was discussing shorts for yesterday. well more in keeping with trading with the trend it has now formed rather large looking BUEB. It is yet to close and I HATE posting before a candle has completed but due to time constraints I won’t be around when it does.
Keep an eye on it. It also shows how it is good to have a 2 way plan with PA. That way if the opportunity presents itself you can get short or long.
