hi friend…thank you for your advice…
even i am also thinking the same…
at the time i posted this this is appropriate… but after the news released…everything has changed…and you know what…now there is a chance (not sure…because…i am also new trader…) to drop the value up to 1.2150…
any how i am very happy…to meet you…have a great day…
and can you tell me the moving average which you used?
I use the system I learnt here in babypips called “Cowabunga” or the the amazing crossover involving the use of
5EMA and 10EMA with different colors.
Stochastic set at 10,3,3
RSI set at 9 with one level at 50.
Sometimes I add MACD set at default ie 12, 26,9.
MACD is excellent in spotting divergence also.
The new one I am using as MA now is strictly DiNapoli. I am still testing it.
Last week I used it and bag some pips. It’s called Displaced Moving Average (DMA).
There is nothing special about it.
It’s the same as MA but differs by adding a number on the “shift box”
I think from what I learnt It can predict future price when you add a number on the shift dialogue box.
I am trying these set up with it.
SMA3x3
SMA7X5 and
SMA25X5
The first is for short term, the second for medium and the third for long term trade if price breaks them
The SMA3X3 and 7X5 can server as crossover too.
Your overall settings could be like this H4 EUR/USD Chart:
Please I may adjust this pending order as I am suspecting a long upward Retracement. Try and analyze your
before entering. Crossover is in play except RSI that will give me a clear appetite to hit my button. A break above 7x5
(Blue MA) will also make me go long too.
Secondly, I add Fibonacci levels to know the area of my Entry and Exit.
Again I use trend lines and channels too just like today.
Market has been moving on rising channel within a range.
Please I am not an expert or pro, I am still learning and will try to learn from you too. Forex is so wide and a lot need to be covered.
Maxmuds,
For me I am SHORT. I adjusted my initial plan because price couldn’t reach
my 23.6% Fib level but ranged around a strong support area of 1.228 and 1.23
So luckily a down move to 1.223 was achieved. I think opportunity still calls for further bearish move.
But I suggest you wait for a retracement to enter. I want to try and Short at 1.2770 now.
Who knows? Price could get there and boom down again. Please don’t forget SL in case it goes against the plan.
But since trend is downwards, I decided to adjust my entry point a little
higher to 1.2850 suspecting a wider retracement than expected. But if
it turns out to be a reversal, I will not hesitate to go Long.
My eyes are still open for any further downward or reversal move in case my analysis fail.
Remember Stop loss is very important to your trades please.
The MACD is the same default settings. The green lines were created by me for a purpose. That’s all. When you check your MACD, you will still see the divergence on H4. I trade with two brokers at the same time and they almost react the same way to prices but market price differs with 2 to 3 pips. This is no problem at all as both have different supply per say.
I have seen it and you got my reply too.
I think the 1.2850 pending order was not a bad idea though I got out earlier
b/c I had 2 open trades.Both pending order triggered and I am ok for the day.
