Price dropped to 50% fib retracement then reversed long. First Entry would have been after 1 candle pullback @ 8010.00. Original buy stop was 8110.00. First take profit would be swing high. Price hit swing high and broke above it. Nice to watch and learn how this pair reacts to fast drops in price.
The odds are lining up against the bulls. They may see a holiday cheer with a kiss of 2600 if lucky. However, the pullback from 2597 is incomplete and Bears are preparing for their feast. Continuing last week's issue the pullback is underway for an eventual total of 2-3% from the 2597 peak.
Elliott wave count, a Fibonacci level of 1 from the the 2/2016 low, a...
Time for a pause of the upward trend while the Bears to welcome cooler times. Their romp will be brief, but I expect their volume to be loud. A pullback of 2-3% has been long anticipated and is finally here. For the Bulls it provides a breather before the next advance. A much larger tussle is ahead in Dec/Jan. For now, there is something for everyone.

PRO-GAP Tutorial
Today is Monday and GBPAUD formed a PRO-GAP
Definition of pro gap is:
the gaps' direction is the opposite of the last candle's direction.
We can see Last Friday's closing price was 1.6793
and this morning's opening price was 1.6849
which means all the sellers who sold in the last candle were trapped.
Therefore a good trading plan was...
Thanks to Fibonacci we have many tools helping with everyday analysis. Fibonacci channel is one of them. It is a simple tool which can cover whole swing and when used properly can find a lot of possible places for PA to bounce and create small intraday swings. Educate, practice and trade with Fibonacci cause this math algo is everywhere. In single atom, in plants,...
Too many traders see harmonic scans as black or white, trade or no trade, winning trade or losing trade. Exact same with forks. Sometimes, they work off each other. If I catch a scan in a fork, great. But THE BEST forks are often drawn AFTER the scan ... as the scan's swings are very significant, and using them to align a fork will almost always give-up pips after...
Many traders think pitchforks are used to only identify the trading opportunities inside the fork. While they do that, they also serve as future trade set-ups. Forks are created out of Fibonacci relationships (SH-SL / SL-SH) and thus are Fibonacci-energized. As you can see, S&R that the fork points out, remains AFTER the fork is breached. :)
This is my trading plan. You can look through my published ideas to look at other examples.
I need 3 reasons to enter a trade.
1. A clear direction. I use 3 emas 50, 100, and 200 as shown in the chart.(Required)
2. A horizontal support/resistance area. (Required)
3. Price retrace to one of the emas to act as resistance. (preferably than fib)
4. Fib continuation...
This news strategy lets the wind die down from the price reaction of the news. You have time to place your fib on the news candle and watch the retracement develop. Price has had time to pick a direction from the markets reaction to the news. Sometimes to catch the best price for the retracement you will be using a 1m or 5m chart. SL is easy to see and place. TP...
After seeing several charts on this site, I've noticed some common mistakes; re-tracement levels, pattern recognition, wave counts, and, trend-lines, along with, channel formation cover a lot of them.
Some thoughts:
Re-tracements / Projections don't always conform to 0.62 /1.62 ratios. Think about it. Is a 62% re-tracement really bullish? 38% and 50%...
EURUSD is adhering or responding to the Fibonacci levels all most all of the times. When trader wants to ride the trend this much information is enough to enter and exit trades. We are not trying to forecast the direction or the top/bottom. We are trying to identify important zones in which price may turn in Future.
Price patterns like double top or bottoms...
I still remembered my coach told me to find the evidence of any reversal signals and notice the change of price action on each individual bars. I labelled herewith a higher high (HH) to show an uptrend formation.
When we want to LONG, we look for any evidences to show many HH, and later the price action breaks the red down-trend line in this case (yellow spot)....

Please refer to the other charts I have produced on this methodology.

Let's start from the beginning:
