joelcf,
nyahahah.
that reminds me of the 1980's, of Bioman/ Shaider(Japanese hero-villain kid shows) 
yes, most stuff here are priced in 'mini/micro lots', relative to the rest of the world.
this is another perk of living here.

ertorque,
thanks for the IBFX heads-up. FXPro closes about 1.5hrs later.
gbpchf has been mentioned at least 2 times earlier.
i was looking at it for about 70miutes now. i was itching to short/touch trade it above 1.6500, but decided to be more patient.
i personally like the location. let's see how it closes.

nasir,
perhaps the wedge was not that steep.
Great job, still. 
(btw, in other brokers, i believe the candle has not closed yet, so u may get a 'replica' of your drawing, lol)

cprao,
yes it didnt close as a BEOB (FXPro live feed). the turn around happened around 40minutes or so of the H4 bar. the H4 close was similar to your chart (a doji).
apparently, gbpchf still has some 'bullish steam' in it.

i had 1.6460-70 marked in my chart (as potential minor PPZ), i didnt think it would hold. (price bounced there) 
price wants to end the week with a bullish note. let's see

Tell me about it. 
im probably 1 of the most impatient guys around.
my discipline, i can say is below topnotch.
i can go as far as saying the market has (almost literally) put me on my knees:
i cant do it 'my way'; i have to do it the market's way (respect the market, understand, feel & move with the market)
i think these two traits are part of the holy grail of everything in life.
a possible motto out of this is
"only the (most) patient & disciplined shall survive"

i see.
whether trading, shopping, or doing something else, well what we need to do is take charge.
the 'simple' solutions are
-be more picky,
-be more patient,
-be more disciplined,
-reduce your risk.
improve on anyone, or better yet try to improve in all fronts.
personally, i was ultra aggressive (overconfident) & extremely impatient last year (& prior years) leading to overtrading. as i read through this thread & gain more experience, i had no choice but to take charge & reduce my aggressiveness & impatience.
what do we need? increase discipline & patience. be more picky.
that's what i tried.. that's what i did. after all, that's what we needed to do.
in the process, i've avoided/reduced overtrading.
i still commit overtrading, but not like before: i've significantly reduced it. (the key to the reduction is knowledge of & correct drawing of S/R's & PPZs)
i know u already know this. this is the 'simple' route.

Dan Gilbert,
there are subtle differences though.
-gbpjpy's IPB close is bearish, WK0 (wheat?) IPB close is bullish
-gbpjpy IPB's upper wick is shorter, WK0 IPB's upper wick is much longer
-in connection to the above, gbpjpy's IPB has a high fairly near the prior bar's high. WK0's IPB has its high relatively farther compared to it's prior bar high.
Let's see how it moves.

'Look to the left'
For those who havent seen it yet, here is one of Sam Seiden's videos.
http://transcripts.fxstreet.com/2008...le-low-ri.html
u will notice the similarity with james16 method & videos.... after all, we are talking about the same thing: support & resistance.

Hey Dan,
why not?
u are one of the 'sponges' here (quick learners).
i believe u will get wherever u wanna go, just keep on keeping on
the journey/destination is in your mind.
so, the limit to your journey/destination lies in your mind as well..

Hey Nasir,
nice charts.
ej was a touch trade & via limit order, correct?
when was the first trade executed: prior/while the PB (by proxy) formed/was forming, or was it executed on the bearish bar [bar after this PB (by proxy)]?
Thanks!

in your idea here (in #2), will u sell at the same spot as your first entry price?
why not open your first trade with 2 positions at the onset instead? (1st position is put to BE quickly, the remaining position's SL remains intact or is slightly reduced)
also, how small is "small SL"? u should understand that often, prior/after a trade setup (A+ or not) is activated/executed, price retraces into the setup. in your chart's case, there was a minor retrace before price shot down. your "small SL" may or may not be hit in the process.
imho, once PPZ or S/R identification improves, trade management improves too/'gets easier'.
i hope this helps

Hey Scotty,
i looked back the usdcad H1 chart. (i personally consult higher/lower timeframes when i trade)
did u enter at/below the pin around 1.0124-0134?
imho u put your SL to BE very quickly. (price hit/breached your entry price twice in the H1 chart).
i have no charts but notice the quick reversal of price when it reached your entry area (H1 chart). to me this means, price is quite bearish(imho, this is key) & stop hunting(?). eventually i learned that there was news, so to me this (news) was the reason price stalled prior the 1.0100... before diving down.
if u have 2 positions open at that time, u could've exited 1/2 at/prior 1.0100. remaining position SL can stay intact (in this case, above the pin) or reduced (trader discretion), to take advantage of possible price run/trend.

Do you consider the pattern on daily EURCAD to be a viable short TBL? Or is it too risky because of probable stop hunting at this all-time low?
.....
|
yes it does move fast at times.
just a quick reply: (just lookign at your chart)
TBL? how many pips difference on the lows?
what is the trend?
that TBL seem to be above a round number. if so, u are trading into a possible support.
a viable short maybe below the round number.

u have an excellent idea of what is important.
the rest on the list are derivatives of price, so u can use them & place weight on them for yourself (personal taste).
about pins, the right eye is the current price. sometimes the right eye is the bar/candle where price moves in your favor. sometimes the right eye is a bar that stall/ranges/retraces into the pin (or any other trade setup we trade here, for that matter) before price eventually goes in your favor.
Hope this helps a bit.
& Welcome!

HanSolo,
it may or may not work...
it may or may not be viable --- it's trader dependent. 
personally, 20-36pips is ok for me, specially if i see a high probability in that trade setup.
btw, the more matching lows (3-bar lows, 4-bar lows, etc), the potential for a explosive breakout increases.

i checked Dow.
well, on H1 chart, on the way down, price sliced through 11,100 the first time it touched it. then came back to it, then continued its drop.
besides, imho, its due for a relatively big move given its relentless upmove since Feb2010.
Let's see if this snowballs price towards 10,000.
