Oh yeah it's a nightmare, but i love it when those levels show themselves! It's happening all over the place at the moment but i'm reluctant this week due to Easter break (i'm sure half the UK is still on holiday)!

EURUSD — Evening team Strat, one of my favourite charts at the moment is EURUSD as it highlights the importance of looking at higher timeframes than the one you plan to enter on. We are currently in a BIG BOSS IB, with price finding support of ...

Don't the Yen pairs tend to be led by USDJPY? This doesn't look like it'll make new highs to me (at least not over the next few days). I'd expect a little IB (harami?) to form tomorrow which may give a nice discounted entry as the R/R on this ...

If you're into yen highs... — ...check out NZDJPY. Shadow pierced 50% fib and PPZ at 57. Close could do with being higher so i won't take it but if you're feeling adventurous the R/R ain't too bad. image (Sorry Strat, i've gone naked)

Hi G-Man, What i meant was on the ones that stand out to me for direction, i can't see a clear set up on daily, so its possible to place an entry confident in its direction, but without much PA to justify it. But then again, i could be missing the ...
