Gbp/chf

Here's my setup on the GBP/CHF...

5M TF Price has been away from the 800 SMA for more than 2 standard deviations.

A candle close abobe the TL will signal a buy for me. TP, the 800 SMA 100 pips above ( and just above R3. Remeber what I said about G/C and R3, S3 ).

Support so far today is at S2, I have a feeling that we will see S3 before R3 though.

Hello MysticForex just wanted to say thanks to you for sharing your knowledge and bringing some fresh ideas to the table. I enjoy reading your insightful posts especially the gbp/chf as I've pretty much moved away from the euro and more into gbp/chf & gbp/usd.

 

Thanks and I hope to read more observations and strategies from your posts.

This setup has historically been a very nice producer. It's called a "Squeeze Box".

GBP/CHF has been range bound for some time in the current area.

I would like to see a breakout, to the upside, a CLOSE above the red dashed line on 30M TF.

For targets we have missed Daily and Weekly pivots all over the place. My short term target would be this week's Weekly Pivot @14675... Then last week's Missed Weekly Pivot @ 14950.

 

PS: We hit R3 Today!

This is the GBP/CHF. A cross know for long times of consolidation , followed by times of extreme volatility.

I have it zoomed way out in order to get as much time as possible displayed. Looking closely, you will see Orange dashes, and blue dashes. The Orange are the Weekly Pivot Points, and the Blue are the Daily Pivot points. We are going to start with the Weekly Pivots,

The Daily Pivots ( Blue ) will be covered at a later date.

We have managed to display 73 weeks of data here. Of 73 weeks, only twice has price not

hit the WP, ( Weekly Pivot ) , indicated by the arrows. That's a pretty high percentage, over 90% ( if I recall, the last time someone I know ran the nubers it was 92.7 % ).

 

In the following posts, we will talk about how this knowledge can be used to our benefit.

 

 

Here's the Chart:

The weekly Pivots are usually hit early in the week. This weeks has already been hit.

For the next 4 weeks I will plot the WP on Sun Evening when the Market opens (EST).

If price opens on, or within 30 pips of the pivot, there is no trade.

 

If price is more then 50 pips from the WP, I will place an entry order toward the WP from 30 pips out. If price moves away from the WP, I will change the entry oder to 50 pips out, once price is100 or more pips away.

 

TP will always be the WP, S/L will always be 30 pips.

 

 

After 4 weeks you should be getting the idea of it and we will start looking for ways to use the Daily Pivots.

Sorry for the delay in posting, I was delayed getting home from a weekend trip.

 

 

GBP/CHF opened within 50 pips of the Weekly Pivot, so we would not have entered a position. It immediately went to Sunday's Daily Pivot, then down to Mon's Daily Pivot, Then up and thru the Weekly Pivot, which is @14927.

For the rest of the week we will watch the Daily Pivot, with the exception of Friday which is NFP.

Generally, a Pivot is valid for 3 time periods. So, a Dailey Pivot is good for 3 days, and a Weekly Pivot is good for 3 weeks.

 

Last week's pivot was not hit and is still valid. Entry is the same as described in an earlier post.

We also have this's weeks pivot @15224. If they open I would treat these as 2 seperate trades.

    • Originally Answered: How can I compete with people who are better than me in every way?   So you want to outcompete people who are smarter, better looking and more experienced than you?   No problem!   All you have to do is outwork them.   Will Smith said, "if we both get on a treadmill either you're going to get off first or I'm going to die trying."     Most people just aren't willing to work that hard. Sure, they'll show up for the job interview and maybe practice in front of the mirror for a few minutes, but they won't do hours and hours of research and prepare for weeks. They won't wake up early and stay up late working on their dreams.   So while all those smart, good-looking, experienced people are waiting around for the next opportunity to come their way, you can outwork them and create your own opportunities.   In a few years, you'll be that "smart" person everyone looks up to.

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.
