Hello, Dudest,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I've attached a screenshot - I know this example is extreme circumstances with the JH news announcement, but when counting a three day cycle from a peak high, the 'M' pattern formed but the stop hunt / spike (which I've arrowed) broke through and reset the peak high. Would you just call this a stop hunt and not consider it as a peak high reset? Meaning I level count from the 'M' and not the new high set by the SH wick?

Thanks again.

The pin is nothing more than a lie to trap people into trades going the wrong way. When drawing trend lines, use the candle body and not the wicks. Wicks are areas created by spread widening and price manipulation and are used to create FALSE areas of S/R. Peak high remains at the M, with the last CLOSED high. You can go all the way down to the 5M chart and see there is no price close above the previous closed high.



When in doubt, use a line chart.

Hi CJ,

Is it possible to see if I have drawn the TLs correctly? I am not sure if the trend has changed after the brexit, a special event.

There are many trend lines on a chart... these (red) indicate a steepening of the trend, which is still down in the long term. Until price breaks ALL of those trend lines, the direction is still down, but trades and be taken both ways due to retests of the previous trend lines.

Hallo Matt,

Thanks to Sensei CJ for answering your query

True dat about that pin. The close is what's important.

I've seen a couple of A-B-Cs where the C is a sick!, wicked! pin ( just like this one ) but always closing at the same level as the A.
Peak low remains the B ( just like peak high here remains the 'M' )

Cheers

GBPUSD

Have just zoomed out on the chart, and lookey here :)

That 'C' is a nice confluence zone to go SHORT ( IMHO )

Hi CJ, thanks for your reply. I didn't know that there are so many trend lines in one time frame.
