Hi Michosz! :)

I honestly don't know how Elliot waves work :)

What I've come to understand so far is that:
  • >> A push is a movement in one direction, followed by a pause/range or retrace.
  • >> 3 pushes make up a level. 3 levels make up a cycle ( though of late I've been seeing alot of 2-level cycles... )
  • >> Pushes are most easily seen on M15, while levels are most easily seen on H1.
I struggled with levels and pushes for a while. It was once after taking a break from Forex for about 2 months that I started seeing them
The 61.8 and 73.6 were also just serendipitous discoveries when I was trying to figure out a way to enter trades into the dominant cycle
73.6 was actually a shock since it's not a commonly used Fib ratio. Since then, very many times I've noticed that 3 pushes/levels often end at the 73.6 Fib

These charts from CJ helped a lot to set me straight

Cheers :hi:
PS: it's not so much about being RIGHT as it is about being NIMBLE ( adapting to what is unfolding in-front of you )

CJ mentioned often how he trades by the seat of his pants

Nimble :good:

Thank you Dudest :clap: , Already short EURUSD .
You and me both brother! :hi:

London is about to open. London is the mother of deceit.

First 2 hours is normally faking the direction, then switch around and maintain for the rest of the day ( the basis of the market-maker daily cycle )

Let's see how far EURUSD will be moved ( I hope down for 3 pushes! ), then switch back to longs

Looking good.

Doesn't reconcile with EU to a point [ if EU is still to go up, 'C' on USDCHF won't hold ]

But no matter, we'll trade what we see

In this case better be playing it safe. We could wait for the entire W to form and then enter after the first push up following your method posted few days ago. All this to avoid getting burnt at the fib levels

The second leg of the W could coincide with the ADR low. Let's see how it goes
