Subjectivity is not an issue, it's the point. If it was mechanical instead or subjective, you could buy an EA on the net for $37.00 and do this.... CJ |

Some people think levels are a guide and you can have more than 3 levels. I believe that's incorrect. I believe you can only have 3 levels. There's not 4 or 5. If you think there is 4 or 5 you're probably reading and drawing it wrong. You need to practice reading and drawing levels every day. You don't need to trade them but just practice drawing them. It may involve staring at charts for hours till you get it. CJ has his own method and I think I have mine (derived from his way ofc). You need to come up with you're own. What makes this harder is that you can get multi TF levels. You can get levels within levels. Thats why I will recommend you stay away from the 15min chart if you really want to understand the levels concept. Thats my opinion of course. Stick to 1H and 4H. |

Hi Pips You are right! I have a short term long on the pound as well as the euro, If I can 50 pips I will be happy. Or do you reckon there might be another push long similar to the ones I have marked?? I still find the pushes somewhat hard to spot. ..but I will hang in there. I was thinking that maybe a protracted kill zone on the pound now for a week or so, then maybe another push down, but that is just a guess...maybe I will try turning my monitor upside down..! thanks again! |

First try at the quote thing. Angat in my option there is nothing case in stone about forex. I believe you can have more than 3 levels. Otherwise one would not need stops. I agree the 4 hr it is easier to see. But to learn I think the 1 min and tick is the way to go. It comes fast and set up in minutes. Demo trade it for 5 -10 pips with tight stops or just watch. small time frame smaller move and tighter stops but the charts are all the same. But what do I know I am always wrong. Oh the gbp yen short hit first target hope it makes it all the way down. I think gbp usd is lagging the eru usd and will continue down. I broke pretty clean through the old lead in line. I think CJ wrote about lagging pairs or something like that in the barf pdf. I am attaching a gbp usd chart. I call them barf retracements CJ tells me that it is not a true barf and of coarse he is correct because they bounce retrace back up but I don't know what else to call them so I am sticking with barf retrace. Any comes up with a better name let me know. This happens all the time tight stop when it hits the lead in line and follow it up to thrid level then take it back the other way down past lead in line then down for the next two levels and repeat process. All with a tight stop That is my take |

I don't believe the fox is as rigid as you think. He is there to make MONEY. If he is LONG for three levels, and there is more money to the upside... he will take it. Show me three levels on this run. This was just the first one I saw that I had already marked up. EU GU counts and patterns often get heavily messed with, imho. When I get stuck in a count I look for them to start the aggressive shakeouts. When they are pinning it high and low... I am looking for them to put in a peak formation high or low.... doesn't matter if it took 2 impulse moves or 4 to get there. Something to think about. If the fox could ONLY count to three... would that make the game easier for the masses? Think he would do that? Mike |

Nice post Mike.... it's called "deception". The fox always tries to cover his tracks....doesn't always work, but they try. Don't forget that that throw in a stop hunt between the levels as well to throw the count off... CJ |

All depends on what you are looking for across what time frame. I'm game for 50 pips or so on that pair and that's why the "?" s there....looks ripe for a shake out to me.... CJ |

Sorry brother, but those are not "BARFs" and calling it that may confuse others who are reading the PDF from FXAW... nothing more than price following the channel for 3 levels up ..... it's broken the lower line and is going to retest it... then either back up or down....but a test first.... On the 15M it's presents another view....along with a 50 pip trade.... CJ |
