Looks like a Level 3 may be forming on NZDUSD....
Note how they added a stop hunt in the "W" at the bottom to "dirty" the pattern a bit... I can would almost bet that some mistook the "W" as an "M" with the added stop hunt to bugger it up...

It helps me to imagine a few scenarios for what might happen at each significant area - there are always a few possibilities and one should at least have the long or short reaction from the area in mind - the point is to recognise the patterns (M, W, stop hunt at hi/lo/adr/around a significant level such as fib, trendline, pivot, widening of the asian range) as they form and trade them... you can go to higher timeframes and try to figure out the cycle to help narrow down the possible scenarios. I find it helps to have thought through a few of them so you can adapt to what happens... |

Not a bad idea at all....when you are staring at the lower level time frames, you will begin to "imagine" patterns instead of seeing patterns. That's why it's better not to trade the Asian where moves tend to be smaller. You want the volatility in range that you get near the top and bottoms, where they are spreading price, creating long pins and tripping stops to load their bag for the return trip. CJ |

YW When you move to the higher time frame, you lose all the "noise" of the lower ones. I don't always trade the 15M and have been using it to demonstrate the patterns. My favorite TF's are the H4 and the D1.... but I will use the lower for trades as well as entry and exit... The idea is to trade from the edges...the "M" to the "W", the "W" to the "M".... there's trades in between but when you get it on the edge, it's all good.. CJ |
