Short idea on GU after break of hourly structureYesterdays candle closed as a very promoting SS (shooting star), this was seen after a convincing move higher towards a slight daily level. This SS gives me confidence that price will reverse and go down to the untested level on the daily (5th April). We can see that if price comes back to the level now without a move lower we will have 61.8Fib confluence (very strong confluence). We will also have out 50EMA hovering around that area. We have out stop just above the high of the impulsive move down. Nobig news to come out today on either currency so we don't have to worry about watching out for that. If we get in I will close out at 4PM as it is Friday and I don't hold over the weekend.

eurgbp outlook for today/ next week on this pair you can see we are sitting on a lvl of structure @ 0.86725 however we are not making any progression away form it, this to me creates a liquidity pool below market because the more time price rejects the more people are inclined to buy this lvl as its deemed "strong" , this end up with lots of stops below a "strong" lvl. now as we know the market is gravitated towards liquidity so in my opinion there is a high probability the market is going to drop below taking any stops out and making sell side liquidity (when you have a buy order in the market and your stop loss is hit you are selling back into the market at a disadvantageous price and you pay the cost of the difference) now back to the trade idea haha, I am looking to get a break below structure and a retest to go short alongside liquidity, we also have an untested lvl with fib and ema and atr confluence below market @ 0.86427 I will be looking to buy this lvl after I close my short out

USDJPY Series of Lower Highs | Descending Triangle | 2.38RSee Price Range 110.964 to 110.387. You will see a series of lower highs going into the support line. Support line was broken and turned resistance. After the break, enter on the retest of resistance line (110.387). Price broke exponential moving averages (dynamic support resistance) and retested it. The "intersection" of horizontal support resistance and dynamic support resistance is a value area. Stop Loss: 22.6 Pips Take Profit: 53.9 Pips RR: 2.38R Entry: 110.387 Take Profit: 109.848 Stop Loss: 110.613 Note: Stop Loss was from Exponential Moving Average Period 10 on April 5 2021 at 08:00 Note: Trade in the direction of the break. My initial bias for USDPY Descending Triangle was a buy. But price never broke and closed above the pattern. So, I didn't enter a long position. When price closed below the pattern, my bias changed to look for sell opportunities. In the chart, see price level 110.387. After price closed below that level, I started looking for sell opportunities.

PG&E CORP 1D BULL FLAGBull Flags are a Range patter & they are repeatable trading chart patterns. Bull Flags are a descending chart pattern that will have a directional bias (Long) depending on the previous incoming trend. Each chart pattern will have defining trendlines of the support/resistance levels creating the pattern. What ever time frame you are trading this chart pattern, wait for a candle close outside of the trendline in the direction of the breakout candle. (Our time frame preference is the Daily chart). Add volume indicator - Volume is the amount of $ that went into a particular candle or in Forex the # of trades that took place. Add ATR indicator - Volatility is the amount of price movement that occurred. Use the ATR to measure the price movement. When you see descending Volume bars and descending ATR line (which indicates volatility) this shows a dis-interest in traders to invest in this pair creating consolidation which creates the chart pattern. Trade Management after there is a breakout candle close. 1 - Position size (compare volume bar to volume ma line). a - Breakout candle must be 100% of volume average for a full position size. b - If 75% of volume average then ½ position size.
