SELL SHORT from .9700 - Potential M Top
I have recently posted some recommended trades that take advantage of gaps in the market.
I did receive some adverse comments from someone who clearly doesn't understand enough about FX trading.
I've been trading FX over 25 years.
The key to making money by trading FX is to look for ANY market advantage.
If you can identity certain well established and accepted key patterns (gaps, double tops, M-Top, W-Bottoms, pinbars, morning and evening stars etc etc) then you have a gained an advantage.
That's not to say that gaps, double tops, M-Tops etc etc ALWAYS work out - of course they don't BUT............................they STATISTICALLY are proven to work out MORE OFTEN THAN NOT.
So trading these patterns and candles make perfect trading sense.
The key is identifying these patterns as they form and being ready to trade them.
Yesterday we had a double top bang on WR1 resistance.
Anyone who DOESN'T use pivots is a fool as far as I'm concerned as pivots are THE ONLY indicator that is set at the start of the week and as these support and resistance levels are frequently where traders will have SELL LIMIT or BUY LIMIT orders and they are also levels where traders will liquidate LONGS and SHORTS then you can prepare for a trade in advance.
The EUR/CHF trade I suggested yesterday did not work out.
I lost around 18 pips - so I'm not concerned because if the price DOES reverse from current levels then its likely to target the gap which would be 100 pips.
So, as we have an M-Top pattern forming at resistance, I have a SELL STOP positioned at .9706 which is just below the WR1 pivot and this is the neckline of the M-Top.
Remember - this pattern has NOT yet completed and will only complete if we see price head south down past .9706 over the next few hours.
