Yes, that's me, though the hair is longer these days. I was out earlier today having a dance lesson, today was the Rumba - I'm training up a new partner at the moment.
 
Guys,

I have had a look at the chart and marked all the boxes I can see, there are a lot more boxes then I would have thought at first.

Large Boxes are marked in BLACK , the BLUE and the RED lines with-in are smaller boxes.
Blue boxes generated long trades and Red are for Short.. marked in colour for your ease.

JillyB,

Your second box had 2 smaller boxes within, the first one gave a false long signal after which there was 2nd box which generated a short trade about 2 points above your short entry.

Your 3rd box was invalidated by the 5th Candle penetrating the box top at 1.7791, also there was a smaller box formed with-in which gave us an early long signal. If the previous candle high was taken at 1.7795 this would have been a positive trade.

Please let me know of your thoughts on this. cheers

Yes, I see, but the first box still hadn't formed fully when you were looking at finding a smaller one inside it. I don't do this.

I do look for smaller boxes, but they have to form inside the first one AFTER it has totally formed. So I would be looking for a new high inside the first box - which is what you have called your third box. The third box still didn't form fully when there was a breakout, so the first box still held firm.

I hope this makes sense.
 
Are you saying that after the last 3 candles making a box complete you can start looking for newly forming smaller boxes ? Sorry I did not understand what you said about a new high forming within the box, I thought that would trigger the trade ? thanks.
 
If the high of the candle exceeds the high of the previous 4 candles which include Candle 2, 3, 4 and 5 - I am assuming that a box has already formed and completed with its 5th candle - If the 6th Candle was higher then the previous 4, would you take this has a higher high within the larger box ? Thanks.

Yes, after a the box bottom has formed and held, you can start looking for a new box within the larger one if the cable is still consolidating. But to do this you need a high - the box formation always starts with finding the high, such as the top of the next bounce. If this new box doesn't have time to form then the trade is only triggered when the price breakthrough the box top or bottom of the original box.

Does this make sense?

Yes it does, so I as understand we look for peaks to start the box off with in both cases when finding a larger box or smaller boxes within - I would say similar to a 1-2-3 pattern however we are looking for 5 candles in this and always start off with the peak forming the high of the box so basically we are looking for consolidation where-ever found.

Hi Chow,
Sorry I'm a bit late posting these. Had a busy couple of days.
But better late than never.

Many thanks JillyB. It was the boxes within boxes that would have tripped me up on Friday, so thanks for your clarification!

Have a good week :)

5 pips at 9.30am - glad I took them as it's gone into reverse.

Yes, we had a spike because of better than expected UK retails sales. Those news spikes makes it a little bit difficult to trade the box method.
