Re: USD CHF short trigger

Daily candle on Friday 18th was of a reversal (shooting star) type, at the mentioned previous Support & Resistance level of 0.94 00
I placed an order to enter short Monday morning (screen shot to be posted later, as on another pc) at the 50% retracement of the daily candle @ 0.93 45
With a take profit target at the round 0.93 00
Level and stop at the days high of 0.93 90

The trade order was triggered overnight and also closed out the first position stops on the remaining two parts have been moved down to just above entry @ 0.93 55
Target 2 is the recent low of 0.92 20 (+125pips) R3 (nearly) and part 3 I will use a trailing stop or 0.91 10, which ever is hit first
here's the chart

Re: USD JPY long

Today's candle suggests rejection of lower prices and potentially a continuation of the strong up trend (I appreciate fundamentals suggest a continued range or deeper retrace) but I trade the technicals

I have placed an order to go long at about 50% back into today's candle @ 88.40
With a -60 pip stop @ 87.80
T1 = R- = +60pips @ 89.00
T2 @ recents highs @ 93.80
T3 trailing
chart, showing daily trigger and 4H time frame, where entry level can be seen to be fractionally too low!

EUR NZD short (daily)

The EUR NZD has printed a 'shooting star' shaped candle on the daily time-frame indicating rejection of a previous daily swing high level (potential double top)
I have placed an order at about 50% into this candle @ 1.61 50 with a stop just above the high @ 1.62 40 (90pip risk)
Target 1 = R1 - +90 pips = 1. 60 60
Target 2 = recent swing low @ 1. 58 00 (+350 pips R3.5)
T3 = trailing stop to 1. 55 50

Order removed. 4 hour trigger invalidated and daily candle closed bearish formation
next level of interest for a potential long is 1.03 70
 
Re: USD CHF short trigger

T2 hit (@0.9120, +225pips)
stop on last part to 0.92 50 (+95pips)

I am moving my stop right down to 0.91 35 as price has moved very quickly to recent lows and may well find support to start the next 'up wave' from these levels

USD CHF long trigger

Whilst still managing my trailing stop on my short position, the last daily candle closed at an obvious Support/Resistance level (12 pips higher then my ultimate short target) making a reversal pattern (hammer)

So as well as still being short this pair, I have entered an order long 50% back into Fridays daily bar (which is closely aligned to the 4 hour 'hammer' bar printed Friday, embedded into the daily bar)

Long @ 0.90 65 with a stop just below the candle bar low @ 0.90 20 (risk -45 pips)
Target 1 = R1 = +45 pips @ 0.91 10
Target 2 = recent highs @ 0.93 65 (+300pips, R6)
Target 2 trail stop or to 0.99 65
