Price Action Swing Trading - The PAST Strategy

[stuart1984]

HEre is an update on GBPUSD for me. I am a little bit annoyed with myself, I took another entry this morning and everything was going well but i saw a bullish hourly pinbar at a daily support level and I exited both my trades for a cumulative profit of about 145 pips. There were a couple of reasons I did this, the daily support level and the rising daily trendline, seen on my chart in green. Both my trades were at BE and so I should have let them be. However, I am happy to have made 145 pips and I am also pleased that I controlled myself from jumping straight back in when it started looking like price was going to move down again. I will now be watching for opportunities to get in short again after a bit of a retrace, see chart:

Hi Stuart,

Luckily yes! I didn't move the stop to BE which turns out to be lucky for once!

I'm just waiting to see how much damage the retrace does!! at the moment I'm 10XR/R.

how about you?

My USD/NZD looks like it gona get stopped out before the budget announcement tonight.

I also got in on the EUR/CAD @ 1.4968 but its just stalling at the moment.

I have also added to my existing EURCAD position today but price has not made much of a move. Going to try and get to BE soon:

Nicely done Russian30. I am out of the GBPUSD now as per my post above, I got nervous around the daily support area. I still think that this has further to fall and so I'll be looking to enter again if I see an opportunity.

I hve also just exited one of my EURAUD added positions for a profit of 284 pips with my original position now at about 680 pips profit (i'll be holding onto this position for the long run - if we get any more!!!)

The AUDUSD looks like it might finally be ready to turn, keeping my eye on it over the next couple of days after last months bearish PB.

Great video Stuart!! I'm looking forward to your next one. I think its a great way to contribute to this thread.

It's weird to see you having almost exactly the same trend lines as me. It makes you wonder just how many people are trading the same prices. I suppose it strengthens the argument that technical analysis is a self fulfilling prophesy.

Great Stuff

who would be interested in starting an instant messenger group for PAST trades? we could use whatsapp.

I've noticed that its quite hard to follow the forum in real time when people are posting during the day. Especially when the email notifications are delayed or don't come through at all !!!

I think it would be easy and helpful to discuss the markets in real time especially for entries and exits and the like?

 

[russian30]

Don't get me wrong, the forum is great for post and pre trade analysis buy IM would be better for real time stuff and general market chat during the day.

Thanks Russian30, I will definitely add some more moving forward.

I think this is a great idea, and would be happy to make contributions to any IM group when I can.

Let me know if you want to go ahead and we can share details

Hey guys

I made a quick update video discussing EURAUD, EURCAD, GBPUSD and AUDUSD. Some conflicting signals across the timeframes so here is my take on it.

EURAUD

 

[anukrh]

its fantastic strategy, my one query - when we ensured a strong sell/ buy signal in Monthly/Weekly anchor chart and opened an position then i should keep open that position till some new opposite sell/buy signal to appear at anchor chart , till then i should keep in old position continue which i opened ?
or i should rather then keep open one position i should keep close open many positions whenever any trend line break ?

pls. clarify it.
