EURJPY 4H TRIANGLE BREAKOUT TRADESTriangles are repeatable trading chart patterns. Triangles are consolidation chart patterns that can breakout either direction. 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 average volume for a full position size. b - If 75% of average volume then ½ position size. (To find 75% of Volume look at the volume settings on the chart – divide smaller # into larger # = 75%+) 2 - Enter two trades. 3 - SL for both trades will be 1.5 x ATR. 4 - 1st trade TP will be 1 x ATR. 5 - No TP on 2nd trade – letting profit run and adjusting SL to follow price. 6 - When 1st TP hit – move 2nd trade SL to breakeven. 7 - Adjust the 2nd trade SL to follow price. *8 – After Breakout candle – if price closes back into chart pattern close trade *9 - When breakout candle is more than 1 ATR from breakout candle open. a - Enter 1st trade at candle close with ½ position size. b - Enter 2nd trade with a pending limit order that is 1 ATR of breakout candle open. c – Price should pullback to that pending limit order for 2nd trade. d – If Price returns back into chart pattern close trade before SL is hit.

USDJPY 4H SAR/MA PULLBACK STRATEGYPrice previous Bearish SAR MA Setup. 1 - SAR above price showing Bearish move. 2 - Green 20 SMA crosses below Red 40 SMA confirming Bearish move. Now price shows a Bullish Pullback with SAR below the price. Showing Bullish pullback. Waiting for a Bearish continuation move. MA already crossed over showing Bearish bias ENTER WHEN: SAR closes above price. TP when SAR closes below price. Find your own SL. Rule #1- Apply Parabolic SAR system and Moving Average indicators to chart. Rule #2- The Parabolic SAR Indicator must change to be above price candle. Notice how the dots were below the price. The parabolic stop and reversal (SAR) formula showed us that the price stalled out for a few hours and then we are waiting for the dot to appear above the candle. This is a sign that a reversal may be forming. Rule #3- Another element that must occur is the moving averages must cross over. In a short trade, the 20 period moving average will cross and go below the 40 periods moving average. So now the 20 period moving average is below the 40 period moving average. However, something occurred that is notable. The dot then appeared below the price candle. Since the moving averages are telling us that a downtrend is most likely going to occur, we will wait until the dot appears again above price candle to validate this reversal and enter a trade. Rule #4- Parabolic SAR dot must be above price candle AND moving averages cross to where the 20 period MA is below the 40 period MA. Note** One of these elements may occur before the other. The reversal dot can appear before the MA lines cross. Or the Moving averages can cross before the reversal candle. As long as there are both elements, the entry criteria are met. Rule #5- Enter The Next Price Candle… Enter (SELL) the very next price candle after the dot appears above the candle. Waiting for one candle after makes sense because this proves to us that this reversal is strong. The moving averages are supporting the downtrend + the dot is signifying a downtrend. Rule #6- Stop loss / Take Profit The stop loss you will place 30-50 pips away from your entry. Always look for prior resistance or support to determine a stop loss. In our example, a stop loss was placed 40 pips from entry. Your exit criteria are when the 20 and 40-period lines cross over again. OR when the dot reverses appears at the bottom of the candle. This trade would have been a +203 pip profit using the MA cross exit approach. Not too bad. Some will get out of the trade when the dot appears below the price candle. If that was the case, in this example, you would have got +32 pips instead. Still not bad, but +203 pips sounds a lot better. So basically you can use either exit strategy. This trade the downtrend was very strong so we stayed in until the MA lines cross. Determine where you are in a trade. If you are up +100 pips and the dot changes to reversal consider getting out then and taking your profit. Note** Scalpers should not be using a 30 to 50 pip stop with this strategy. Consider your rules and adjust accordingly. A 5-10 pip stop may be more appropriate on that low of a time frame. Rules for Long Entry. Rule #1- Apply indicators to chart Rule #2- Dot must change to be below price candle. This is a sign that a reversal may be happening. Rule #3– Another element that must occur is the moving averages must cross over. In a long trade, the 40 period moving average will cross and go below the 20 period moving average. Rule #4- Dot must be below price candle AND moving averages cross to where 20 period MA is above 40 period MA. Note** One of these elements may occur before the other. The reversal dot can appear before the MA lines cross. Or the Moving averages can cross before the reversal candle. As long as we have both elements the entry criteria is met. Rule #5- Enter Next Price Candle. Enter the very next price candle after the dot appears below candle + MA lines cross and 20 period MA is above 40 period. Rule #6- Stop loss / Take Profit The stop loss you will place 30-50 pips away from your entry. Always look for prior resistance or support to determine a stop loss.

BTC Reversal Or Death!COINBASE:BTCUSD BTC Scared the hell out of all of us last week but it looks like sunshine could be on the horizon. Development of a rising triangle during recovery 4H volume looks like its dropping towards something large 1H volume looks like we have one more "Shoulder of an incomplete Inverse H/S pattern" dip until this larger 4H move 3 Consecutive higher Lows with RSI trending higher in tandem A peak at the ZECUSD chart shows a quick move towards its 4H 50MA with a initial denial but still recovers higher then where we are now with the other alts and majors Zcash could be an interesting leader during times like this as LTC and ETH have done in the past. If BTC breaks the orange line and confirms a 4H + candle above the green, I'd say we are quickly returning to 8k in a hurry...
