Week 13 GBPUSD Big Picture

Below is one of my plans if price broke low in coming week(s).  i.e. I would plan to sell on every rally.

ok... correction.  "Every" sounds too certain.  Main plan is to sell as long as bearishness is sustained.  :-)

Hi Peter,

If you are trading breakout at this level, then odds are not with you. Also, note that support and resistance is not a single value. It is a zone.

Even price were to break low eventually, it still can retrace back to 1.6100 region

Cheers,

Hi Eric,

Right now I am still trade with paper trading. Still learn here and there before having live trade.

Basically, I plan trade like this:
Sell GBP/USD at 1.5940, stop loss 1.6110 and take profit at 1.5760.

I take stop loss 1.6610 because I found that price will continue up if it break 1.6610. However, take profit at 1.5760 because there is support on 1.5725. The risk/reward ratio is 0.95.

I am using daily and 4 hour chart in this trade. I not sure the way I trade correct or not. Correct me if any problem in my trade. Thanks.

Thank you for sharing.

Regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

GBPUSD is in a trading range that started about 8 weeks ago. Your plan is not practical as market has not given us the fact it is going in a new direction.

To learn how to trade, reading of the market is one of the first skills you need to pick up.

Cheers,
Eric
