100 pips in Cable today

Posted on May 4, 2009 at 6:21 in Market comments by David Aranzabal

Today we had a good trade in Cable at the London Open. This is the set up:

- 60 min chart: MACD divergence just before the European opening.
- 5 min. chart: Price breaks the Asian channel before the Frankfurt open (I missed it)
- Second chance: 5m. Top formation for 1 hour. Trendline broken. Entry signal. Stop above previous swing high.
-Target: 1.4850 (21% retr. previous leg up in 60 min. and round number and close to previous 60m. swing low)
- Result: 100 pips for the pocket (Not full size as I use partial profit techniques)

    Shaun,

    If you zoom in to the 1 min. chart you’ll realize that the trendline is the same in both charts (5 and 1 min). I selected the 5 min. for the explanation as we can see much better the global picture in the chart.
