A bearish Gartley is forming on the CAD/JPY. So far this pattern is moving very symmetrically in both price and time. The trade would also enter just above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of YZ on the Daily Chart. The Gartley is also obviously a double top. This a well above average trade setup.

We are looking to sell the CAD/JPY if it rises to 84.90 (Point D). Point D is located at the convergence of the following points:

  • 100% Fibonacci retracement of XA.
  • 161.8% Fibonacci extension of BC.
  • AB=CD.
  • 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of YZ on the Daily Chart..
  • If RSI rises above 70.
  • This is a fairly straightforward trade so we will jump into possible red flags that could invalidate this trade. We will watch for long bars in the CD leg. If there are long bars near the completion of the pattern, we will not take the trade. If the pair comes within 10 pips of reaching our entry, does not enter, and reaches T1 before entering, the trade is invalid. The trade is also invalid if the pair falls below 86.50 before hitting our entry.

    To recap, we will look to sell the CAD/JPY at 88.33 with our stop placed at 88.68. Our initial profit targets are 87.81 (38.2% of CD) and 87.39 (61.8% of CD).


      • Daily Chart - Trade would enter just above the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement of YZ.

      • 1hr Chart - Bearish Gartley; sell at 88.33.

    What is social bookmarking?

    Social bookmarking refers to a method you can use to store, organize and manage bookmarks of web pages that interest you. These could be news articles, movie reviews, places you want to visit — any type of web page. The main advantage is that unlike traditional Internet bookmarks that are specific to one computer, you can use social bookmarking to add and access bookmarks from any computer with an Internet connection.

    Another benefit of social bookmarking is the ability to share web pages with friends, family or anyone who has similar interests. Likewise, you can visit the pages that other social bookmarkers share with you.

    All pages within our website include links to social bookmarking websites. These websites are free to use and require only a simple registration. This allows you to capture useful information you find on our website and share it with other traders like yourself. Your GFT bookmarks can become a reference if you have a question, want to revisit a concept that you found valuable or would like to tell someone about GFT.
