Potential Strategy
Sell EUR/USD at 1.5338. Stop at 1.5445. Profit targets at 1.5168, 1.5040.
What is the trend?Down
What is this pattern?Bearish Butterfly - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?Converging Fibonacci levels provide strong resistance @ point D.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?Top of channel on the Daily Chart.
Reason for Strategy
A new bearish butterfly pattern has nearly completed on the EUR/USD 8hr Chart below.  This trade has excellent symmetry, but it is pretty far away from completing.  However, this is the best pattern we currently have to look at.  This pattern would also complete at the top of the channel.
Trade Invalidation
A move below 1.4800 before reaching point D would cancel the trade. Additionally, a move above 1.5445 would stop the trade out. Long bars in the CD leg near the entry would also invalidate this trade. Also, if the pattern comes within 30 pips of hitting the entry, does not enter, and reaches T1, the trade is also invalidated.

If you still don't think stops are a good idea, I present this trade to you.  Not every setup works, and this one broke very hard after initially seeing a little support.  This also shows how you should be very cautious when going against the long term trend.  Regardless, this was a solid trade, and a great example of why stops are essential (especially with this methodology).

Our USD/CAD bearish Gartley completed and has reached both profit targets.  Although there were somewhat long bars, but that is part of the reason why we made CD 127.2% of AB.  The big swings over the past couple days have thrown off any new potential patterns.  We will watch for new patterns to emerge because there is no clear pattern at this point.

The NZD/USD shot down before reaching our bearish trade from earlier in the week.  We have drawn an ABCD pattern that would complete near the 127.2% of BC on the 8hr Chart.  We have also drawn a bearish channel on the 2hr Chart.  We won't place a trade based on any of this yet, but it is possible a trade could be put up next week.
