What is this pattern? - See all chart patterns
Why is this significant?Broken bullish trend line could provide new resistance.
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?N/A
Reason for Strategy
We updated both the entry (1.2985) and the stop (1.3220) on this trade although it is the same basic idea that has been posted for the past two days.  We rose our entry from yesterday because the bullish trend line obviously moves up over the course of 24 hours.  The broken trend line could provide new resistance near 1.2985 if that level is tested in the next 24 hours.  
Trade Invalidation
The trade is invalidated if the trade does not enter by 6pm eastern time tomorrow (9/6/2010).

Why is this significant?Five separate levels of resistance line up near the same exactly level (1.5490).
What other indicators or Fib Levels support this thesis?61.8% of YZ on the 2hr Chart, secondary ABCD within the primary CD leg.
Reason for Strategy
A bearish Gartley/double top is forming on the GBP/USD 30min Chart.  The pattern has excellent time symmetry and is currently showing good time symmetry as well.  Additionally, the trade would enter near 61.8% of YZ on the 2hr Chart, and there is a secondary ABCD pattern forming within the primary CD leg.  The only cause for concern is if we see a gap up over the weekend, so don't put this trade on until after the market opens on Sunday.
Trade Invalidation
The trade is invalid if the pair drops to 1.5410 before entering.

Reason for Strategy
Our bearish Gartley trade from yesterday won, but I would not have taken this trade (and didn't on my LMA account).  The reason is that Non Farm Payroll gapped the pair up almost instantly to our entry and that momentum almost immediately knocked the trade out.  It ended up winning, but I don't think this was a high percentage trade because it entered right after NFP came out.

We have drawn a new bullish trend line on the USD/CHF 30min Chart.  If this trend line breaks next week and the pair rises back to the broken trend line, this could result in a solid opportunity to go short in the context of the bearish channel on the 4hr Chart.

This is another example of a pair breaking out of a channel, rising back to the bottom, and seeing new resistance.  While this even occurred between reports, hopefully some of you caught this on your own because I have written so much about this topic.  Also, it appears we may be forming a range on the Daily Chart.

After it looked like the NZD/USD might not see support at the broken bearish trend line, the pair rallied.  This was a sloppy reaction, but it still technically would have worked.  Regardless, we will go onto the next trade idea next week.

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.
