GBP/JPY Gartley Pattern - Weekly Chart

Bearish Gartley Pattern has formed on Weekly chart of GBP/JPY.  This may turn into a Butterfly pattern but is worth trading at this point.  Stop-loss is set above 156.71, which is point X in the pattern.  I use the average daily range of the pair I am trading to help determine how far away to place my stop-loss.  Some charting packages call this ATR (Average True Range).  You can leave it on the default setting.  The value usually doesn't change significantly.  ATR(14) = 152 pips and ATR(100) = 177 pips.  See chart.  Happy Trading.  : )

EUR/USD Short trade Update - Still valid - Great Symmetry!

EUR/USD short trade off of Daily chart is still valid (Bearish Gartley).  The time symmetry looks even better now.  See earlier post and charts.  Stop(s) should be above point X.  The FX market may be more volatile from now into Friday because of ECB on Thursday and Non-Farm Payrolls on Friday.  Give the trade room to run.  Manage your risk!  Also, there is a nice Doji candle that formed after the D point candle.
