  2. the reason in p/f terms to say the chart had got very bearish
    i increased the box size to 80 points to condense the price action.the top that was made on 14 jan 2010/where you see 14 on the chart.the downward column afterwards never had a vertical count activated.however,if we look at the top from 23 april and downward column,starting with 4.there is an activated downside count 8400 region.this got activated on thursday
    lots of support areas between 9200-10000

  3. eurusd hourly
    28 pips by 3 reversal hilo plot
    price has a possible 100 pips to go before it reaches major resistance/the main downtrend line.we are at the 50%retrace from the latest low pole breakdown.also the bounce from 2180 area
    there are a couple of bearish downside counts ,and also one upward,just about intact.it looks to be one hell of a move to break that resistance

  5. To HG or any other Investor RT users -- what exactly does it mean to set your P&F chart to a period of "1 minute"? Ninjatrader 7 (beta) also does this. I thought P&F charts did not have a time variable.

    Here's a link to what I'm asking about:

    Thnx

  6. There is no time element when tick data is used. When tick data is not available the next best thing to use are one minute charts. This is time being forced upon you, but often it provides a different perspective that could prove helpful. I like to use different time periods to develop targets. You can often find meaningful targets by changing the time period and making comparisons.

  9. tin hats on for this one..eurusd chart just turned ultra bearish
    no wonder the stock market sold off today
    eurusd ..hourly data
    28 pips by 3 reversal .close plot
    there are no bullish upside vertical counts,there are only downside ones/black lines /vertical
    there is an inkling of an upside vertical count.the latest up column.below the purple line/vertical.we need to see if this gets bullish,otherwise,it get fully bearish from that possible upside failure
    lets see how this plays out
    not good for stocks
