    thanks for your reply.

    I am using QT with IB data. QT does not draw proper p anf charts. and data is only max for ten days.

    I feel that p and f can make me profitable and I need correct charts. Any programme which can use IB data or another which will not use IB data,

    Thanks

  6. EUR/USD left 0.5% x 3 and on the right 1% x 3

    At the 0.5% we see a possible triple bottom break, normally a very nice sell pattern but in this case we see a very long reversal to the upside while this pattern was created. What this means is that we can expect a tripple bottom break but there is a very high probabillity that this will be a false breakout and that we will see a reversal and move to the upside. So to trade this pattern, do not take a triple bottom sell but take an upside reversal trade. Yes, the triple bottom can play out but there is a very low probability, I suggest only to take the fake pattern.

    At the 1% we can see that the triple bottom sell patern has played out very nice, you would say that it is time for some more downward proffits and you would expect it to go lower but I think we will spend some more time between the 1.5 and the 1.25 area before we go down. On the 1% we are still in the trade but we look for the 1.295 break if this is not going to happen quick we should take in the proffits and wait for a new trade.
