About Art of the Chart

Art of the Chart Author I'll be scouring the charts for "actionable masterpieces". These will be signficant chart patterns or set-ups that I feel are not only tradeable, but also have a high probability of making big profits with little risk. Whenever I spot an "actionable masterpiece", I will post an annotated chart (my chart art) along with an explanation. My goal is to help you learn how to spot these low ocurring but highly profitable "actionable masterpieces" yourself.

Sell USD/CAD

This loonie pair has been trading upward in a nice ascending channel. With bearish divergence now present and price facing resistance around the 1.0200 handle, I look for it weaken back to the bottom of its channel.

USD/CAD, 4-Hour

I’m going to short now at 1.0190. My stop loss (SL) will be 1.0230. My profit target (PT) will be 1.0110. As usual, I will post any trade adjustments in my comments section below.

SL: 1.0130 ? Is this OK?
may be it should 1.0230 ??
Ooops. Thanks for pointing that out zhivko and nemoz. Typo fixed.
Is there any reason that you prefer using stochastic to other indicators like MACD, RSI and so on?
hi appreciate the tips. any short time frame ones coming up? 15 min, 30 min?

@ujini1: just a personal preference. any oscillator would work.

@hypnos63: i would like to post shorter time frame trades but they are difficult to post in time. because i have to write my rationale for the trade and label charts, by the post my entry has usually triggered.

so FxNinja, what do you think the trend is now going to be? it never went below 1.155 since your post. thanks.
ok on Time frame forexninja, will keep fingers crossed for 1hr and 4hr then. keep up the good work
nemoz, i'm still in it to win it. =D
I still believe price is headed down. Price has closed under the 50% Fib retracement of the channel (dashed light grey line). Hopefully that'll hold as resistance. A nice little gravestone doji has also formed on the 4-hr chart after price bounced off 1.0150.
this kind of sucks, i put my stop loss at 1.196, the pair hit 1.1198 and dropped to 1.125 eventually then back up in .160's.
hi forex ninja US CPI comes out today.if bad will dollar decline against GBP? how will it affect USD/JPY?
The pair sank as low as 1.0123 but reversed and stopped me out. A 40 pip flesh wound. Ouch.
@hypnos63: Unless core CPI comes out much higher than expected , I don't see this release having a major effect on the dollar. Big Ben Bernanke already said his main concern is the slowing economy rather than rising inflation. Even though inflation is high as mofo, the Fed still wants to cut rates, bowing to market pressure to do what it takes to prevent a recession (which by the way is too late because we're already in one).
