NZD/USD and GBP/USD on watch for me today.
NZD/USD:
• If price pushes up to and ideally just above our rayline I'll be waiting for a convincing impulse back down below our upper trend line, where I'll be looking for a reduced risk entry on the break of a subsequent tight flag.
• If price only pushes up to and ideally just above our upper trend line I'll still be happy to wait for a convincing impulse back down, where I'll again be looking for a reduced risk entry on the break of a subsequent tight flag.
• If price pushes up to or above our rayline and then it impulses back down convincingly or not I'll not be looking for any entry on the break of a subsequent flag, if the flag forms either through or above either our rayline or our upper trend line or through both.
• If neither of these setups present themselves then I will simply wait until another setup which meets my plan materialises.
• If there's any ambiguity then I will not place any of these trades.
GBP/USD:
• If price impulses back down convincingly below both of our raylines I'll be waiting for a tight flag, where I'll be looking for a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag.
• If price impulses back down convincingly below both of our raylines I'll be waiting for a tight flag, where I'll be looking for a reduced risk entry on the break of the flag and if the flag forms just below our lower rayline then I'll be hiding my stop loss above it for extra protection as illustrated.
• If price impulses back down convincingly or not I'll not be looking for any entry on the break of a subsequent flag if the flag forms either through or above either of our raylines.
