I love reversals that form on failed break they almost always work out. This one was no exception, it had a strmong a decisive break of the 156.00 level.
Personally I fell asleep after 24 hours without sleep and I completely missed this trade. The break happened quite some time after I originally planned to trade it.
You will notice that all the candles were telling us the same thing. Despite the lower lows this was a classic reversal set-up. I will try and write an extensive breakdown of this trade later this week.
Who took this reversal? How many pips did you make?

I grabbed 70 pips on this one. Long @ 156.03 & close @ 156.73, great trade. Thanks Nick.
I agree with you Nick failed break and then reversal works well entry at 155.10, 1st target reached at 156.68 still in moved SL to break even thanks nick
Nick,
I would have taken this too, and gave it consideration but fell asleep waiting for the close of the reversal candle on my platform and didn’t want to set a pending order without confirming the reversal.
This may be a dumb question, but how did you pick the 156.00 entry? I’m probably overlooking that entry point on my 4 hr chart (I trade with Oanda but chart with a 4hr broker)
Another more general reversal question; do you feel safe taking reversal trades that do not result from a scalp break or bounce, but otherwise match a good reversal LWP or group pattern?

Hi Nick
could you explain why you chosed 156.00 as level because it is not so obvious to me.
Thanks
Thanks Nick for keeping us up and posted on this one so closely with the analysis.
I was too tired to trade at the time but reviewing your thoughts helps me be better prepared for future playouts like this. Good job, guy.

I don’t currently trade reversals, but I am interested in doing so.
Can you indicate what sort of win/loss ratio you experience with these trades?
Thanks.
+50 here, but I set it up before I knew you were trading it and got in a little higher at 156.16. I guess I’m still learning how to figure my buffers.
Cheers Nick,
I got 50 big boys on this.
Thanks for all your work.
