Example: EUR/JPY 15 Minute Chart (click the image for full size)
The 15 minute chart above is an example of this price action based system in action on the Euro/Japanese Yen (EUR/JPY) pair. The PA indicator provided us with 2 signals, one to buy the EUR/JPY and one to sell the pair. The pair skyrocketed over 200 pips higher after the buy signal. The sell trade at 130.975 is still open.
Trading Rules
Buy trade:
