Thanks for the indicator mate, great!.....with the horizontal lines that plot positions above below the open, any chance for the lines to go the other way into the day to the right rather than the left? Dont worry if it's too difficult..... Best, J

Hi Emmanuel, Good trading on Eur Friday, I am assuming you took the first trade based on divergence and then the open of the 4 hour candle but what prompted you to enter the additional trade and what methods did you use? Best, J

Interesting discussion, I think (but am not certain!) the answer is to add systems (and I mean thoroughly tested systems not just grabbing a new one of the forums that seem to be working) First you need to have the metrics on your current system ...

EURAUD S3 4H Trade — Some good and not so good luck.....missed the fake down move at the first cross down as I place my orders just the other side of the new 4H bar opens.....got in on the 'bounce' trade short but then got taken out by a 90 ...

Yes, looks good mate although my channel looks slightly different to yours....looks like it might be low risk trade too if the price keeps heading down for the next 2 hours! J

I Only trade AUD/USD of these two and on my charts the TDI was not crossing on the second bar, also the first bar was very 'weak' anyway for my setups, I will take a trade after a doji bar only if the 2nd bar is strong....it wasn't, it was even ...

S3 Equity Curve — For those that are interested in the original X-Man S3 4H Swing Method, here is the equity curve if you took every trade as per the rules (the only difference is I dont trade USD/CHF) from January 1 this year to present ...

I agree Emmanuel every trader has his 'style' so to speak but rules are rules and this is X-man thread and if I am not mistken we follow his rules unless they have changed.....otherwise this is not a thread about X-man system as it is meant to be ...

Hi, Not sure I agree with the analysis here.....we enter at the open of the second candle after the break of the green across the red ( whilst breaking blue bands) all this happened in exactly this order.........the 4 hour and daily trend is down, ...

So EUR/GBP trade was a -1 loss and EUR/USD was a -0.5 loss (exited on reversal candle)....no matter, all part of the game.........keep a look out for bounce trades on both. J

Hi Yogosheema, Yes these all seem to be valid trades, I personally would not take both the EUR/USD and USD/CHF trades as I see them as more or less the same trade, but that's just my rules, yours may differ, dont let me influence you if your plan ...

Good trade mate; what I like the most is how much room you gave it.....in the worst case you would lose 0.5 unit as I imagine you would exit if it broke above the Asian range?........and not being to greedy gives you a much smoother equity curve!

Back to Basics — I thought it might be useful to some of the newer members or those a little confused about what this thread is about if I attach X-Man's original and really very simple rules around the 4 hour method....... I myself have been ...

I only enter if the green is crossing red at the 4-6 , 12-2 angle on the open of the 4 hour bar, on the EUR/GBP trade the second red bar was crossing at the required angle so I entered at the open, there was similar trade long on USD/CAD but the ...
