Hi, Vee. This one is easy to address - both positions have 15pp SL. Position in loss will be simply closed at SL automatically, or both positions could be closed by SL in case of messy PA at D1 start. Rgds, Alexander

Hi, RS. On that tactics of entering right at the start of Daily/Weekly/Monthly open, with certain small SL dependent on pair, I remember Graeme wrote he is using 15pp SL for EURUSD, and at those times when candle forms with little or no opposite ...

That's really appreciated. Otherwise in Graeme's absense thread looks dull and dead. Keep good provoking method discussion. Rgds, Alexander

Hi, Vee. To your list of low-risk opportunities I would add couple more: - trendlines breaks or bounces (S/R levels as well as they're the sort of horizontal trendlines); - "red aura" regions, when price reaches the zone where all TFs became aligned ...

I'm glad you know what you're doing. I'm afraid, many new traders just follow blindly. My point is based on my observations. Statistically, it's not the best place to place trade at the top of the daily candle when daily ATR is made. This doesn't ...

buyers enterred waaay lower and now started to look where to take profit, depending on exit strategy. I don't know who dare to enter on the top of the daily candle, when price already made its daily ATR. It's a perfect "no trade, sit and wait" ...

Maybe it's finally a moment in career to stop looking for news, fundamentals and rest and start looking at naked charts )

Hi, chips. Friday's NFP gave very positive figures whilst market reaction was extremely moderate and this is not the first time I see such reaction post-NFP (Monday's reaction on Friday's NFP data). I also remember that after initial risk appetite ...

Hello, Vee. #1: I think price is more universal and above any artificial boundaries. FX has no pre-market, market open and market close as stocks. Price can make gigantic moves at any hour of any "session". Statistically, during London/US and on ...

Hi, Vee. In theory, the less the ATR of preceeeding bars to engulfing bar, and the bigger the ATR of engilfing bar - serves as better confirmation (actually already as market action, not only confirmation). Logic here is: market stalled, ATR was ...

Hi, Besides practicing, take your time and think yourself about form and size and where you see this or that candle. Think about candle as battle of two forces, wicks just show you about locations where those battles were held, body can tell you ...

Hi, Vee. Indeed, there is almost always a retrace. "Almost" is key word here - many enough times there is no retracement, as candle closed just in the middle of strong momentum. Sometimes I found myself being too careful with not entering straight ...

Hi, mate. In your early reply I saw you said you were trading "fake" breakout on bar 7. If I may.. some patterns are more reliable than others. Fake breakout is not in my toolbox. Why? Low reliability. Low chance of winning. We only want to trade ...

image Few comments on this chart, hopefully you'll not be offended by tone: 3. - Bad trade. Used to entry like this until realized simple truth - in order for pin bar to be a valid signal there must be a preceeding trend with price losing steam ...

Hi Eklavya. I'm not aware of a simple solution, but here I have few ideas to suggest: 1. One needs to decide whether he'll be trading this pair this week or not. If there is clear downtrend - no point trying to catch falling knife. Market must prove ...

Well, and I'm afraid those seasoned traders still were experiencing many small losses in those ranging days, probing carefully here and there. Otherwise how w/o participating would they know beforehand if this day is ranging and one should pass it ...

Hi, Mate, If I may, I would suggest to not be too happy of demoing when last week and a week before were actually "payout" weeks for trend traders on EU, experiencing many small losses for a number of summer ranging weeks before. Can you handle if ...

Hi, Yes, your understanding is correct. The fact of breach is what matters, not how many candles it took for the breach to happen. But in your pic buy setup was not what is called "perfect" setup. That long entry would work in your pic, but in many ...

Hello guys, Imo price is a pure data, actually on stock market it's a reflection of held trades on different price levels. In FX it doesn't reflect actual trades AFAIK, but still price is a pure data, whilst indicators are merely aggregated numbers ...

Hello gents, Sorry for replying in single post. On this I also very curious how momentum creates candles on H1 and H4. My observations draw me to current conclusion that it is very rarely event that all 4 H1 candles within same H4 are of the same ...
