Oil Futures chart.. No trades that I would want to be in on this chart, just showing thought process.

I like 5m charts, couple of years ago 3m were great then I started having issues with them. Amount of trades depends on the day, some I can take 3 trades some days I cant find any. SL depends on the market, if the day is volatile I risk less capital ...

Can't stress this enough. My trading jumped forward leaps and bounds by watching for confirmation bars. If you look at your chart you will see it still isnt perfect but using proper money management being profitable becomes a lot easier.

Gold.. Same setup as the oil chart I posted.

Didnt trade this I wasnt prepared for a rally. But the VSA setup was there.

Im making these numbers up, I have no idea what of what they really are. Lets say youre a GoldmanSachs trader and you have 100M USD to trade EU with. Forex works off supply and demand so there are only a limited number of lots at price 1.1055. Lets ...

Take a look at the background selling Just imagine this setup as upside down to help you see how down bars can be both selling and buying. You see how the background selling is in fresh new ground? there isnt anything in the background for it to ...

Just my view on your question, hopefully HG still posts his response. Actual charts are easier to explain and general questions like these are difficult to answer. But from what I gather from your question if the market is trending down, IE making ...

Not the cleanest setup.. But its there.

Didnt trade either of these, I focus on gold/oil futures these days. But 2 great setups on UJ and both essentially the same setup. Red setup with confirmed stopping volume then followed by a confirmed hidden test. Yellow is exactly the same ...

A lot of differences, like I said you have to be really careful.

I am assuming you are looking at different contracts? The first 2 screen shots say NIFTY15JUN8500CE, the 3rd one says NIFTY15JUNFUT. The volume on 8500CE looks good. The FUT is bad. The bar I marked in yellow is the tip off. You had stopping volume, ...

You have to love these trending markets. Look at daily of GU, lower lows and lower highs. 5m chart, 10 minutes after LO. Hulls is down, this high volume bars tries to go above the previous bar but fails and closes on the low. The next bars closes ...

I am heavily biased against stocks in India. There are have been a number of people who have posted charts of stocks in this thread and so far Ive only seen stocks that price was heavily manipulated. The charts would have these massive massive ...

I am sure Hiero can still explain his thinking behind the bar with the red arrow and bar C. First you have to be careful with the Indian exchange, the volumes are different, they don't look right. Second is look at bar C, what is it testing? Its in ...

For the most part you are on the right track.. But, look at this daily chart. Do you see how just about every bar since May 15th is making a higher high and a higher low? Now go back to your possible short entries on 1h and see if you still want to ...

You have to watch and see how price reacts to SOS/SOW. Does the next bar confirm the SOS? Is price staying above or below the SOS? Are the test succeeding or failing? Is price trending up? Down? Or sideways? That AU chart has a SOW (described in ...

Nice AU charts with examples of absorption volume. image AJ chart, 98% sure I am going to lose this trade. Could have been avoided if I waited for the UT on daily to confirm. image

I really hated to read this post. But I understand your decision. We have all seen bad times and good, you have seen mine for sure. GL to your future endeavors and hopefully you don't mind if I send you an email every now and then.

This is the last one.. 1: Stopping volume, next bar closes down confirming. 2: 2 bar reversal 3: Confirmation bar of the 2 bar, but it looks like a test. Probably good to stay out of a position. 4: Not a strong reaction to the test, next bar closes ...
