Disliked{quote} TT, Do you trade the 1min to get those pre franky /franky trades? I watch them (moves not 1 min) a lot but use them as let's see what the candles do before the increase in trades comes in.Ignored
Mate if I put the whole picture out here it might show the best balance I can't be sure, as it's sometimes the 1min and sometimes not if you know what I mean.
Because I trade essentially the one pair I have the luxury of running 6 TF templates at the bottom of my screen to call up as I wish.
I like to "change" TF view as, NOT just for my eyeballs hahaa staring at one constant view but as it allows me to refocus MY perspective on the bigger price picture.
So 1DY, 4HR, 1HR, 15m , 5m & 1min. The 1dy & 4hr template are same. The 15m & 5m template are same. The 1min is same as 5m/15m with some extras.
But yes the trade before was all 1min but I knew what price had been doing for 3 hrs prior, from an in & out distance not glued to the screen, and was just waiting for price to line up with a (any) structure line at the same time as an RN line for example or an MA that had worked its way into the confluence.
The trade itself was all from a Horizontal Structure Line, and the Line Break, at last lol, by price,
then a re-retest that HELD and did NOT go back above the Line
and then you either trade OR you don’t, up to you at the time in what I can only call 'how the candles are forming/moving' (and that is a long story lol & what I noticed others do while I was either talking or trading with them - they were more experienced).
Hope that helps lol, reading back it seems a bit arbitrary but then I do say I a not a set repeat type trader but a Discretionary Observational trader
(ie whats happening NOW)
EDIT ps lol: I do not draw any narratives on my charts like HL, LH etc I just see them, same with any other structure Lines not on my quarters grid, I dont draw them on my chart.
