{quote} No trading for me today but I hope to invite experienced comment on my charts. Not sure what I am doing here but here are some charts ( Dax and Cable) where I try to make sense of the open of the UK session. Grey circles on Cable are proposed 1 minute trades. Road map is still key but may be triggered earlier by UK open line action ? {image} {image} {image} {image}
But seriously ...

With the changing of the session box came a quick rethink, still using the same principals. Wednesday was the final test day of these changes.

Some quick descriptions of the chart and my main changes.

Since I trade in SBurke's session gap during the US and Asian sessions I will sometimes go to the start of London or the EOD in the US. With the change in the session box size and start times I changed the parameters for the sessions.

1 - The Close-Open session.
2 - Asia
3 - London
4 - US

A - where I go flat.
B - 1700 EST NY close Works well on this GMT+2 chart. 0000 chart time = 1700 EST. No Sunday bars. This is the time zone all charts should be.

The equity open 90-minutes. Each session high and/or low is usually created in this period. While Blue and many others use only a 60-minute box for the session open, I can see advantages of the 90-minute box.

C - Asia
D - London
E - US

You can clearly see how the session boxes define the rest of that session. This fits perfectly with how I view the market. The day is broken into these 4 main portions with each one leading into and being the base for the following session. Then the US session defines the next day. The Close-Open period is the no go zone on the chart. and is often a range into Asia.

Yes -I am ignoring this afternoon. I am pretending to the wife that I am researching. I'm really eating choccy biscuits and drinking tea whilst surfing a couple of threads.

Just looking.One thing I noticed was the 75 line (top right) -noticed price action, pins etc around that level. I am still digging into your charts.

It's not specific to that day. Using the M15 gives you clear look at structure. Price levels are easy to see. Combine this with the M1 for entry. Then I throw in my secret equilibrium theory sauce and BAM! we have a system/method.

Think on terms of how I laid out each session and how the start of each session, for the most part, establishes the high and/or low of that session. Each session sets up the next session. The US session sets up the next day.

As far as funnymentals, other than the red data releases I do not concern myself with any of it for trading.

All this was set into motion at this point:

then went to it's current state after Kev posted (again) his session boxes.

{quote} After the trades I slipped on your 20 & 100 emas to see where they fell and, (I didnt use the 300 as these two showed me what I needed, nice work Mark) Well, interesting for sure. Keep at it, FOR SURE you see something, I’m looking forward to see where your thread now flows here. . {image}
To All the participants of the thread,

Please shed some light on 20/100 ema VS 50/200 ema. Does one of the combinations give us an edge/advantage over the other or it purely depends on the individual's liking? if you were using the MA, which one would you have preferred and why?

The ema I use is 20-period. On the M1 chart I then take multiples to get a dynamic representation of the 20 ema from the M5, M15, and H1. That makes the periods 100, 300, and 1200. The H1 is the "overall trend".

Most of the talking heads use a 50/200 MA. To use MAs and how you use them are up to you.

MA periods are just part of using MAs. I have put forward some of my thoughts on this in previous posts.
Mark ... Either you understand or you don't, and that is that.
I use the 9 , 20 and 72 LWMA . . Recently observing the 100

Tom's latest video. Mostly psychology but note the charts and how he analysed his losing trades. For example, he discovered how a "Pin Bar" analysis helped in future trades.

Hi FXP,

All I can say is it's not as simple as that. Questions need to be asked and answered by yourself first. Why? What? How? etc. Smoothed, exponential, simple, weighted, etc. VWAP, HULL, Guppy mma etc. Why ema? Why not fibonacci periods like 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 etc.?
I use 13,50,100,200,800 ema on all timeframes I watch.

Then there is this guy:
