Hi SuFresh, hope you are enjoying your stay in Turkey.

AUDCAD 30mins chart: example 005 & 006

i ) Price surge that broke the temp high of the day.

ii ) Price came back ( retrace ) to use the broken temp high of the day as support the next day BUT you didn’t enter the next day. You entered 2 days after.

My question is, why didn't you enter the next day, why the day after?


USDJPY 4hr chart: example 001 & 002

i ) Price broke the high [ resistance ] of previous week and retrace back down to find support [ the earlier broken resistance] Does breaking of previous week high even matters to you?

ii ) When price found support it went into ranging for 2 days, you entered at 3rd day at the break of the 2 days range.

My question is, Would you have entered at the break of the high if the ranging was just one day ranging market?

Hi kola8701,

Turkey is a great place, I have always enjoyed my stay whenever I visit. Please see the answers below. I hope it helps and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks.

My question is, why didn't you enter the next day, why the day after?
The question is essentially asking why did you pull the trigger at a certain time verse another. I think understanding each price at a very intricate level is something that many traders need to make a major priority. Look at a currency pair such as EUR/CHF compared to GBP/NZD. How do these prices behave in certain market conditions? When prices range, how long does it range for when prices are explosive how does it behave? How often? What about in trending markets? How do other similar pairs in EUR, CHF, GBP, and NZD react? How are they similar, how are they unique? What are the advantages of trading one pair verse another? Please understand that historical data does not reflect how a price will move in the future, but it is something every trader should understand and have in the back of their pockets, before pulling the trigger.

You see once you understand prices at intricate levels then you can decide of when to enter the market and when to sit on the sidelines. The market is always changing and this is why many traders study graphs. Everything is in the graph.

For that specific question, AUD/CAD was ranging as it normally did at that time. I didn't enter on day one because market conditions looked like the price was still ranging, the price movements were not fast enough for me, and it made it seem like the price was not in a hurry to move. I entered on day two because market conditions changed as you can see from the blue arrow.

i ) Price broke the high [ resistance ] of previous week and retrace back down to find support [ the earlier broken resistance] Does breaking of previous week high even matters to you?
Yes, I do look at historical data and put this information in the back of my mind as I am looking for a trade. I look at the current price and determine how the price is moving in current conditions. Each time price breaks the support or resistance in previous weeks it typically means it is not as strong as before. In other words, if the price has broken the support or resistance multiple times in previous weeks, the price may have an easier time to break through the defined area.

ii ) When price found support it went into ranging for 2 days, you entered at 3rd day at the break of the 2 days range.
Correct.

My question is, Would you have entered at the break of the high if the ranging was just one day ranging market?
I could have. Many factors would come into play. I would look at historical data, I would look at current market conditions to see if the price is ranging, I would determine is there a pattern that is evolving on the charts, I would look at what market (London, New York, etc.) is the current setup being taken place in, etc.

Hi taksistalo,

Glad to hear you are enjoying the journal, I am very thankful. I will continue to be here for any questions and try to help as much as possible.

I will be in Dallas this June. I will be completely booked each day as my visit is only a few days so I will have no extra time on this specific trip. I believe we will be renting a home from Airbnb so I can’t invite just anyone. Maybe I will post some pictures during that time. I will be back in another year or so and will try to plan it out. Next time I will try to stay at a hotel perhaps so we can meet and grab a bite to eat. My treat.

Thanks for creating the journal. Wonderful resource.

I’ve been pulling up your charts, different TF, and going through you explorers. Trying to recognize and follow patterns from what I can see from your charts.

After pulling up a lot of your charts to find what is common, I see you have different patterns you look for to enter your trades.

I’m looking at some of your trades of the weeks, to find exact or close to similar pattern to shot trade off on. When I do this, I see that some work out well and some not. Is there something I’m missing?

“ You see once you understand prices at intricate levels then you can decide of when to enter the market and when to sit on the sidelines. “ I don’t know if you could elaborate on this, to start me off on the right path.

Let’s take a step back for one second. Trading is not as simple as black and white. Some trades work, and some do not. We both know that is just a general rule we must accept. As long as you can analyze and interpret price movements based on what is shown on the charts correctly you should be able to have an edge. The next question that usually follows is how come person A has a higher win rate when compared to person B. I can answer it this way. The difference between someone’s passion in trading can be measured by the hours spent on studying the charts. I hope it helps.

If you spend hours/years studying the charts you will understand how prices move. You will be forced to know everything about the market. I already stated how someone can start doing this after I said: “understand prices at intricate levels”.

"Look at a currency pair such as EUR/CHF compared to GBP/NZD. How do these prices behave in certain market conditions? When prices range, how long does it range for when prices are explosive how does it behave? How often? What about in trending markets? How do other similar pairs in EUR, CHF, GBP, and NZD react? How are they similar, how are they unique? What are the advantages of trading one pair verse another? Please understand that historical data does not reflect how a price will move in the future, but it is something every trader should understand and have in the back of their pockets, before pulling the trigger."

I will state this, my friend. My way of trading may work for some traders and not for others. Some traders insist on having indicators to tell them when to buy or sell. Some traders trade based on historical data by seasons. Some traders trade by moon cycles. I hope it helps.

What else can I say SuFresh, thanks a lot for the reply. I'm going to have to digest it slowly.
I like the new explorer link, I've got a lot of work to do, as I'll need to go through all what you just posted.

I wonder why so many people are not on this thread though, as this is just a gold mine that need to be explored, every bit of it.

Sounds good. I had to take down the Trade Explorer, I need to use it to continue to build funds for my personal accounts, but have the myfxbook images attached.

Few reasons:
I do not typically go outside the forum to let people know about me.
I do not need validation from anyone, so there is no need to boast about myself.
Most traders need an indicator on the chart to let them know when they should buy or sell.
I am here to help anyone if they have certain questions, but I am not here to hold anyone's hand.

Hello Sufresh, Can you please attach the TE for that limited period. I was trying to understand / learn from it? TY
Hi mseaz9,

I need the account to continue to trade and withdraw in my personal account. ForexFactory does not allow me to post an account ending in a certain date range. I can start the account history when I want, but can't end it at a certain date, so it would continue to show my current trades. This is the reason I took it down.

However, I have posted images of my account and trades from myfxbook. I can post the images of the account with the same date range using the Trade Explorer from ForexFactory is that helps. Hope you understand. Thanks.

That's understandable SuFresh as you can't custom set TE end date, unless you change your investor password so as not to have your platform feed the TE new information about your trading (Just guessing).

The images will do just fine as that's what I've been working with.

Hope you're having a great week.
Cheers.
