Starting to make the transition to trading off the daily, the time has come. Have tired of the intraday crap and am liking spending less time in front of the screen. Not to mention these damn screens have blinded me. Less is more, I've been saying it for years, now actually starting to see that its true, at least for me.

Anyway, this is a spot to post your daily levels, ideas, observations. I know people post them elsewhere, but you have to sift through a gazillion short term charts most times.

By no means do I suggest, or subscribe to the idea that trading off the daily is better than any other time frame. Nor do I scoff at those who chose to trade short term. The daily is just as big a pain in the ass. Just that there are less trades to get involved in, and that, for the moment makes me happy.

So, lets keep it simple. Daily charts, ONLY.(Weekly and Monthly appreciated also) A couple of spots your looking at, or considering doing something, and that's it. No need for all the gory details. No need to follow up on what the hell you did, or didn't.

2 patterns of market behaviour happen ona regular basis:
a) price will either breakout of the high, low or both of previous bar
b) price will not breakout of the previous bar
that's the TA reason whay i'm sorthing my country currency.
the fundamental reason is that british economy is better than my country economy and i have a FEALING even from 3 years from now this trend will persist

the catalist that made me took the trade: after almost 3 years i;m back in romania and i just see with my own eyes the corruption and other bad things, it;s a very poor country
(some time ago used to be a lot of whores in my town but now they are gone in different countryes because there are very fee guys that can afford them)
some time ago buying high ranking politicians was like 150k-1 million euros, now with 1 million u can buy 3 or more politicians

most of retail traders are trading intraday (they belif in the illusion of small risk, but the reverse is true) if they will do proper research they will find out that some patterns on 1h charts will have same volatility on daily charts.

from time to time i will make some counter trend bets (maybe i take 3 to 7,8 trades per year like that) but risking less than when i'm following trends.
on this tipes of bets i'm willing to go only Long on USD and shorting some whortless currecncies, or going lond in commodities markets (corn, sugar, copper eg.)

but even like that, it;s not that i'm going long at the low (the market it's bearish, nobody can pick the exact bottom/top and markets can stay irrational more than i can stay solvent) i'm going long when the percived short term trend it's bullsih (you see, even trading counter-trends in fact, at the very basic of trading you are doing trend trading).
this is how i'm doing it: after an extensive bearish trend i will look for 3 consecutive bearsih days (or u can look for only 2 consecutive bearish days) the last 2 bearish days in the setup shoul be also the lowes bars in 20 respectivly 21 days, if next day price is breacking the highs of the last 2 candles i'm going long.(if not i just ignore the setup)
the exit is tricky
p.s. from time to time i will go long also CHF (yes the swiss because even dirty money from drug trafficking to human trafficking are flying to that country)

Like I said, I've traded short term for a long time. I have nothing against it, how could I, I made my living on it for decades. But now I'm interested in spending less time at my desk.

I should also say that whilst I'm transitioning to daily levels, and set ups, I will be looking to exit trades, at profits or losses quickly. I'm not just going to sit in stuff, well at least not my whole line, for ever.

And yes, exits are always tricky. Getting in is easy by comparison I'd say.

Interesting method there, looking for the over stretched market.

Looking at AUDUSD.

Thoughts?

Now...where's KenFen?

Getting there on the Denny's angle...got some pocket cash coming from consistency on a couple of the EAs now...

Last 30 days - 7 pairs.

Not huge, but on a few accounts...will definitely cover a GrandSlam!

yes, nice setup. i will go long only if price will break that high today. (in another account i'm short usd/chf will be like a hedge but if the long will fail i will double my short position if i will find some setups or catalist for doing so)

in times like this, with the pressent world economy, that spy in uk, the problems in syria,ukraine, iran, saudi arabia (problems that they have inside the country, oil prices, buying weapons from russia) and the coup in turkey and turkey a nato member buying weapons also from russia, trade wars and taxes betewn us, eu, china an everyone, china starting trading the petroyuan, US trying to persecute a bank from UE and also an nato memeber.

peoples are rushing to parck money in safe places, in uncertain times safe places are US and Swiss (and in a small part Singapore)
this will be nice to watch, how the money will vote.
