EUR/CHF daily chart.

Another death cross.

It might move about 50 pips lower, after that. It could rise.

Thank you both for helping new traders into the business. It is very difficult to be able to be consistent in this business. I started trading online about 7 months ago. Initially I was testing on a demo and then I went real. Working real is just another dimension and I started well but after a month I started making big mistakes and I lost some considerable amount of money. Now I am hanging on and I am in a situation where my first target is to stop the bleeding and following start to produce some consistent small income.

I had some good wins like 3k in a day, but I lost even more than that in one day and it was so painful. I can assure you not experienced traders appreciate the support of experienced people like you. I am not a spring chicken but in this business I am like an entry young man in a job..

Thank you Houtbay and I will look at your pairs and practice them!

Pokerchip have you read the book Trading in the Zone by Mark Douglas? I am actually reading it now and I like it. I think I saw my mistakes written on it and I believe there is some good tips to get out of it.

Today I was testing %R indicator on a demo using EURUSD and USOIL and other pairs.

I went to test USOIL with a 1-minute chart frame (crazy),and you know on a demo I made more than £ 500. Then I thought to jump real (got exited) and instead of starting with USSOIL I took another pair, EURCAD and without studying the pair properly I made a loss (big mistake...) Back with USOIL I cleared my dept and made a couple of hundred pounds using VOL 0.5 for each entry. What I found is that if you entry when the 20MA cross with %R on top and bottom edges you have good chances to get good results on each trade. It just places you at the beginning of the change of direction in each entry, and if it doesn't you can stop it manually. There is plenty of trade on a 1-minute chart....
Forgive my ignorance pokerChip what is the meaning or message behind a dead cross?

Thanks!

The death cross means a stock or forex pair is moving lower.

A golden cross means a stock or forex pair is moving higher.

I do think you are correct. -20 and -80 is the place to be in business at. Buying and selling. I do prefer selling because the price moves much quicker. I like to get in and out of a trade asap.

I also like to get out of trouble quicker than I got into trouble.

I'm short NZD/USD on the 4 hour chart.

Hi Pokerchip,

Fascinating thread and I'm learning a lot. I can't believe I've only just discovered Forex Factory but I'm glad I did if this is the quality of the contributions.

Anyway, I started at your very first post and I'm currently on page 9 or 10 of 749! What I've noticed is you started with your blue box ("jail break system") but a lot of the charts you post nowadays look completely different, suggesting you've changed your strategy.

I would be interested to read the post(s) where you begin to shift your chart set up, how your strategy changed etc. Do you happen to know roughly which page or post # in the thread where you go into this in more detail.

Many thanks

Hello Dxbtrades,
Glad you found the thread. You are correct, I had to evolve my trading system. I was not following the market maker, and beginning to get stuck in many trades. And think that the system needs to change from time to time to keep up with the market maker.

I can't remember when and what page where I starting changing the system. Right now I'm only trading the 4 hour chart for one reason. It's the only chart that can keep up with the market maker. The 1 hour is to fast, and the daily is to slow. The 4 hour chart is perfect.

I'm long on EUR/JPY 129.481

I'm not an experienced trader at all
Would you please share your idea regarding your short? If you do not mind of course

What I see on 1H chart is a divergence for buy, kinda forming batman ears for buy, 800MA might become support for pair.

As mentioned above I'm a newbie in trading and do not see any sell apportunity

Thanks

GBP/USD tried to go higher 3 different times, and failed.

All those buyers to the left are going to be forced to close their trades because GBP/USD is over bought now.

Mondays high, will not apply on the 4 hour chart.

I'll post why. Give my 5 minutes. And I'll be back with a chart.
Patience, let the trade come to you.
Pay attention to the tops. I have marked 3 upper tops and 3 lower tops.

(This only happens on the 4 hour chart.)

I took everything off the chart so it's clean and you can se it better.

All 28 pairs no the same exact thing.

Going to sleep, good night.
