{quote} How do we know when market trend? When market trends it candlestick hardly crossed bollinger middle band. Check the movement of the price before and immediately the US election. When we compare it we could see and judge. Good luck

Am still building discipline by not adding positions to the running pairs. When I get in on the daily setup, I stay away from taking more positions when either the weekly or the monthly form their setup. Instead I use them to hold on.

The 11th June was closing below the middle band on the weekly chart while the daily, 12th June closed strongly below the lower band. Great movement,over 455 pips {image} {image}
Hi 9J,
Please excuse my inability to understand how to apply the weekly vs daily candle closings. YES, I have read from beginning and have watched each of the posts as they come thru. I would like to use your recent USDCAD posting as an example. Here is my problem: We look at the 12 June weekly close and see that it has closed below mid-band (that candle does not close until 16 June). Now, after the 16th, we go to the Daily to see if....and this is where my confusion may be...."ANY" candle during the week has closed below the lower band, or at the end of the week the Daily candle has closed? In this case, if any one of the Monday-Friday candles has closed below the lower band, we could/should enter a short trade? I guess my confusion comes when I see that I missed some of the downward move by waiting for the weekly candle to close (in retrospect of course). I do appreciate your patience, but once I understand the logic, I will be able to apply discipline to this strategy.

I often use the word " Closing and closed".That weekly candle you pointed out opened on 11th June above the middle band. While it was gradually moving towards the across the middle band, the daily closed below the lower band. Then opportunity to join, even when the weekly is yet to close at the end of the week. I use the word "closed" when the daily closed above the lower band on Friday and while the weekly also closed below the middle band on Friday. Any problem let me know.

The reason to get in when the weekly has not closed is the fact that it might be late and so SL may be triggered during retracement before obeying again

You sort of read my mind to my next question/observation: Reviewing several charts, I see that once the weekly candle crosses the mid-band, and then dropping to the Daily to see if that one crosses the outer band, a pullback often comes shortly after. Would it be advantageous to drop to the 4H to get an even better entry point by watching for a pullback in the opposite direction, and then enter in the same direction as the weekly with conviction. Am I understanding correctly?

When using the strategy, monitor strong support/resistance for your exit. I learned a big lesson in my NZDJPY I share at the beginning of this thread. i will be watching my USDJPY long around weekly resistance. If the weekly closes above the upper band after a long time I will remove my TP or widen it. It means that it will be more bullish after the resistance

I have never tried the method. I focus on the weekly and the daily. If you intend to trade shorter TF like 4hr, you use the daily middle band and 4hr upper/lower bands

I decide to use a pending, " Buy Stop" order on my AUDJPY short. As soon as the SL is triggered, the bullish positions takes effect from the same price of the short position SL. The bulls are too strong now and seem ready to break the resistance under which I place my short positions.

For those who love 4hr in taking their positions this strategy is really doing great also. Just checking the daily and 4hr, I found out that while the daily was closing below the middle band 4hr had already closed below the lower band on NZDUSD. If only I could trade 4hr also using high lot to catch some pips

The pair is still doing great on the 4hr. Maybe I will include 4hr in my analyses. That may probably helps me to incorporate it into my trading

What if it were live account with Apari? Watching profit sinking and finally wipe account

Am already short in another platform-GBPJPY

At least 770 pips to 1066 pips down the road. Positive points line up for the short setup. Firstly, price failed to break 147.864 resistance while stochastic was on overbought region. The main and signal had crossed each other and left overbought. Secondly, last candle was shooting star below the resistance.
