Hey, Likica thanks for the heads up, I am already in that trade off of the 4 hr and suffering a little drawdown, nice to see that it is likely to work out.

About a month ago you gave me some advice on avoiding chasing trades, mad dog trades as I call them.

Well, I followed your advice and took the time to really notice what I was doing and discovered that I was beating myself up unnecessarily.

In a good market with decent swings I am a genius, unfortunately in the typical narrow range NY session, not so much and in real time I have no way of knowing if it is going to be narrow range day or not.

Trading the NY session the market really teaches you to trade badly the ranges are so narrow and often the session ranges right into some of the Asian session is taken up by one news spike candle, often in the session, there are two or more candles that cover the entire day's range. so in order to get a1:1 R: R ratio, you need to jump in early or you never reach TP, and often if you do jump in early the signal turns out to be an invalid signal. So between a rock and a hard place. So I have stopped trading the 30 min chart for the NY session, just not doable for me.

Moved out to the 4hr charts and that is much less stressful and gives me ample time to consider all aspects of a trade. Unfortunately, the past week has been flat and choppy, euro range for the entire week only 124 pips, AU only 74 pips, tough to get a trade in that narrrow a range.

So I will persevere with patience, once again thanks for all of your hard work on this thread.

Green pips to you

Keith

G'day to you and traders,

It's good to hear your progress, Keith, whether on M30 or H4, as long as you are being consistent with what you do and have time to reflex and review.

Just from what you observed and from my experience, moving toward end of the year, I would not expect big moves nor like to trade H4.

People who trade from H4 saying that trading on that TF give them less stress or stress free, but I found it s not the case for me. If the trade you were in going against you 50 pips and you traded 1 or 2 or 5 or 10 full standard lot(s) , you would feel stressed regardless time frame. ( I don't talk about people trading mini or micro lots here as they are just playing or practising).

Treat your trading as your business and be well prepared and be proactive, importantly, remember to look left but get your mind right,,,, hehehe...

Happy trading!
L

Hey Likica

I agree about trading the 4 hour, that is a desperate attempt on my part to get around narrow ranges during the NY session, I hate the 4 hr, but if NY is going to have 30+ pip session ranges I have no choice, I plan to move back to 30 minute if/ when ranges expand.

I find it less stressful since my risk doesn't change just adjust my lot size, and on the 4 hour, I don't have to worry about getting stopped out by minor news spikes caused by Trump saying something stupid and the tanking USD. I do find it odd to have such large TP levels, given how hard it was to reach TP on the 30 seems even more difficult on the 4 hour.

The big advantage is that the 4 hour gives me more time to enter and I am sometimes using limit orders to get better prices since on a 4 hour there are usually pullbacks.

Still, my preference would be the 30, really hate holding trades overnight, and also there are a lot fewer trades per week so less opportunity to grow the account.

Good, advise look left and get your mind right. One thing I am working on is not getting attached to bad outcomes, always found it really maddening to get stopped out by One pip or miss TP by one pip, now I try and just let it go.

thanks again, I'll keep you and any others interested updated on my journey.

cheers

Keith

I m trading from M30, so all my attention are on M30, zoom your chart in and out to see any major S/R, I don't look at indicators on H4 for my entries but M30.
Tips for the day: if the pair you are paying attention to currently at overbought/oversold, change your focus to its relatives instead, as you might be able to get in the ealy ride, while waiting for that pair to be ready for your entry.

Hi Thomi,
I was not avail until now.
Always ask yourself these questions:
- 1st: S/R (location)
- 2nd: price and indicator

From your chart, I would not get in a buy as I could not see if any S/R, and for a trade against trend and against DOL,

I am surprised you entered a trade at that time there were 4 red news events on the USD, fortunately, they were USD positive and that drove the euro down.
do you have a strategy for entering trades around these types of news events? In general, I avoid them too much noise, and of course miss many trading opportunities.

cheers

hello likica,

May I ask you how are your lines represented by the red arrows?
Is it you who drew them?
And what UT do you use to draw them?

They are the weekly fibonnaci pivots drawn by the Auto-Pivot_plotter indicator you should find in the first post.
