Just taken a long on NZD CAD - 123 break and pull back - not the finest of entries though

Watching GJ on the D1 today - would sell a retest of the 123 break at 148.52

The weekly looks like a corrective move that may have now broken to the downside

{quote} Short UCHF at prior supply area {image}
Closed this manually for -0.2 R

Didn't like the way price was grinding up through the supply area + we had a D1 123 break long yesterday

{quote} Yeah apologies, tick charts are still a little rich for my blood. I'm sure I'll join that party soon enough but whilst I'm getting good results with forex on H1, H4 and D1 I'm less inclined to change. I don't want to dilute what you good folks are doing with NA and ticks charts though so let me know if you'd prefer to just keep the thread and discussion to those.
I think you are right to not want to dilute the thread.

Running this on MT4, started today. I'm cheap so I took the freebie for 15 days, it's only $45 anyway.

I must say from my session on the Dax this morning, I'm feeling encouraged.

Hopefully I'll be reporting back with some charts after practice.

I'm not affiliated either. It just works and doesn't screw up my trend lines, so well worth the money for me.

Edit: On the Dow it screws up my trendlines (or rather that is a function of MT4's offline charts). Still I may not need them so I'm sticking with it...

I have used it. For me it was better than watching the mt4 time based chart (but i was watching a much faster time than Clappy on 4hr and D1). It should be good on dax.

I didn't find Dax that fast today, it was perfectly tradeable. And with the Tick charts, I just saw things differently. Might be my imagination but who cares?

Once I have it sussed I'll move to a futures platform. Did set up a demo account with Amp, but from what I could see only MT5 and no tick charts. I tried without them, and had some success, but it's not the same as what is being taught here.

normally we don't really have to worry about news but powell is speaking at 10 and this could influence market trade cautiouslly

AMP work with Sierra, but for continuing demo you need to pay for CME Group data feed (but is only $5 or $6 a month).

Thanks for heads up.

Just got +34 but my shit (trendlines) are all over the shop. Can't work with it so I'm on a mission, just downloaded and looks like it will work in wine on my mac
