EURGBP May 16 London Open M15 Counter trend trades are riskier... {image} also USDJPY {image}
EURGBP Week 20 May 16 POMO

when trading M15 you need to have the time and follow the market flow and be in sync with its rhythm,

like a sniper, you need to lay in wait for that moment for all conditions to be perfectly right and you pick a good clear shot at the target. One Shot One Kill

Some of you may recall reading this old post Mar 03,2017 above.

Now see EURGBP M15 chart with the Day candle in its background.
Do you see the Daily Open, High, Low and Close OHLC and its significance as natural support and resistance when there is CONFLUENCE with other perceived support and resistance.

I have had my best week of recent, and hit my targets so have stopped trading.

With special thanks to Emmanuel who is helping me find my edge.

I'm doing top down analysis at the weekend, choosing support and resistance on monthly and weekly.
Following the daily trend with multi entry and exit trades spaced at 0.25 ATR(100).
Using an EA to automate trades in my chosen direction.
Using a profit lock and exiting on M5 TDI cross against. Re-entering on M5 TDI Cross into trend.
Using 2 day look-back stop loss or 1.2 ADR(100).
Entering later on a Monday when trend is established.
Exiting typically on a Thursday when most of the weeks move has happened.
Not being greedy by continuing to push for profit after targets are met.
Not emotionally chasing loosing trades.
Closing some loss making positions early (NZDUSD,GPBUSD this week).

Last weeks results and

{quote} poay attention when you read my post...I did say: "London Open M15 Counter trend trades are riskier..." when you trade very short term like H1 and M15, you can trade both ways, buy and sell in the same day, sometimes even in the same market session when price makes swing high and swing low.
I thought this strategy is about trading H4 or even Daily. AT least thats what Post 1 is introduced about. Or is there something i missed? If you scalp trading for a few pips on lower time frames like M15 or even H1 why donīt you open a new topic for what like that @likicia was doing with "TMS for M30 Charts".

I am completely annoyed by all that different trading approaches based on the Traders Dynamic Index mixed in the topics about about TDI here on FF. Seems like every trader doing it in a different way here, on different time frames with different targets and also different entry setups.

This makes reading through and finding a simple strategy can be followed and repeated a rough task. Its a mess to scroll through a dozens of single posts here to end up with the discovery of that you learned NOTHING

I only showed 2 M15 charts, nothing said ... and you asked 'seriously', why?

Did you check the dominant trend and the D1 charts?

Well I am trading the H4 its 4H short swing and also the D1 chart timeframes.
I use M15 for manual multiple entries and the best entries are during the London session following the established dominant trend and setups.

Read Post#1 again and learn why Big E hates to trade M15, M15 and M30. Becasue he did not like to monitor each trade from start to finish. Back then he did not have trade managers like THV CaveManager and MPTM.

You only need to read his 463 posts in this thread and learn from him and how he traded with the TDI Red Green.
That is the best short-cut in this thread.

You still got your entry and exit wrong.

The best entry is the 2 bars earlier if you know the price action

That red vertical line is where the exit should be when the TDI is flat, hooks back.

The re-entry is when the next H1 bar / candle close. That is when the TDI angle is good 4-6.

There is no TDI bounce seen on your chart.

Many traders still get the different Exit rules wrong.

You must learn to read the TDI conditions and look above for the price action.

Stay in the trade until the TDI cross back in the opposite direction.

Thanks for making this clear. I will read through these posts once again.

Well, I have to admit this strategy is not as simple as it might sound. (looking for a TDI green/red cross and let it go. What would you say are the most other important facts to consider besides the TDI cross indication.

I see a lot of traders here looking at different the next higher time frames before making any trade decision. Like for e.g trading the H4 (looking at the daily overall trend direction and whatg else before). This already feels overhelming to me. Is this essentially needed to be profitable with this strategy?

I give you one typical example.

Now lets say i want to trade the european session mo-friday with the beginning of london opening.

What are the typical preparations from A to Z (triggering the BUY or SELL) i have to do here (waking up about 1 hours before LO).

Looking at multiple currency pairs where TDI is about to give a red/green cross i guess? But how to manage all these extra things on time before making my trade decision. Most of the time so far i end up with taking trades which are in market conditions full of noise, a news coming up or just a small retracement but where i am getting stopped out immediately.

Also i am still not sure which time frame would suit best for me here. Trading the H4/Daily i am probably undercapitalized at all for even if those would produce the most trusted signals according. But i donīt want to trade micro lots here with having one trade per week booking a few cents of profit. I think. Thats a waste of life time.

So what do you recommend to do here? Trading the M30 or M15?

And what to aim for on such time frames when it comes to money management. I see most of the trading possibilities where TDI red/green crossed its moving a few pips from LO like (maybe 15-30 pips before it hooks over to the opposide for the first little retracement)

Means following a long term 1:2 risk/reward ratio. I would have to assume taking profit on 90% of the trades around 20-30 pips and setting my stop loss around 5-10 pips. Well, this would kill me right away i guess. How do you do this? Not having any fixed profit targets / stop losses. Watching every trade manually? Using any kind of automatic tool here? If so, can those trade managers be trusted on a real money account in the long run without having to watch every of these lower time frame trades?

Be patient and follow the current trend up but be prepared when the current trend ends. Strong trends usually do not reverse violently unless there is major crisis affect the various markets.

I see some potential reaction between 111.00 and 111.50 zone... some traders may call this "FTZ" or "FTA".

Hi emmanuel,

I know you do not trade USDCHF but just wondering what you think... Is this a good weekly reversal candle to start sell trade next week? Thank you.
