{quote} Oh boy... I am actually proud of being a scalper.. so what? But I bet you don't even know what scalping really means eh.. because I can tell from your tone that it must be a bad thing.. which in my understanding is actually the total opposite.. I wish everyone could become a scalper on any timeframe.. Never forget: One can scalp the monthly or weekly as well.. just think about that in your free time.. it requires a lot of skill.. so don't be jealous please because you aren't.. And for all members.. this is my last drama post.. enjoyed...
People trading daily and 4H charts sit in front of the computer for 8-10 hours a day and watch how the bars form (it must be really fun) and don't understand that others can have different idea how to invest their money...Misunderstand definition of scalpers, day traders, and position traders...don't have basic knowledge of Dow Theory ( 3 trends) and on and on...I am day trader shooting for 30-40 pips/points(futures) per trade and taking the setups from any time frame but I am not ashamed to take 10-15 (profit or loss) if I misread the chart formation. If I take 60-70% of the daily range in 2-3 trades I am very happy camper... Forgive me for repeating myself "Knowledge is power"...That's all I wanted to add to your post Ata, I couldn't restrain myself from being also heard on the topic...Good luck to all types of traders.
Always trade your own plan...I don't provide trading signals.

H1 Status Update

Struggling to be allowed to post on busy Forexfactory servers.. Sighs! I hate it when websites load slowly for no reason.. Anyway..

Be prepared for new H1 candle close below 1.1461.. If it happens then that level will become a new sell area! Don't miss it.. But also keep in mind: Only if current H1 candle CLOSES below that level. (7 more minutes for H1 candle close).

*If not, we simply wait for next candle until we see a close below BLUE TL.. It is not about the price level I am giving to you. It is the breakout level that shifts higher with every new candle.

On a side note: My Linear Weighted Moving Average (LWMA) setting has become 54, Shifted: 2 now.. I alter it according to situation to make it more precise after newer and newer candles form.. Not that important but I personally do update it.. fyi..

Stay Green

i love scalpers , i am a scalper as well, scalping is great

everyone chooses his own favorite style , nothing wrong with that

the question was brought about only because , although scalping is fine , it would be good to have a more balanced approach combining scalping views with intraday and more long term views , that' s all

if we had focused a bit more on more long term views , yesterday many more people would have gone short

I think the chaos now is just beginning. Equity markets cracking, emerging markets cracking. They are blaming Turkey, but the problem is much bigger than Turkey. The problem is $65 Trillion of debt around the world that is priced in US dollars. Basically $65 trillion of shorts on the US dollar. The curren US Fed is the most hawkish(per the rest of the world) that they have been in years. Reminds me of Volcker back in the early 80s. Rates went up to 20% back then, so hard to compare, but point is the US Fed is currently playing with fire raising rates at the pace they are thinking of raising given the rest of the worlds interest rates.

Please be careful everyone. The bottom line is stops work, they prevent the blowups regardless of your time horizon (Scalp, swing,position). I have been trading for 30+ years. This volatility is nothing.

I have no position waiting to sell low 1.1500's or buy upper 1.1300's

Good luck all!

Do not be fooled.
There will be no more breakdown.
the crooks will make one and go to rangebound for the rest of the day to leave you in a position for the weekend
. Do not make the mistake I made for taking Long just under the weekly Pivot

{quote} what a stupid question. its like saying why does anyone trade at all..
I still remember you begging me to help you and I never did because your not a nice guy like Ata. I can see you are still bitter from losing money and havent changed your ways. It's not a stupid question at all. There are other pairs and instruments . It won't kill you to try something else as well, even for some diversification and risk mitigation. Eurusd is not the be easiest instrument to trade so illogical that newbies should only trade Eurusd.

ATA, I know I don't draw trend lines correctly. Though on my H1 timeframe I have drawn the long red TL exactly the same as yours from your previous posts, after I enabled the ZUP, I see that they are not pretty parallel with the purple one. The same for the blue TL. Do you have any setting changed for indicator or it's not necessary to be exactly parallel?

im watching sp500 (dividends time is on) after that sp500 should go down a little bit. i think USD could be weaker.

its russian roulette today for me at eur/usd but im betting LONG on e/d. this side trend is taking too much time! too much!

ATA, ignore my previous post. I just noticed from your previous post what you mean when you said that you've altered the angle of your trend lines. You've altered to be parallel. I'm out today, lost too much.

If your broker has different time zone than mine that could be an issue.. or if I was sharing charts before I updated with ZUP.. can also make a difference.. anyway.. The crux of it is: No it doesn't matter that much.. You will just see the logic where to sell whenever a slighlty angled trendline gets broken.. That's the core idea.. So make them parallel to your ZUP chart.. remove ZUP and Bob is your uncle.. And don't be afraid to slightly alter the lines if you need so.. Just don't make them too steep or too flat.. somewhere close to 37 to 45 degrees..

If lines are too steep: you will interpret all breakouts to happen earlier than it was meant to be..
If lines are too flat: you will jump in a trade much later than supposed where you could get a better price.. Not that wrong but delayed entries make it difficult to put safe breakeven levels..
