{quote} Ok. Here we go. If I'm reading all of this right, I would say that: 1: Candle "C" then went up for some 10 pips and receded through its open @ 12639 ( Black line ending at "G") - Was entry legit for short? Yes, that was a legit entry. 2: Candle "E"... Candle 'E' is a breakout candle. Wouldn't be traded. 3: Candle "F" has a spike of 17 pips and once again taking M-15 into consideration, I took that short at the open of that candle - marked in Yellow. Right. As I read this, it seems like we have 'E' and 'F' mixed up? Can you read the above...

Hi Lemercenaire,
First of all my sincerest apologies for messing up my logic in the first image; here is the corrected version and with questions re-posted from your reply in #3.
#2. Candle "E" is now "F" and the "break-out"-candle - thanks for reinforcing that again.
Would candle "G" open have been acceptable?
The Yellow and Black horizontal lines are extensions of the Openings of their respective candles so that I could ask the question whether Candle "D" open would have been correct taking into consideration that the wick was higher low from both candles "B" & "C" or should I have waited for Candle "E" and take the trade when it crossed the open of candle "C" which is marked in Black.

I do appreciate your time and expertise and respect the fact that you are also a full-time trader.
This morning I was in a quandary with a gap open, but managed to overcome the initial uncertainty timeously.
Enjoy your weekend.

I noticed that also, it seems the asian session is the best. London is also so, so.. A lot of movement and it can go fast in any direction.
Anything above the line is an uptrend, below the line is a downtrend.

Hi Molly. It's not so much that the US session is worse, it is a combination of factors.

In general, it is accepted that the US session will reverse the UK one. This would mean that HOLO should be golden, right?

However, what actually happens is that yes, there will be a reversal but not a complete one. Instead, there is a period that will turn but then price will continue on.

You will see this as a move, pullback, then continuation. UC is a classic for this.

Because of this, the US Open is IMO better for 1-2-3, with HOLO set-ups that come either side of that as better options.

The JPY pairs are great in the US session, as TS shows every single day, near enough, however the move will come at the session wind-down.

Now, of course there will be cases that go against this but sorry, that's why you need to do your legwork and due diligence. Find the ones that work.

Somewhere back in the mists of time, I am sure I laid out how I broke down my day (at the time) and I pointed out that I ran HOLO around the couple of hours after the UK Open and then in the UK afternoon.

You will also get set-ups on the indices at the beginning and end of the day (UK) not so much midday.

It should also be said that all that could change over time, as that is the nature of the markets...they change.

Hi Hercs,

Thanks for clearing that up. Much better

Having said that, I am away for the weekend and am actually posting this from my phone. It makes it a bit awkward trying to read the info, check the chart and type a reply (especially with g****** autocorrect!).

I do, for my pains, have a Chromebook with me and I will use that at some point to reply properly. Probably tomorrow night.

Hang fire till then!

Have a good weekend all. Good to see the contributions.

Who is taking the 10 trade challenge the week of AUGUST 12, 2018?

During the challenge, you are only to trade the same pair.

Beginners do not get to trade multiple pairs until they have mastered trading one single pair.

GREEN PIPS TO ALL.
Cheers!

US Session is when I place most of my trades. Are you trading multiple pairs? If yes, then trade one pair. You'll get the hang of it. And if you did not get a trade on a particular day, then you followed the instructions and get a gold star

I looked at USDJPY all day, no signals (1h / 15m). It there was, let me know. And please post everytime this week, if there is a signal in USDJPY
I'm not completely ready for the challenge, but hopefully will be next week!

Hi Newt
Their could be an opportunity for you today
The 4 hour chart is down, and if you stick a trend line on we seem to be at the top of the range
It just seems to make sense to wait for HOLO set up to sell.
But please don't forget that I am a complete novice as well
Sorry there is no chart to explain it, but I've got to get ready for work, and posting charts is not my strong point lol
What ever you decide to do take care
