{quote} Thank you for feedback, Zimbinga! Indeed I should pay more attention to ADX and in all honesty, it wasn't grade A trade, but market is so mixed right now...

No problem - you could also see from H4 RSIOMA it was flat and near the 50 level, which shows ranging condition.

I have just scrolled back through GBP/CHF H4 for the last 12mths. If you look at where ADX contracts and fans out neatly & organised most of those gave a tradeable move. There were a few fakes, but these could be screened because the stos were bottoming or topping.

Have a look yourself and see if you agree....

Its been said before but Alien's set ups work best when there is ADX just beginning to expand from after a contraction.

If you don't have good ADX then price moves are likely to be weaker.

Personally I think it is essential part of the system to make it work.

Indeed, it was flat. I just thought, since Daily RSIOMA is over 80, H4's RSIOMA will follow HTF.

Can't agree more. It's crucial for ADX to fan out for a good move, but most of the times it is mixed and I just can't hold myself from entering when RSIOMA and Stochs showing a good setup, despite of a mixed ADX.

Just went through the charts as you suggested and below are couple of cases when everything is so organized and gives mental satisfaction; all participants of the market cooperate as a single mind to move price in one direction.

In this example price has already been ranging in BBs, it was just a matter of patience to not enter too early and too late. At the red vertical line, Stoch 21 has bounced from level 50 and went towards Stoch 100 for a Slingshot move. Here as you said, ADX fans out perfectly. The blue vertical line would be perfect point to close the trade or at least to scale out, since Stoch 21 started to show divergence...Price kept pushing down, while stoch 21 was climbing.

Attached Image

And here goes another case of a perfect ADX Expansion. Stochs are showing clues as well...Stoch 21 is making Slingshot, while Stoch 8 is making half-X-Cross...DS started to make Slingshot earlier, but for safe trade I would wait for aforementioned factors...I would've gone out at the blue line, since Stoch 21 started to make divergence already, but as Alien told before, "before reversing or retracing price likes to top out twice", so market gave bulls the second chance to get out of the market.

But again, those beautiful setups are rare to happen and I sometimes I just can't hold myself from entering market.

Yes the higher the TF the less frequent you get the beautiful set up (but usually the larger move).

At least make sure H1 ADX is nice before you pull the trigger, that is not rare.

Bottom line is you need the discipline to wait in trading until set up is high probability.

Joe Dinapoli said about divergence: "Don't use an Oscillator to price divergence as an entry technique, unless you have an excellent means of filtering it. Even for the best of Oscillators this can, and often does, spell disaster, particularly for the new participant. Price and Oscillator divergences abound, and the market continues to stop out the divergence players. Looking back in time, you're sure to find divergences that work, but when you're going forward in time, as in real trading, the accuracy of this technique just isn't there." A kind...

This is true, it would need something like the DDS to filter tops and bottoms.

Great article. Enjoyed reading it.

This part especially: The best trades are obvious, they almost “talk” to you and tell you to trade them, once you know what you’re looking for this will become apparent to you.

Thank you for sharing. I suggest everybody to read it.

Divergence Work great but it must be used with a filtration system, in DDS compression its a great sign of a changing market. i have a question for you alien , did you ever get a look about volume & Spread analysing ? Im a big fun of your system And i noticed that its very powerfull using with VSA , you can predict the mouvement of the price with an uncredible précisions. But the most amasing things, its that this system its showing the trade taked by market maker ( smart money ) if used volume with it , its like if this system its based on it

Hey fellow Aliens, In need for your review, since my eyes can't see something what you probably will. Recently went long on GBPCHF. To me seemed promising. {image} Seemed to me that Daily stoch8 is preparing for SS, while H4 was starting its X-cross. It seemed pretty legit. Nevertheless... {image} Here am I now. I'm journalizing my trades to get better, but now can't come up with any legit reason, why price dropped. Could you, please, help me on that? Thanks.

Correct, NO ADX fan = no power = no movement in PA = why trade a dead horse.

Just an overview:
"The EUR/USD pair created a bullish outside-day at the key support of 1.1432 on Friday, signaling the pullback from the Oct. 16 high of 1.1622 has likely ended. However, a double bottom bullish reversal would be confirmed only after the pair has found acceptance above 1.1622. The pair bounced from 1.1432, the second time the pair recovers from the level this October, as investors are not ready to go long full-mode in the greenback again. European equities were under pressure as tensions between the EU and Italy dominated the headlines, following comments from Italian PM Conte, who said that he sees no need to change his governments' 2019 budget. However, solid earnings among US companies partially offset the negative tone ahead of London's close. The US released Existing Home Sales for September, which fell by more-than-expected, down 3.4% from a month earlier.
The GBP/USD is trading near 1.3075 heading into London's Monday market session as investors await further details on Brexit talks between the EU and the UK, and rising concerns of a no-deal Brexit could see the Sterling take a thorough lashing in the weeks to come. Sterling pressure by lack of progress in Brexit negotiations, not all hope lost. The failed Brexit summit has put back on tap the risk of a no-deal Brexit, with the Irish border still at the eye of the storm. Over the weekend, UK's Brexit Secretary Raab spoke about the possibility of extending the transition period past December 2020, as an alternative to a backstop, angering Brexiters."
