Nice vid. Here a guy calls it an Initial Balance, trades it on USDJPY and uses it all day long,

Buy low, sell high.

Initial balance is not exactly the same thing though it is useful to understand what goes on over those time slots.

I've even got an Indi for it somewhere.

Dennis really knows his stuff.

{quote} I've heard about the wonderful world of Japanese delight, i.e. Ichi. Have been waiting for a faithful friend, a Greek Kharon, to lead me over there into the country of the Rising Sun. Is this the thread? https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=583609 Would be good to release all that hidden treasuries in your head ;-) Surely, many would benefit. Should we start with where you usually enter? I figured Mr. T and you prefer breakouts after failed attempts in[/highlight]...
Yep, that's the thread.

Rocky shows a specific way to trade the cloud and Mr-T follows that path - at least initially.

The simplest way is, as you say, short below, long above and I will use it as a way to judge overall bias, often on a higher time frame. It's a very straightforward indicator in a sense, as price is very obviously either inside the cloud or not.

That being said, my entry will track across from my other methods and involve pullbacks and momentum, Z-Lines and Wicks etc. It's all about layers upon layers.

Cable is too "whippy" for me and trying Dax break above "whippy " range ( or "Ugly" chart action as described in another thread)
E/J might be a candidate for a trade?
Dax edit -11166 is new stop...poor price action?

The E/J.....Not traded by me so far.....broke up for ten then dropped back. If still held it would be threatening a stop out for a small loss.

Yeah, it is hard to trade ... tried one for a BO over pivot ... - 10 ... short was the right trade ... maybe it was too obvious lol ... was looking for a chance to test the 1.2840 area. Might better pass on this, it is not high probability ...
Fix up, trade sharp ...

Dax -stopped out - loser -7 pips.
Brent 1 minute price "whippy" - to me at any rate.
E/J drifting sideways on 1 minute
Cannot get a handle on anything -if nothing turns up by ten am I shall stop as usual for the day.
Will sit and wait awhile.
Don't like losing days but they happen

Yeah, might not trade tomorrow ... looks like liquidity is out of the markets for the week.

Here's one for the FTSE fans -not many here, including me, seem to trade it. It was actually a better trade of the bunch thus far :-)

Good you caught some. EURUSD had a nice setup for short at 1.1401, but not filled ... a stop entry would have been better here. The loser on GBPUSD filled though barely a touch at the high of the day ... one of those days I guess ...

Dax = 13 pips profit. ( Gratefully snatched which means it might go lower now)
Cable and Yen are on the move now but I have to go. Mrs T's birthday so we are off out shortly. See you next week.

Last thing - I was writing how I was looking at Brent on demo on the one minute chart.
Just noticed that whilst the one minute was "whippy"- the 5 minute chart shows a tight range ! Maybe the 5 minute should be an overall guide?

Definitely going now -bye and have a good weekend.
