{quote} In real time of trading I actually considered this earlier one as 2 bar test and RSI divergence. Not sure which one of the two is correct (perhaps both, or neither lol) {image} Alan, could you check and let us know, pls?
You are correct

OK you guys are again missing the poin of what the 1hr chart is telling you.

Price has crossed the EMA so that would have been seen as a downtrend on the lower time frames.

Then it has to make a pull back on the hour to FIND bearish support, so if trading short on the lower timeframe you would hedge this pull back.

The 1 hour has FOUND bear support so it continues south... Take off the hedge and pocket the profit.

Where does it look like it is going on the hour chart... Then take signals in that direction and hedge the signals in the opposite direction.

Hi Alan,

got a question on 2 bar test.

When the next bar did not break the 2 bar test line, do I wait for more bars to form and break the trendline eventually OR do I abandon the current div trade and wait for a new div trade to setup and then enter?

Thanks

G'day mickmac

First off how can this be a two bar test if you are testing 4 bars?

I have corrected your chart but what you should be also asking yourself is the Div is not far from the EMA so would this trade be worth the effort.

If you take the same scenario on the 1 hour chart then the numbers of obtainable pips increases and you trade these 1 hr pips at the 5 min level in the required direction.

Ok with that last 1hr div that printed It will probably be a stop out then.

So would I be right in my thinking that -with the current Bearish Div, once we cross the 1hr EMA our target would be the last swing which would be 1.27382 (23 pips)

And then depending on the reaction on this level, if we find bearish support our next target would be the 1.25875? (146 pips) edit: or we hedge

edit: I just added another level as this is also a swing on the 4HR ( not sure of that matters but its in the middle 1.26369 )

I dunno if its just me, but it seem's like its as choppy as anything lately, whatever happened to our support within 15 min of open and then 50 pips in 5 min? lol
