15 pip adr today. our only hope is a small move up in 2 hours as I expect the US durable goods orders to be lower than expected.

{quote} Sorry to bother you, but if you don't mind me asking are you using 1 minute to scalp or is it a trigger timeframe thing? And if so isn't there a lot of noise there and why M1 and not the M5? I just would like to know as right now i am using only one timeframe (M5) and want to understand more.
hi Mysts sorry for the late response, i didnt see your question till just now.

I use M5 & M1 for timing, so a trigger.
I would rather use M5 but especially when going short, price can move fast and then its difficult to find an entry point.
Price has to pullback for that and then M1 can help.
M1 & M5 are in relation to M30/H1.
I take triggers on M15 and M30 too in relation to H4.

hope this helps.

PS edit: right now price action is messy. its not a good example. so I would go up to M15 for example ....entry point 1.11964 as a possibility....

No worries! Thanks for the reply. I kind of understand it. Basically you identify a trend on the higher time frame then wait for a counter trend on the lower time frame to enter? So you are waiting for the lower time frame and higher time frame to converge or do you just enter as long as it is a counter trend there?

yes: HF trend and then a counter move on a LF ...then find the entry point back into the trend

Currently I don have any sl for this trade. It will be based on further movement of this pair. If moves up will look for TP. If move is down will look for retracement.

just wondering...if it moves down: do you have a maximum that you would expect it to go without a retracement?

I expect a retracement if price moves further down. That’s why I buy if price moves down.
