Hi, My server time is GMT+3, how to place the 108 cycle bars then. Should it coincide with 1 hour before London open in 1 Hour Chart?
Indeed one hour before London Open

So you can see, apart from the entries, the measurements I have made to the 1 hour EMA and to the swing low EMA of the 5 min.

This tells me I have a good chance of getting the required 40 pips and more if required.

Remember when the EMA id going to break one level price will reach the next level. Which it did.

This is only an approximate time to start trading sometimes it is a little before and sometimes it is a little after. So don't get to hung up on it

Today's trading from my marked Zone of Opportunity: {image} That's how it is done. Define the ZOO, as marked on the H1 chart. Do the analyses when price gets there. Keep your risk tight. Go.
Hi Jazz, apart from the H1 div, do you have any other bias? It looks like a sup/res or sup/dem as you've drawn on H1.

Hi Kevin,
It is trading below the H1 EMA which is making a Lower Low swing. My overall Bias is down. Possibly the election gap will be closed.
What a night. The second leg down started early today, missed it completely.
This is not a market where I feel comfortable, tbh.
Mainly I should try to get in short business from M5 M15 EMA.
But H1 completed an ABCD in divergence

3243/3235 Asian low is obviously a level to watch for at least a retracement back. If we get there it seems to be with div. I will watch this on the M5 for an HD.

3186 previous resistance
3152 previous support and 3163 (edit) H1 EMA swing low
3124 M15 swing low

I hope you guys also took the short from M5 EMA to grab the daily target in one trade.

bull div M5 did not get across the ema so it was a good sign the move would continue in the original direction

Look how strong the EMA swing Low is. I took a bonus Long there, after price stalled with M1 div up, into the M1 EMA.

the M15 gave good signals to go long from the EMA swing and a huge reg bulldiv on the H1
you could have gotten your daily pips from the short and from the long

same as yesterday price reached he next EMA swing low on the M5 but can we say the same as yesterday : when the EMA is going to break one level, price will reach the next level?

In a steady trend (defined by EMA Swings) ... yes. That's what this system is about.

A couple of corrections to this chart...

This is where we paly detective and ignore the div because we can see where both the EMA and the price are heading. Any bull div is likely to fail.

Remember when the AVERAGE makes a LL price will reach the next level. Both ABCD's and AB = CD"s are the mechanisms for making these targets.

Thanks to Jazz and others for posting their charts this is the only way I can tell what folks are thinking about. I can't read minds only charts so if you don't post how can I make corrections.

By drawing up your charts you also learn a lot more quickly about all the elements we consider and it becomes a winning habit to do so.
