{quote} It was clear, sorry I didn't look close enough. I am used to long trades taken after a green bar or on engulf of a red bar.
No worries!

That's one the hardest things to get used to for me - taking longs after price has gone down into the EMA... Seems unnatural

Quick winner this AM on USDCAD.
"looking left" a key part of my strategy.

Second trade of day. V Small win.

Got out when price closed outside of EMA channel. There was a previous spike that I should have closed at.

{quote} Hi, thanks If I dial out to the hourly chart, I can see resistance at ~0.9636... Is this what you are referring too? Guess I didn't look that far out.
No - Read Laura's posts about Zooming out - she explains it all.
Just go through all her posts and you will come to it.

Thanks. I've read the whole thread - I'll go back and revisit that part! There's a lot to take in

Closed an oil trade for +45. Price had previously broken Daily Open Line and then thought about going back to re-test it but edged back down. Entered short. My exit was 3 bars too late as I should have been out on the spike in my favour for around +60 but, oh well

[quote = M.Propper; 12985152] Ahoj Laura, ďakujem za stratégiu. Vždy sa mi podarí s tým robiť dobré obchody. Ale mám malý problém s ADR. Aké je optimálne nastavenie? Pre rozsah D, rozsah W a rozsah M? (pripojený je ukazovateľ multi MA, ktorý môže dobre vyhovovať vašej stratégii.) {image} {file} {file} [/ quote]

yes - I noticed price calmed down after 11 am - ish. Before that, especially from 8 am, the price really threw itself around -wide bars etc.


EDIT:
Someone stole my OPEN line ! - I see it on a 5 minute chart but it disappeared on the one minute ! Weird.

be sure the open line is not the same as the backgournd colour. I had the same problem last week and it took me while to find out

{quote} Oradba, I am quite intrigued by your approach. Perhaps over the next few days you could share/post an example or two of your technique? Would be much appreciated...as a part time trader, full time professional in other aspect
Here's a trade I am currently in. Note that the SMA200 is all in the same direction (momentum). Note the RSI (more momentum). I simply followed Laura's rules from there. TP is the DayLo, SL is approximately the ADR high on the D1 (H1 is shown). I have found it better to pick my stop from the D1 timeframe and confirm my target on H1. When I hit my first TP, I take off half of my position and let the rest run. If it gets to 50 pips or more, I will set a trailing SL, either 7.5 or ten pips, depending on what I think I am seeing in regard to retracement, etc.

What I am going to work on now is when to build my position on an ongoing trend.

Nasdaq - short and long per Laura lines ( Sounds like Cilla Black - 'Lora Lorra laughs' - that's if anyone here is old enough to remember her)
