Best not to trade when you are weary.

Hi Laura and all,

This is my first post in this forum. Its amazing stuff all you have got here. Im reading up to page 50 now, still got a lot to learn.

Please comment on the trade in the attached. Welcome any feedback.

Also, I was wondering are we looking for any PA before entering a trade?

Regards,
Ches

Even if your entry is off the support line, you're fairly late into the London session and your entry is not a break-out entry of any sort. In that situation I would wait till the RSI2/9 is closer to or over 60. Also, the last active candle shows price action going south, meaning that your entry is against momentum. Wait for an up-candle with RSI value a bit higher...

To me NZD/USD is range/wedging. And nobody likes a wedgie . I find the road map rules work best when applied in trending conditions. Also RSI is right on 50. I use a preferred of 60+ for longs and 40- for shorts for non aggressive entries.

No road map entries for me today as several pairs seem to be ranging

Similar with AU. Lets see how it plays out with those 3 hits failing to stay above the 200SMA

Wise decision, I should have done the same. Harvesting merely 23 pips with 9 trades, using only a fraction of the normal lot sizes, is nothing to write home about. Too much aggravation for the return...

Good evening Laura and everyone

Can someone assist with coding the indicators here so that they work on MT5? I got a local broker that only uses mt5 and I am a Roadmapper but now am stuck. please assist.

Why not wait for a trade on an MT4 chart and then take the trade with your Broker's MT5?

I think, as Loftboy suggests, your options might be limited to using a demo MT4 for the indicators and your new MT5 broker for trade execution. As far as I know, the relevant indicators haven't been coded for MT5.

Hi Laura T

Is there somewhere where there is a busier thread or something about the roadmap?
Seems to be a great help if you can see more setups and outcomes by people who are proficient with the method.

Thanks !

Hi SwingTrade65,

one of our members (Hooman86) took the effort to collect and offer all charts annotated by LauraT (110 of them) as a single download: https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...6#post13226346
This might be a good place to start...

Hi,

I did have a Slack group dedicated to trading Roadmap but it took too much of my time away from trading. The Slack group still exists, so in theory a few of you could join and trade there alongside each other. But it would be without my input I'm afraid.

In terms of this thread, I think we reached a point where most things that needed to be said have been said already, hence it's not as active as it once was. I do still intend to add further sections to my journal when time permits though.

Further to above, the Slack group is still operational but inactive. If a few of you want to meet there to discuss Roadmap trades, you are very welcome to. Just to stress again though, I won't be offering mentoring there. Best I can offer is that I'll pop in from time to time and catch up with your posts. Safer to assume that I won't be around most of the time.

This invite will expire 30 days from now. I will add a new one next month if people need it.
