My strategy is based mostly on RSI and Moving Average. A good combination of RSI divergence and MA can show the short-term trend changes. Sure, the fundamentals are more important if you run for hundred pips, but very good for reaching some pips with each trades.

what best indicator to entry signal and looking TRENd ? with TF 30m or 1H please help me
Everybody that said PRICE, you are correct, but then you didn't say how to read that PRICE

I say, do this:

Buy Signal
(1) The CLOSE of the current bar (1) must be higher than the HIGH of the previous bar (2)
(2) The CLOSE on this bar (1) must be higher than the HIGH of the bar three bars back (4)
(3) If those conditions are met, we have a BUY SIGNAL

Sell Signal
(1) The CLOSE of the current bar (1) must be lower than the LOW of the previous bar (2)
(2) The CLOSE on this bar (1) must be lower than the LOW of the bar three bars back (4)
(3) If those conditions are met, we have a SELL SIGNAL

What does that look like on a chart?

Well, you have to use one of those nasty indicators

But as this indicator is purely showing you where the PRICE closed, I don't think that it is so bad

Others may have their own opinions of course

Simple and effective. I would use this strategy in the direction of the trend from one time frame higher. For example, if I am trading on the 4HR, then I would use the Daily as my directional reference point. If I am trading on the 1HR, then I would use the 4HR as my directional reference point. However, there would be times when I would go against the trend, but only under special circumstances.

Every-one is doing it but multi-time-frame analysis is probably one of the number one reasons traders lose. They use time frames like another indicator because they have little or no grasp on price action. Erebus has a grasp on price action and therefore he does not need an indicator nor another time frame.

What is so special about the 4 hour to trade the 1hr? What is so special about the Daily to trade the 4hr? Oh I know....because those are the time frames MT4 uses. You have to use the daily because there is no time frame between the 4h and the daily. Same for there being no other time frame between the 1 hr and the 4 hr. Interesting how the platform dictates.

Here's a revelation. The trend on the very time frame you're looking at is the only valid trend you need to worry about. Trends on time frames above or below are irrelevant.

If you see an engulfing candle on a Daily chart, what do you think the logical thing is to do on the 4HR?

If people are failing using multi-time-frame analysis, it's not because the strategy doesn't work. There is a right way to do it, and then there is a wrong way to do it.

{quote} If you see an engulfing candle on a Daily chart, what do you think the logical thing is to do on the 4HR?: Nothing. What happens on the 4hr that suggests you should trade? If I'm trading the 4hr and I see an engulfing on the 4 hr then perhaps I enter a trade. I could care less what the daily shows. Theres no right way. It's dogma spread throughout these threads. It doesn't work. It's false security. Nothing else.
If I see a bullish engulfing candle on the Daily, then I will be looking for an entry on the 4HR to go long. It works for me.

Much more can be said on this topic, but I will refrain, because you have apparently already determined that no other view but yours is right.

Any rules of the candle colors? Only that the buy bar close is higher than the 3 before....rule 2 includes rule 1 from my point of view...

Color of the candle may or may not be important as it depends upon the pattern you are trading for example inverted hammer then color of the candle is not so important.

Let me check...

Buy Signal
(1) The CLOSE of the current bar (1) must be higher than the HIGH of the previous bar (2)
(2) The CLOSE on this bar (1) must be higher than the HIGH of the bar three bars back (4)
(3) When those conditions are met, we have a BUY SIGNAL

Sell Signal
(1) The CLOSE of the current bar (1) must be lower than the LOW of the previous bar (2)
(2) The CLOSE on this bar (1) must be lower than the LOW of the bar three bars back (4)
(3) When those conditions are met, we have a SELL SIGNAL

NO, not mention of color

I have seen where bar 3 does spike up so perhaps that is the logic of Rule 2.

In any case, it seems logical to me and the math is straightforward

And you are vucking good EA coder

Not to be obsessive about this pair, but here is an example of how you might anticipate a reversal with confirmation using the closing price

Obviously, yesterday was never going to meet the rules with a close above 4 bars before at "X"

However, there is a chance of today bar closing above yesterday and meeting the other rules

This would confirm the possibility of a trend change, we could watch for short term buy trades during the day

And if it doesn't close above, perhaps we would watch for short term sell trades on Thursday and Friday, it could collapse right back down

  • Dec 6, 2021 4:01am Dec 6, 2021 4:01am
Hey! @rsp13.Here are the most crucial rules which you can follow while using a stop loss:

  1. Always calculate your risk tolerance before placing a stop loss as it will help you to understand how much you are fine losing if the market turns against you.
  2. Make sure that your stop loss is neither too tight or too wide. Placing a tight stop loss means your market order will be triggered very quickly without giving enough scope to earn a profit. Setting a wide stop loss is like setting no stop loss at all.
  3. Even though it is possible to move a stop loss, you need to have strong self control in checking yourself from moving the stop loss in a fit of emotions.
  4. Try to pair it with a trailing stop loss as it will add more units to your open position if the price increases.
