Trading can be frustrating especially if you keep getting stopped out and do not find out why. That is why the concept of trading the structure of the market more than appealed to me. Here, your aim is to precisely predict the market turning points from understanding the signals the market gives. Reading Eric T. Jones, James F. Dalton, and Robert B. Dalton's Markets in Profile was very enlightening as the the nature of market movement, explaining the how and why. It is the foundation of all my analysis. I do not use any indicators, seeing as these tell you what's going to happen after it has already happen, and the trade is no longer worth the risk. A strong foundation in candlestick analysis is also required. Here I would recommend the use of Steve Nison's numerous books on the same. I will post a series of trades taken using what I believe is the best system in the world to take trades at the low point in the market and at the highs, unlike anyone else. And hopefully this should be enough to convince you all to delve a little deeper into the market, and hopefully find the answers that are right in front of you... Thanks.

I don't believe this is possible. But you are welcome to prove me wrong if you can.

That said, it is important to note that certain candlestick patterns are better for trading than others. Most of them are not even worth bothering with. Furthermore, such candlestick patterns are best used for trading the Daily chart, as they tend to be stronger on this time frame, especially when it comes to turning points.
Learn from your mistakes and march on.

Nice thread! I have most of Nison's books and have always used candlestick patterns to some degree or another in my trading. Markets are fractal so they are equally powerful on all time frames. You need prove nothing to anyone except yourself. Carry on. I'll be following.

I see the entry and the SL but no TP. Does your method determine in advance where to Take Profit or do you simply wait for the market to exhaust itself then manually close the trade?
Play the hand you were dealt.

Market structure may be a trend following tool that traders read and follow supported how an asset moves. From bullish moves, to bearish and in between with ranges. Market Structure is usually spoken as Price Action. We seek advice from this study as market structure because it's how the entire market moves.

HEHEHE... Thanks. I have already proved myself wrong, that's all that matters. But on a more serious note, I have been taking these sorts of trades for over a year now. And it is very precise. Please just take my word for it now. Candlestick patterns work on all timeframes at turning points, otherwise the entire chart would be like a line graph. when the market turns and retraces, there is a candlestick pattern on a lower timeframe, you cannot see on the daily. I prefer H1 because it is more exciting. And this way you can explain each market move, and not chuck it all up to the institutional traders. LOL. Look a little closser, everytime the market turns, there is a pattern, you may not know it, yet, see it a couple more times, and some some more, and the pattern emerges, pretty fun stuff...

Lovely post. This is what first got me thinking. After an illuminating lecture on complex structures, hhehe. If the market is complex and shows fractal patterns, is is not possible to break it down to its most basic form and go from there, well there are about forty different "basic" forms I can see thus fur. But, thanks for the follow. Look forward to catching you here.

Hello there Maule. I do not include these as it would be too much information, it is my propietary trading take on market structure. I do not include the take profit in my screenshots, if i do, they are false. But i know beforehand the turning points. Thanks

I couldn't have put it any other way. You are completely correct. Market structures traces an outline onto which the market will flow, it advises you how the trend with propagate. the candlesticks then show you when to enter, at the lows of the market or the highs to reverse the move. They also warn you if the market will return to clear the high/low at which you are sitted, this way, you can tighten your belt, and take an even better trade. Thanks fundednext...

First Trade of the week. And in my opinion, a scalp trade with maybe 50 pips max in it, maybe.

Isn't it mandatory to use a volume profile indicator to trade volume profile?

I will pay the programmer in any of this 2 ways below

Those are the 2 ways I would pay, since I can not create a thread (I am a junior member in forexfactory) so I will like you to help me create it and help me bring those 2 programmer, do not worry, if u are not yet a profitable trader i will help u to shorten your forex journey by given u some great tips that will help u to be profitable
