Disliked{quote} Personally, I would not enter a sell on H1 because I make only continuation entries after a retracement. As you can see clearly, that is not a sell continuation. That occurred on M1 during the swing high bar BEFORE the red bar on H1. However, there MIGHT be a sell continuation coming; have to see what happens with the up swing that is running on M15 right now.Ignored

So I am asking you how can a chart like this one below help you?
The only rules I
> Refresh chart
> Is TDI Green still crossing TDI Red
> Is TDI green angle above 2 / below 4
> Does Stoch confirm direction of TDI Green
Is the crossover still valid?
> Apply Post#647 to your understanding
Is the crossover still valid?
> Place the trade or not.

{quote} I am not from this thread. you may choose to ignore/refuse to answer my question Hmmmm. I must have missed something, because other than perhaps SUBSCRIBING to a thread, I did not realize that: 1. anyone "belongs" to any thread and 2. there are any "rules" about answering/not answering a question. Anyway, it was established about 10 YEARS ago that this is the thread for daily laughs where anyone can post ANYTHING that he feels like. So post away!!
Thank you Fake-drDave
oh yes thread is open for outsiders so we can visit this thread and can laugh at you 
and your posts.I've a question, and you may refuse to reply or ignore it: why do you call yourself Dr. Dave? you may be a doctor but what does it have to do with forex trading? and Why the people call you a Fake-DrDave?

"Last trade for the day. Some thoughts on this trade, I took this short because I saw a rejection on the left from the last high"
Hey TMS Folks,
Here is where most rookie traders make that same mistake over and over again.
A price test of a recent high is not a rejection. You learn that from @tommydoginti another fake TMS trader and fake teacher with less than 2 years trading experience.
To see a market rejection of a most recent previous price action PPA, you need to see basic price action - first there must be the True REVESAL and then followed with a new lower low and lower high price structure. Follow Big E old post and learn the Natural Flow of the Forex Market aka NFF by Craig Harris. Lots of old tutorial videos in the old thread.
Here are my comments:
> what you do not see on that chart is the other market opening and closing hour
the London - New York overlap hours has many dangers lurking, one is the NYSE 8:30am opening and this is every day... Monday to Friday.
> what you did not do is to check the calendar for major news and events.... pre FOMC trading requires some luck.

A picture is worth one thousand words { here )
Good points 1,2 and 3.
but with only a few trades, you cannot come to a good conclusion. Like I said, do 1,000 trades and fine tuned along the way.Indeed, Big E did leave a VOID. { here }

Don't get fired ! Just make the necessary transition to trading 4hr charts during the London session... or Daily charts.

////I hate trading 5min-15min-30min charts. Why? You have to monitor each trade from beginning to end and hope and pray you made a correct entry. I only trade 1hr charts during the the 1st 3 hours of the USA OPEN and 4hr trades at night. I check for set ups at 10pm Pacific,2am and close all 4 hour trades by 6am Pacific....

It is now London 5:30m ,
another 30mins we will see the PDT 10PM 4hr new candle,
Can you trade the next 4 hours on your H1 charts?
Example UJ H1 London 5:30am
- what setup are you looking for?
- do you see the FOMC candle?
>>> your thoughts please,
