Time and Price Forecasting

A simple thought process. Patience. Discipline.

USDCAD 1h, 23 pip long. Price at session high and near 1.29
Done deal.
Multiple chances given for a trend-trader. You just simply had to follow the order flow of the session and keep your long.

To recognize the wave that diagonals were drawn from.

For a lazy trader, such as myself, these are the kind of trades you wanna be taking. No need to get glued to the screen and overtrade. Only one good trade is enough for a day.

I do not want to sound critical MoeinYZZ, rather I would like to offer a suggestion when drawing grids and their extensions. The reason, there gets to be so many diagonals , it is impossible to pull the trigger. Also, some of the diagonals are significant, some are not so much so.

The Key is establishing the DNA of a swing that is significant....and you do that by finding a swing, placing the grid over, and then seeing if the rest of the price action fits within the grid mostly....it verifies the grid is a significant one that can be measured with diagonals and extensions of the .25 increments of the price move from high to low.

When you do this, you will find many trades not only with the trend, but also against the overall trend. I used the same chart as you, the 1 hour Cad, and the arrows show some pretty nice trades if your quick and confidant.

Hi Swede. Advise away! Always open to it ; )

Absolutely agree with your idea. Most of the time I look for new swings that I could draw good diagonals from each morning before trade. Many times, like your chart, a new swing can provide much better diagonals and levels to trade. I remember many examples in my journal, and specifically a USDCAD on a Friday here on this thread actually, that this same concept was present. So of course what you're presenting makes perfect sense.
And really, for Fridays I propose this notion firmly. Given all the new week's price action.

Have to admit though that sometimes I prefer older swings to newer swings because of their diagonals and how price acted on them. But not all the time of course. That's why I strongly agree with the idea that this trading thing is an art really. Sometimes outside the box thinking is encouraged.

Anyway tho, the methodology stays strong in Forex which is just wonderful since this market is known for being the most easily manipulated.
When there's a will, there's a way.
usually i do not feel comfortable to trade first day of week but this confluence and the confidence i gained from last some trades made me excited, although i closed my entry after 25pips and it's still going but no regret.
actually my focus point was nzdusd( arrow) but it just slipped away,will see in asian session
any advise/suggestion will be appreciated from my side

Classic, classic grid trade....

1. Find a swing
2. Overlay grid...answer the question "does the grid contain price by the 4 levels and verticals.
3. Measure and place diagonals.

GBP hit the Big round number which corresponds with the diagonal....result, I picked off 75 pips, but I see it made the whole 100....

The second trade was also textbook as price retraced and reversed where?.....you answer, if you had taken the trade your up 35 pips atm...I missed it as I was out of the office for an hour but it was a no brainer using this method.

Is anyone using this method in trading Natgas/Crude?
Once you understand the significance of a swing, and you understand why price trades according to the DNA provided by a major swing, then you will see the grid method with diagonals works in all markets....here is West Texas Intermediate this morning during the NY session....any question that was a nice trade?

ps....go to post 16 in this forum and read all you can on geometric angles that is illustrated there.

A few years ago, my bank wanted me to invest in a sure thing, something that would return 10-15 % per annum. The returns boasted they were backed by mortgages, yes MORTGAGE BACKED SECURITIES. I just couldn’t wrap my head around how the return could be so high when the mortgage holder was only paying 4-6%? My banker couldn’t give me a good explanation so I passed on his sure thing offer. We all know the whole thing collapsed because it was based on nothing more than promotion, derivatives with no substance.

Can anyone explain to you what is backing Crypto......? Some of the best minds in the world cannot offer a good explanation so That in itself is enough for me not to look at it as an investment. Trading it can be very profitable but as a long term investment they can be horrible.....be very careful my friend.

Well, I guess you have to determine “long term” for yourself. Your age, your financial health, your family should all play into your decisions. Like I said, trading is much different from investing. With trading your in, your out, you hold a bit, you go back to cash, over and over. Investing in something like crypto over the long term could wipe you out with an unexpected world event, or government interference, or anything that you have no control over. Look how China put a damper on bitcoin farms, could that happen here? We have an energy crises to some degree right now, will there be controls put on the high energy used for farming, it could happen.

So, with all of this in mind I would say “invest” only what you could afford to loose, and if your scalping use the same criteria with the addition of stops on every trade..

Be well.....Ingvar

you are right swede.... i have discussed with some other people and few of them are into somthing called "crypto mining" and they are very passionate and positive towards btc future but you know mining and investing are two very different things,,and last week what happened to LUNA raised many questions too but as you said"invest only what you could afford to loose" is the point i'm genuinely considering.
