Was discussing with my children pertaining to trading after news - I asked them what will they do? All said SELL. So I told them about market psychology 101 - {image} There aren't many buyers (volume) left and they are trapping more sellers (delta). When they forget about parity then we go for parity. That touch and go parity after the news was just a teaser.
I was double sway, fail to reach tp twice. Trail stop the 2nd attempt, take some.

Short explanation why I took this trade based on my value strategy. Market plunge sharply towards parity, like mixedbags I was watching that level. Normally I don't trade NY session and I don't trade spike. I knew 2 things that I wrote about earlier that made me take this trade. There's a clear target to the left - yesterday's low. And the market will close above dol. Market was undervalued. I waited for the break and took a look at the clock, took the trade. (This trade shows why I don't use volume delta)

As a swing trader I broke the cardinal rule don't scalp. Market came close to tp twice, I decided to trail stop and call it a day. I lost -25pips. Cheers.

Edit - just want to point out, intraday swing trades take 2-4hours on average. Intraweek swing trades take 1-2days. Scalps are a lot quicker. This give a time perspective. Intraweek swing trading coupled with the occasional intraday swing trade suit part-timers better.

Hi All,

A couple of trades taken on GBP/JPY during London Session. First trade had RN, PFH and ADH. The second trade was at LH and downward momentum. Both hit the marked targets. Not sure if they were the best setup but it worked out.

Regards
Dennis

{quote} I trade with M1 charts {image} Direction is correct but execution for opening and closing is bad as I busybody in the kitchen. {image}In trading there is no IF
I'm trying to make something out of these intriguing charts...:

  1. you're fading the first move of the day ; when did you know the right direction; before or after the session break?
  2. all these lines...; is it important when they'll be hit?

Thank you!

Just find some proxy. I wish I could give, but that's my 16 hours a day (1,5 year) research Exit when the proxy hits the limit or enter when the proxy is in the zone. Every one it's own way. But search the proxy from real life. I don't know if you find that or not,but I think it's worth trying

Well, thank you....
first thing: trying to understand what you mean by a proxy...
Is it correlation? (like EU-GU)

On the surface it means correlation, but it's deeper than that. I know I'm writing in riddles, but you know what ...

Overvaluation/Undervaluation is according to what? For example, USDCAD, USDCHF is incredibly overvalued same as USDJPY. The question is according to what it's overvalued/undervalued. And the reason for that. Balancing? 50%? But it's deeper than that.

Nowadays I understand @fti's teachings from The Art of War. It's in fact about targets. Lose the battle win the war.

IMHO, fti's presentation on The Art of War was not about targets (not even close, actually). In fact, fti would view the idea of targets as being ridged thinking. But, the first 300 pages (or so) of his thread are the best presentation on trading on FF and maybe anywhere on the internet. I miss fti, and I'm sure you do, too! Good trading!

Yes, it depends on the trading style of somebody. For me it's about unfinished business. I agree that his thread is best presentation on FF and on the internet. Why I say targets? Because I have found something about real targets. (unfinished business or negative orders in their orderbook) It's not about what they call every HL, HH as targets. But some real life context in it. Assuming that every HH and LL,etc as targets is wrong for me. I think he would agree that every pair has different rhythm. As you said I have the interpretation of narrative (about your post), it will hit the target 100%. And it's not about perfect entry, but about making money; that's why I say win the war.

And I know I shouldn't be saying 100%, but it can't be less than 100%. Happy trading!!!

Thanks man!

Quick short scalp on AJ. 10 piperonis. Not the amount but the time in and out. Easy trade vs hard trade. Take your pick.
