{quote} Well done. I was watching this but missed a suitable entry and now it's too extended. If it retraces I might be able to try again later.
I'm watching EJ. There might be a short opportunity after H4 candle closes.

Meanwhile, short GJ.

Hopefully WTI will give me a clear directional bias tomorrow.

The trading rules are simple: 1) D1 - EMAs crossed for signals + reversal candle patterns, etc 2) H4 - to trigger trades - D1 EMAs must clearly crossed one another - EMAs 8 & 20 (H4) crossed - candle closed below or above EMA100 3) SL & TP - I used H4 previous swing hi/lo or you can set your own. 60-70% of the time, the market will give continuation trade(CT) signals. The remaining 30-40%, the market will be ranging. GU charts for illustration.CT means continuation trade.{image}{image}{image}
Yanah12 you seem to be consistently successful with your trading, which is what we should all be aiming for. So I went back to where you posted your method. The main addition to what I have been using is that the H4 candle must close beyond the 100 EMA to validate a trade. I have done some backtesting with this and using the 100 EMA does seem to have a decent probability of success.

Do you scan your daily charts for an EMA crossover as the first step in finding a trade? And under your step 1 above you say "+ reversal candle patterns, etc". Could you expand on this please?

Hi Yanah12, looking to learn from you and AlistairC. Have been struggling to find consistency in trading, stumbled across this forum and it resonated with me because I have been trying a MA strategy for a while now. 5m gives way too many false signals for me to be consistent so I’m trying to internalize what you guys are doing and implement.

My question is, and I think I already know the answer, for this WTI trade, are you waiting for the retest before you actually take the trade?

Nice trade, neilpryde. That same pinbar stopped me out for a small profit, otherwise I would still be in there with you. That's how it goes.

Hallo alltogether,
I trade with MAs only without any MACDYs, RSIs and so on...
I trade mainly Setups with 8,20,100 EMAs on one Instrument only
but all TFs from M1 to D1.

Sometimes I made a Search in GOOGLE and found a Site with FloorTradingSystem, it is very useful Page!!!!!
Later I found by YouTube 2 Channels about Trading with 8,20 MAs,
even though both mainly trade M1,5 there are more different Setups and useful Infos about FloorSystem. IMHO there are very interested Channels!!!
If anybody want to learn a bit more about this MAsTradingSystem,
Make simple a Google and an Youtube search:
1. The Floor Trader Trading System
2. anthony beardsell (about 150 Videos)
3. living from trading (about 40Videos)

Have a nice Weekend

Hi AlistairC, thanks for creating this forum. I'm actually excited for the new week to start to test this on the 4H. So I've been trying to markup charts and look for potential setups for the new week. Can you or anyone else on here tell me what you think of EU?
The 4H seemed like it would have been ok to enter and the daily is trending up as well.
The stochastic is overbought though but I know you all dont trade with it, havent gotten quite accustomed as yet to naked charts.

what you think of EU?
If you look at W1 you can see that there is going to be resistance where price is right now.
That doesn't mean that the trade won't be successful but you could see a lot of back and forth (if and) before it will break out of this area. But I may be totally wrong, of course.
One week earlier, though, we had a very good setup (see arrow).

Managed to take EN trade soon after it's clossing & closed for 100pips.
Subsequently, tried to re-enter again but got caught in the consolidation. Decided to cut my losses (-25pips) & was very happy this decision.
