I really don't see the benefit of MML, Gann Squares, Diagonals, Boxes etc. For me, it hides all the price action and market structure which I need. I think what you are trying to show is the forecasting ability of Gann indicators, but again which level, diagonal, box is correct / important to watch ?
Question is : Do you sit with pending orders at these levels or wait for a reaction then enter ? If it is the latter, then it's no better than what I have already. If it is the former, then hey ho, are we into Prediction / forecasting...

Hi Shabs,
I take it this part of your post was for Kwt, not me ?

Yes, for Kwt, OAPDave or anyone else, especially regarding post #5075 & #5076

Especially with no explanations of how to use them. Looks like hindsight to me with all the discretion involved.

Looks like pyramids & astrological signs IMO.

Even a little arrow here & there or marking an important level to watch would help a little.

I am hoping this short 3 minute clip will help

At this point that is the only way I do it. Waiting for the specific scalp pattern I have come to use. Id'd through many hours of observation.

Impulse. Pullback. Rinse. Repeat. Until it is time to go the other way. <----- To me that is price movement.



That was a good scene. Have not seen that movie (shame on me).

Last chart posts for the week

The 1min shows the tighter entry view, while the 1hr template (my 4th templ, I have others as well) shows current directional activity.

Up or down now, we shall see.

Discretionary Target Trading with Market Mechanics and Direction style.

These probably do fall into the scalp definition, while the 2nd was on the way to that close swing target tho I closed earlier.


Morning is over. They can take it to the moon now if they want. Back for the Franky-London Session.

S preads aren't always so wide, 0.5pip larger than GU but no probs imo (they do get out to 1.2 to 1.4 pips during the day).

All the best guys

{quote} GBPJPY is a cross currency pair derived from the direct valuation of GBPUSD vs USDJPY. If a currency does not have USD in the pair, it is "derived". So the same is for EURJPY, AUDJPY, CHFJPY etc. So trading these pairs, I would always look at how USDJPY is behaving, to determine whether a GJ trade is a good option. Better still trade the UJ as it's a major pair, so spreads are better than GJ and more well behaved than GJ . Of course you lose out on ADR for the lack of volatility. I really don't see the benefit of MML, Gann Squares, Diagonals,...
To me, trading any CROSS PAIR is a BY-PRODUCT of the main trade on a corresponding MAJOR. Easy money with very little effort ( chart analysis time). Well, at least for me.

{quote} Hi Kwt Yes, these are the conventional ‘styles’ of trading which we would all implement to some degree. And I agree with the reasoning for your specific choice within those options. If I did have to attach a label to my trading I would call it Discretionary Target Trading, or just Trading. The industry attaches a label to the GBPJPY pair lol…. “The Dragon” hahaa. And for good reason. https://www.dailyfx.com/forex/educat...Dragon_js.html It is not a pair imho a newcomer...
Hi TimeTells,

my best guess for GJ spikes is that it trigger some algo in HFT machines, since it's always have bigger spread than UJ & GU but with NEWS it become really wide.

I agree with you that GJ is not for new traders.

I also agree that GJ is volatile, but it's the equilibrium of UJ & GU, so it has it's own behavior that can be measured and traded accordingly.

"When I trade GJ I do not like to be in the market for too long timewise at any point as it can flip & frustrate an already existing trade (depending on the UJ & GU)."
Time is the only unchanged factor in trading, it will always give you correct direction and let you stay in trades longer.
since you used M5 in your chart, here is GJ daily direction on M5 using BB 288 (1 day = 288 bars in M5), just look for reasons to always stay with the direction.

Thank you Kwt4x for posting the correct example of SQ360.
I have deleded my post. Thank you for your correction.
Finally after one month of trying i should be able to make it correctly with a correct starting point of the extreme high and other major adjustments to the measurements.

Hi Kwt,

Yes that spike happened in between the end of my asia box and the start of the London box in what Kev/Bluesteele calls "Monkey Business Time" hahaa.
And it would trigger HFT breakout black boxes and then the market runs them both and land price back in the middle of the spike to put the acid on open trades.

Regarding Time and GJ, well because of living in Oz I only get to trade Asia & then Franky/London later as I will be in bed by New York. So I will trade the direction during those times that I am in the markets. Sometimes both as a buyer in asia and then a seller on London, if price action works that way.

There is NO leaving my trades open. Or with a trade manager to close them for me, as I purposely "baby sit" each trade and love doing that.
I learned more that way early on and now enjoy it. I have a set target each day and I don't try to push the envelope by trading more or leaving trades run, which I could do should I choose. I am in & out, get the bickies and then listen to some music. If I was still in my 30's or 40's I would be all over this market 24/5 hahaa.

$1 / line, you are very kind sir, but, now let's see how Franky plays out first

all the best

GBPJPY.

100 pips flush out down on the o'clock from the Pound Red News.

Settle down, rest, come back in half an hour and see whether they're fair dinkum or just foxing.

No trading just yet. 158.270 was a marker line. 159.130 was the starter Line. See if they rotate or stretch, or rotate and return now.
Someone has won something, and someone is caught, is all that is certain here.

One day later, same game lol.

Probably just another coincidence that the middle of the spike ie 50% is bounced again.

(AND took out the bottom of the 100 pip spike from yesterday )

Stand firm any traders here, they have to tip their hand in the next hour you would think.

Trade safe all.

so the GBPUSD didn't budge on the GBP news

If one man can move the market 170 pips then we may have a new Draghi on our hands

Please , note the word please, look at your own posts 5069 & 5073 and apply your own PA skills that you keep telling me about , then you may have all the arrows you desire
Needless to say you won't as you have found the
