{quote} GJ, in its current inflection state looks to be building & gathering accumulations for something imo. I like to wait for the initial blastoff first tho lol, then observe the stage one rocket releases (pullbacks, profit takings, fake'n'flips etc), and then see where I might purchase a ticket on the train to its next destination. The market loves to make it a bumpy trip for us though, along the way. But that's my fun also hahaa. Trade well all.
time-based MA's are more accurate than random ones, and they are 50% of periods.

here is GJ H4 with weekly range(white) monthly(blue) 3months(yellow) 6months(aqua) 1 year(red)

That is a great question Kwt.

For myself, as you know, I am session based and have the full realisation that, at any point, the market "in my time of trading" can go either Up or Down (or both lol).

However, that is only me (the scalping/trading economist in me lol, just joking ie 50/50 yen post above).


Your question would be terrific for the widest audience
and MAY WELL be touching on a topic, commenced in the past year cheers BW (but not yet completed)

as to what is the current

INTENT

Of the market. And how we might benefit from knowing it.

And it would be great for many (I believe) if they can first take a mental picture themselves of their thoughts, from your chart,
and then let's maybe pursue IDEAS over the next week of what a current intent might be.

Okay lol, but I’m “out the door” honestly lol, sorry won’t see me for a period.


But Asia. Yes.

Ranging can drive traders crazy (especially direction/trend followers).

With a little lateral thinking I try & approach Asia this way.


BY DEFINTION.
Asia must create a NEW high and low for the new day.

MUST. Not just maths, but just a normal reality, the high of the range is the new day high etc, yes

SO.

When Asia HAS made a new high of the day (at some point from your “own” asia box).
then, again by definition it HAS to make the new LOW also (while THAT may already now be behind price itself, if you know what I mean).

So where is price at a high OR low, as it HAS to go opposite at some point to create the other end
(or has already left the 'other end' behind, from its starting point ie Day Open Line or such).

If the Day Open or near is NOT the new high/low of the day then we will see range develop. Which imho is tradeable, on a smaller scale.
Just, as always, trade this stuff with caution. And base it on the REALITY of what the market is DOING. Not what you think it will do, but what it IS doing.

Easy? No. It’s trading lol.
For the market to be a "functional market” it must IMHO have apparent misdirections which are the ups & downs of price movement (and are non-random, imo).


I see (Kwt’s) INTENT as being the longer term directional bias inside (some, maybe) major swings.

I will read this discussion if it takes off with great interest.
Though I have not nailed Intent myself after many attempts to do so (I'm probably looking inside too tight a window or sphere of trading though)

all the best folks, my barber awaits.

If you are an intraday swing trader, aiming for 50pips minimum per entry, then keep your eyes on the h4 candle. The secret sauce is h4 candle and h4 intent(not the same as candle) governs intraday movement. H4 intent is the most important, trade in the direction of the intent, never against this intent that kills the account.

When I look at your chart, your MAs are all wrong, the window indicators are not coordinated to your indicators on chart making it misleading, therefore damaging to interpretation. I'm sorry for my direct assessment, not to hurt you but to tell it as it is.

Anyway, read my first para, there are 6candles everyday. Find a way how to quantify WHEN you know the h4 intent is clear inside every trading day.

The key question about intraday intent,

WHEN does the h4 show clear intent of a 50pips and more move inside the trading day?

Check your charts of your fav trading pairs that you are familiar with, look out for any repeating patterns.
One more thing, start from the 3rd h4. That means you hv only 4 h4s to figure out.

Big secret sauce, the only thing that can move a intraday swing 50pips and more is h4 intent.

Cheers
BW

Ps if you want to trade intra week, it's the same, just increase the intent to daily candle and day intent. There are 5 day candles a week, forget about Monday candle, start with Tuesday, you hv 4 candles to figure out.

The same big secret sauce, the only thing that can move a intraweek swing 100pips and more is daily intent.

And if you prefer shorter tf, then the only thing that can move a h4 swing 20-30pips is h1 intent, and so on...

So watch closely the correct candles, depends what swing you chose to trade.

Cheers

"Asia must create a NEW high and low for the new day."
Exactly, that's what I think of asia, it's a pullback from yesterday high/low.

regarding INTENT:

you can't go wrong by using direction and Dow readings.

Dow explained trend stages into 2 , trend up/down and sideway
Uptrend: higher high and higher low (HHHL)
Downtrend: lower high and lower low (LHLL)
but the sideway is the most important since it changes trend, and he made a rule for it, explained in the image

here is 2 examples of same setting of BB (48) & ZZ (12)

in M15 the direction will be half a day (12 hours) and the reading is 3 hours

in M30 the direction is a Day and the reading is 6 hours

when a trend start it would be easy reading, so you always be careful when the sideway start until the break of previous trend.

Compare GJ and GU charts Friday,

GJ has no clear intent because it's trapped both top and bottom, can't make 50pips swing.

Whereas GU has a clear bottom at 1.19620 region, safe entry at LC for clear h4 intent to take place us session. And it did as expected.

Here's the thing, if you miss this trade entry you won't get another opportunity.

Cheers

***important note, h4 intent must be orientated to exact level. Intent without level is meaningless.

I use TIME in everything Direction/Range/Dow/measurements

and I agree with H4 and H4 intent.

but, if TIME-based MA's are wrong and misleading, then RANDOM MA's are catastrophe, don't you think ?

here is GU M5 using H4 intent by TIME in direction/range/Dow yesterday

if you think it's misleading, I see it making me almost 4% (3.92%) in 1 day.

when using TIME you read and trade periods not TF's.

This pic that you posted showed clear h4 intent on the m5 chart, the trade entry is clear.

The problem is its difficult to visualise h4 intent from m5 chart. Not that it can't be done, what I m pointing out is we are trading h4 intent for intraday swing 50pips and more. You can use whatever method that suits you, doesn't matter. Make sure you TRUST the tools you use which is different for each of us.

The common denominator is h4 intent moves intraday move 50pips and more. This is what I emphasise on. This move brings in the pips and translated into $ without overleveraging. Miss this trade opportunities, the next one is a few hours away.

And you are spot on correct, TIME which I prefer to refer it as clock is the key. Cheers

Sorry, I was not referring to you. Looking at your charts I know you are already familiar with this.

I was referring to people out there who look at your chart, I'm sure they hv problems visualising h4 intent which is shown clearly on your charts, especially the m30. I was referring to them onlookers.

of course it is that's what I watch before going to M5 waiting for H4 reading breakout. so we do agree on something lol

btw, BB 48 is a Day in M30, and H4 in M5. so I have the best reading in both TF's
