{quote} Whipsaws above the blue guppys the day before but not on the day you show. Honest trend in play that day yes. This could all help Venka maybe from his question back here {quote} If V asks would you share your parameters to "him" perhaps as he is trying to reverse trade based on tma_true indi at the wrong spots. If he asks, of course. all the best FWR
Missed this. But the 100 and 200 had separation with a 200 bounce so NY was short. But the guppy method is guppy only and not other ma's. Bowtie pattern etc.

All the best this week TT.

Cheers...

{quote} Andy u may had faced distraction with some members . But u may not believe since 2019 i am being trying to understand where i am missing the actual point in George method. george tell to trade reversal when target is taken out, How can we identify is it fully reversal or retracement
Hi Venkatredy,

Just my 2 cents here. The only way is to go through this thread and George's thread to get as much info as u can. Its just way too difficult to understand how each individual trades, why cos trading is all about emotions of would be traders, especially retail ones. We are not machines so at different times we will do different things with exactly same charts. Make your own rules and stick to it. Yes u can change it from time to time as it suits best to make profits. For me personally i have closely followed Bluesteele and Timetells. I mostly trade reversals and let me tell you its not easy. You need to have so much patience and your set of rules to keep you out of bad decisions. For me the most important are Time & RNs. Without these two i just don't place trades. I mostly trade 1 minute charts and just recently got into 15 minute charts during London & NY session. Max i would watch is first 2 or 3 hours of both session. And if u look closely this is when you see reversals, small or big about 80% of the time. I did a week or 2 of commentary on those and out of 10 days there were 7 or 8 days where the setups showed up. BUT a lot of patience is needed. Just today a very typical setup showed up on GBP/JPY. I manually closed it. I was sure it would break the London open and the 182.750 RN cos if u look left this zone was used and abused a few times. The other factor was that after an hour into Lon session the price came so close to 182.5RN but didnt break it, not once but twice. A very good sign that ALGO or whatever was testing and ready to come and break it. Again its just watching cos if it didnt come back then its no loss to us cos we are not in a trade yet. When it finally broke after another 30 odd minutes it gave us a RN break and the Time factor. Main 2 ingredients i look for. Next V or W formation and price left with a decent sized candle. TP was at 182.50. Hope this helps.

Trade Well.

I listened in today to "The Interview"

Tom Hougaard interviewing Steve Ward....Then vice versa. Was a great interview near 2.5 hrs..
With a very interesting revelation made in it...

Tom had referenced the following before the interview....
He knows someone who trading CFDs during the covid crash 2020....took a £100k acct... in 2 months to £7.8 million....
Then from May to Sept 2020 died of a thousand cuts losing all the profit.....

Turns out it was Tom...(This is trading outside of his Telegram group..)

Anyways was a fascinating interview...Steve Ward is a top notch performance coach and always enjoy his webinars etc...
It was recorded and I believe Tom will be posting it up fairly soon.. If you have a few hours to kill at some point...

I would recommend giving it a listen to... He even references ICT and FVGs lol..I was quite surprised at what he said.

Anyhoooo Oil was a barnburner this morning NY after the Breakdown in London....Hope no one was countertrend on that missile.

Cheers..........

Good traders learn to adapt to conditions. I'm surprised Tom (who promotes himself as a big trader) couldn't recognise a stellar return and keep most of it in a not so common market scenario. I had heard about his making and losing period. The market has a short memory and the current focus can change affecting what is relevant to profitability. Have to be critical of that Blue as it goes against any of what sensible trading is all about. Keeping the funds is the key to survival. Keeping the profit is the goal.

All the best.
Was away from the FX market today.... What caused the 30 to 50 pt move on USD pairs around Noon Central US time today ?
Here's a. trade I never took
Mrs T and I are going out for a "Christmas dinner" = just the two of us.
Note how levels feature around price action. No - it doesn't tell you what to do but to be extra vigilant.
Price hit the upper ADR then broke down through ( my Roadmap) to the lower ADR. Upper and lower "Kevin" box broken - along with BRN's.
I am told to wear a nice shirt and tie - better start rummaging in the wardrobe = I saw a tie in there last year

Great! Have a nice Time!
The week before Chrissy.

Okay last year I traded to halfway during the week as I remember and was okay if the Timing of any trades was mostly considered.
Then I relaxed & did family visits during the Chrissy to New Year week while assessing the charts when I could for suitable spots where the market had got itself out of position providing a safer entry.

This week, for Yen traders, we have Big Red News tomorrow which is the all important Monetary Policy Staement. Trade safe folks.
Then
On Sunday, Chrissy Eve ffs when the markets are CLOSED lol, great timing, we have BoJ Gov Ueda listed as "speaking". Whatever that means.

Meaning (to me), maybe close all Yen trades and be flat over the weekend unless you wish to gamble (some will gamble, I guess).

The market open, after boxing day, could even then see any kind of gap or spike who knows.
(like what we witnessed some four ??? years ago after a New Years Day open where the spike ran through all the "stops" moving so fast without liquidity to close the losing trades sending a few brokers into fallout & many claims for restitution of funds).

Just trade careful as always, imo folks, and good fortunes to all dipping their toes into the murky end of the pool (year).
BoJ Monetary Policy Statement announcement time is tentative (as usual)

Likely around the 02:30 GMT to 03:30 GMT ... with a follow up from Mr U at 06:30 GMT

all the best, for the rest ... of the week
