Quite a slow day for me so far. I did some +SL small scalps but missed two of the peaks, one of which being the nice drop to the 200... I should of let my first order just roll but felt panicked about gold firing up for some reason. Less would of been more.

I'm taking tomorrow off due to the number of high impact news items. I have too much running around to wait for them to hit and ride the retraces. They will be a great opportunity for everyone who's not me.

Happy trading amigos.

3 wins this morning and no time to keep trading. I hope everyone here beats me by a mile.


Btw: I see the sentiment on Eur/Usd was 80% down. It's a shame people have to lose so we can win. But that's why it works so well. Way more losers than winners.

Buy on low Sell on High After trying for a long time..... Finally able to combine CounterTrend and MiniTrend Just test how effective it is {image}
if you want to combine CounterTrend and MiniTrend on m1 , m5 , m15
use TMA CG or cap-channel
add SMA and connect it with TMA CG centerline or cap-channel centerline
TMA CG or cap-channel must be repainted, so you have to refresh it periodically
set SMA value = 0.5 of TMA CG or cap-channel

I use 3 monitors
Each monitor only has 1 gold chart (no other pair)
3 monitors for each M1-M5-M15 (gold only)
Each chart must be refreshed periodically

I see some pretty good ideas posted here.

When we're into the low volume areas of the afternoon and afraid to enter a channel cross entry, I do find that it's not too difficult to wrangle another 20 Pips out of the market before New York ends.

I use the macd. I don't do it that often anymore but today was an opportunity.

To elaborate: low volume gives me a different kind of fantastic opportunity everyday if I want to take advantage of it. Price is just ranging. No big news coming out before New York closes. So the gentle slight up and down movement of price until the end of the session but it makes a quick little move one way or the other to close for the day.

So something I do is to watch when price goes over or under the blue 25 EMA channel. Place a counter trend trade and expect to close on the opposite side of the EMA channel. For example, prices above the top blue EMA. Place a sell order and watch price go past the upper blue EMA and touch the lower Blue EMA which is the close point. You could literally do this 5 to 10 times a day.

{quote} Beautiful. I like your thoughts and your charts
Counter Trend buy if the SMA Line is below the middle line and the price is near the lower band
Counter Trend sell if the SMA Line is above the middle line and the price is near the upper band
If you want to do mini trend scalping, buy if the SMA is below the middle line, target close at the upper band
If you want to do mini trend sell scalping if the SMA is above the middle line, the target is to close the lower band
My indicators are just for comparison to make it easier to understand

When you trade live, usually the concept of counter trend or mini trend gets mixed up, especially if it is floating minus
for this, many filters are needed as a cross-check
imagine I use many filters, and 3 monitors, it must be complicated
