{quote} To my way of thinking this shows the problem why we really cannot help Lecedric with his trading We all have developed our OWN WAY perhaps even a favourite pair and Time-Frame but above all Trade EXPECTATION of pips Some my trade off a Daily with a minimum EXPECTATION of 100 pips Some my trade off a 4 Hr with a minimum EXPECTATION of 50 pips Some may perhaps trade off any time frame looking for 10/20 pips IMO this is were the Broker as the edge over us by giving us far too many time frames to chose from eg Suppose we were ONLY able to trade...

I get what you are saying, and totally respect it. My response would be that learning for some can come in the form of a different perspective. For me some of my best "aha" moments came from reading or watching a different style. He did say that he came here to view other's trades. This to me denotes he hasn't landed on a style that is comfortable to him. My comment though was more general and to everyone. It was a bit curt though. I agree with your assesment of time difference first off. My rebutal is this though. The 4hr being such a large block of time is comprised of all the lesser ones. In my mind 147.5 is the breaking point that will decide if we go bullish on the 4hr which would in turn trickle down. To a 5m trader, this would caution him to wait until price cleared 147.5 to add, or if he got in early to possibly shave off and wait to see. The 4hr trader. Well he would wait to see how price reacted above this level. Because as you stated, the pip count for him would be small for the risk. One of the biggest mistakes I ever made in trading was sticking to my time frame. Even though I may trade off of the 15 or 5m throughout the day, I prefer to keep my eye on the big picture as I feel those are the areas where price scares me the most as it will suddenly rip my account down then turn because some higher time frame area of support or resistance got hit.
I try to not use the names of styles of trading because all I am tryiing to offer is confluence. Someone coming in who has their own idea of the chart and is looking to see if someone else also came to the same conclusion.



It just occoured to me that you might not be referring to my chart post, but to me helping him trade in general. if so mi a culpa I read that differently.

I feel it's still bearish because of the price action, but don't listen to me, I'm just a beginner.

I would tend to agree. I think today was just a liquidity grab above 147.5. We shall see. There's some yummy liquidity between here and 149.9 also

with the gap down i would think it would have grab alot of orders below 144.5 and then to 148.2 but no .. its like it didnt need alot. it means we really found the bottom or yeah its going south to that 143. after today and wont go higher till CPI ? my thought process

I just look at the chart and entry. I don't follow any method. That's why I make many mistakes.

Remember that sideways action I mentioned last week?
Short term. Short to 146 off of 147.2 area. Unless 147.2 is broken in which case first target is yesterday's highs. Second 149.2.
I took another look at the 4hr, and longer term I am leaning Long overall. We had a gap down on bad news, but were it not for that news the pattern would have suggested we were long to 149 area. That news didn't take out the floor though, so we be in recovery. My initial move was a buy off of 144.9. We have a FVG between 147.8 and 149.3 that still needs filling, and that was my target. News came in and we gapped down scaring everyone and making me abandon my initial plan. Sorry for the lack of charts. I am at my day job.


All speculation by the way.
