the Market Type conditions will not change,

AUDUSD is sideways and the WCC Week 31 has the control,

If you follow post#11, you will most likely make some money.

Hi Emmanuel.

You always say that first step in trading new week is W1 charts analysis. I used your screenshot to ask if pairs i choose (see notes on picture) are good candidates for further investigation.

Go back to the primary objective of trading the markets ... it is to make money.

Start with the Big Picture Planning of every pair. This will help us know which pairs have the potential to run into profits +12R to +15R. We "Cut-Losses-Short" and "Let Profits Run"
An example is in the OP'post #7612.

Weekly Top Down Analysis is to help us determine the Market Type conditions:
1) Trending
2) Sideways Wide Range
3) Sideways Narrow Range
Keep It Simple ... We use only three Market Types. There are systems that have 25 different market types example when we trade the stock markets.

TMS 5-Method will not work in Sideways Narrow Range market type because the 4H Swing will not run 3 to 8 candles.
When you can identify the Market Type 3), this is there is potential for change in 3) to either 1) or 2). This is when we will make more money by knowing the Market Type and wait for the 'breakout'.

On those Weekly charts you identified with IB, the previous candles are big candles. Are the candle WRB or WCC?
WCC helps us define the Market Type 1) or 2). Is this simple?
When there is a WCC, is the market quiet or volatile?
Current market conditions have been volatile, therefore trading the 4Hr with single entry and small stop loss will mostly end in losses.

Therefore we need to adapt the trading strategy to the market type conditions. This has been the advise of the OP since the beginning of his posts in Forex Factory.

It is not easy to trade the 10pm and 2am 4Hr candles and close all trades at 6am.

{quote} How to tell the difference between WRB and WCC?
That's easy.

WCC is Weekly Control Candle therefore applies to Weekly chart candles/bars only. A WCC need not be q WRB.

WRB is Wide Range Bar and applicable to all timeframes charts. A WRB on weekly does not mean it is a WCC.

Next, we have the Master Candle, also apply to all timeframes charts.
A MC can be a WCC.

Reply to PM question on EURJPY at New York Open

I cannot attach chart in PM reply.

Below is EJ Aug 13 at New York 9:30am now

Selling is risky at this 4Hr as there is no major news that suggest buying Yen now.

Euro remain stronger.

Daily and Weekly do not support selling now.

Remember TMS_EVO_IX is to trade when there is potential for "Let Profit Run" and we target +9R to +12R.

IF you had done your WTDA, you would have spotted the WCC in these GBP pairs.

This week we have the breakout which was supported by the economic data release this week.
