{quote} Yes, 1hr and 4hr fractals... Always short from the top (low fractal) and long from the bottom (up fractal)...
Hey there!
I see your entry and SL logic, nice as for me. + You move SL to BE as I can see. And what is your TPs calculating logic?
Thanks in advance
Just an opinion. Based on research

Here are three levels I am trading today, 2 Sell Levels and 1 Buy Level: Short : 3341.32, 3344.80 Long : 3315.17 All with initial SL of 1.5 points. When the trade hits and goes in favour, will squeeze that... will get back with trade management when they get executed.
May I please ask one more detail?

Vertical line - is the moment in the beginning of the day when you wrote.
3 blue V-marks are 3 fractals for the current day bounce levels (if I found them right).
How do you select fractals to trade the current day?

{quote} Hey there! I see your entry and SL logic, nice as for me. + You move SL to BE as I can see. And what is your TPs calculating logic? Thanks in advance
There is a SL moving logic to BreakEven and then Trailing logic after that. TP is fixed. They are all time of the day dependent.

Example of set-trade-management:
1. B/E Logic: Initial is -1.5 points, if it survives this (I am buying low and selling high always), then if it goes 1 point in favour, SL moves to -1 pts, if it goes 2 points in favour then SL moves to -0.5 points, when it goes 3 points in favour, SL is break even.
2. TP : 8 points (flat)
3. Trail: Once B/E is reached, there is a SL Trail triggered, which I do with tailing it with a higher/lower of the last two fractals back on a 1-min time period.

The parameters (1,2,3,8) change a bit sometimes... but logic will remains the same... (this is a winning trade-management for ANY short term trading).

I only trade contrarian, so when the price is moving up I am looking for short, and when it is going down I am looking for long. I am not predicting where it will go, it is if it goes there then what is the likely point where it will bounce (not reverse on H1/H4, but just bounce a bit).

So when you see the chart, check on the left and see the next down and up fractal(s) from the current price position. [Up fractals when looking for Buy Bounce Points and Low Fractals when looking for Sell Bounce Points].

First I do it on H4, then go further and check H1 (most are common but sometimes additional on H1). If u see for today... there are 4 H4 points and 1 H1... (Give my points a bit rounding as when I place the trade, I give spread accommodations)...

Here is the 4-Hr chart with all 5 Bounce Points for today, Red Lines are Sell and Green Lines are Buy...
(One long point is a 1-Hr point, so the fractal is visible on 1-hr chart, rest are all 4-hr ones)

remember what i said in my own thread

rsi value above 50 is bullish, below is bearish

so on which time frame do you see rsi below 50, that is the clue for reading the table

hello everybody :-) i am starting this thread for interactive discussion on gold trading and give my trading levels and management of trading gold. I day trade the gold with my ea takes care of getting out of the trades. The daily levels (i call them bounce points) of 1hr and 4hr fractals are decided and limit (both sell and buy) orders with an initial sl are placed at the start of the day and the sl/tp exit is managed by the ea. I was giving all the trades and levels on the gold in "interactive forums", before i was "ignored" by chiforex, the owner...
i am expecting bearish till 3310 what do you think ?

So this help you identify reversal points better and faster than others. I need to learn this

So while I am looking at an indicator you have already captured a reversal and pocket it

Well, if you are expecting/predicting a reversal soon (as you do, since I remember you were mentioning some financial news based things earlier)... these points would be good to have before hand... and if you are going without a SL in mind, then there is nothing like buying low and selling high... hahaha...

I place my trades in the morning and just watch them play out (or not) in the day (which my EA does), its a fun activity

I would like to believe that I am part of the group which made it reversed... If enough people resist, the price reverses (thats how it works)... sometimes it gets rolled over you if there are not enough there or the other side is really bulky...
