I hope he means that he has been waiting a week for a trend reversal and a "long" Fozzy signal.................

..well no, I caught the tip of an upturn as RSI came up to 50:50 on the 4hr chart.
Also it coincided with the 2-weekly down-tick, and the rate that was down about the same as the last two times.
Then I went to bed, or somewhere, and was down 100 pips by the time I came back.
I made some hedging on the way down, but I need a bundle more.

At the moment I'm wondering if this is going to be as good/bad as last March.

And looking at the candlesticks of this chart, the long shadows on the last 2 bearish candles indicates that the bears may be running out of steam. Cover your shorts people.

If we keep the 4 hr on the 4hr thread and daily here, it makes it an easy to use reference.

Please - follow the organizaiton of the threads?
I'm pretty much done with all this ...

Hi BB,

Standard tool, just used how it should be done. This is my forte . Plot a fib exp on a chart-swing high to swing low, then drag the 3rd leg to the lower swing high. Reverse for up trend ( Swing low to swing high, then 3rd leg to higher swing low. Gives a facinating insight into where price MIGHT end up. Watch for confluences of fib ex with fib ret from previous moves. Keep an eye on EUR/USD 1.3705ish and 1.3755 as of current time 15.30GMT. Hope this helps.

I thought I would pose this here just in case there is something else to take onboard. When I look at the 4hr chart the Fozzy signal seems to be just as valid on a shorter term basis as it is on the daily chart.

Previously (sometimes anyway) I have been watching the 4hr chart to give a heads-up on likely moves on the daily chart. I found that RSI crossing the 50 level is a good leading indicator for the daily signal.

Does that differ from other opinions?

( I think this post belongs in the 4hr thread, if not please move it to the daily thread).

This method was discussed near the beginning of this thread; I still carefully use the 4 hour for an early Daily trade signal and will occasionally trade on that chart alone, but it takes practice.

G'Day all,

just though I'd post this trade I took today using PA and Fozzy. I have found the combo of of every thing I have absorbed from J16 and Fozzy threads really consistent.

This trade was a correction back to the week trendline as well as the 236 and 618. Really strong confluence in my books and what I look for to trade.

The Foz had crossed and then we had the TBL set up. I 'm happy with leaving an order 5 pips under the TBL.

I can't thank BB, SL and MBQB11 enough for you time and efforts in all you threads and posts. I now have a rule based system that has really turned my trading around. All the emotion has gone and I really have you guys to thank for the consistancy.

The fishings been good.............

Regards

Thanks

Nice to know we have traders who are successful with this method; I am adding this post to the current discussion in the new Trading Room, it deserves attention!

G'Day Mate,

The rules I have created for myself are from as I posted previously, studing the J16 thread, the Fozzy thread and some basic Elliot wave studies. Also read and loved Bollingers books. So it is a jumble that (and i say this with no disrespect) that without knowing what you or anyone else reading has studied , would probably make little sense, or at best mabey a bit confusing.

I'll post another trade I took today and you will see how I arrived at the desicision to trade:
1: Price at confluence ie range .618+last swing down .786+week TL
2: PA Small Pin(not good enough to trade on it's own due to small wick)followed by BEOB
3: Fozzy signal
4: My trade management is first tranch 1:1 and now 6.00 bar pin agaist me so when i'm done with this my stop will go 5 pips above the pin

So I just have to have a combo of ticks in the box.

Any comments welcome especially from SL,BB,J16 and MBQB11

Regards

Sorry I forgot a very important piece, if i could not get 1:1 before the 240 20 ma no trade as this was an aggresive entry or what I would call counter trend. One of the J16 pieces, Trade STH from Resistance and NTH from support.

Also if you are into divergence, there is a double divergence on the Fozzy from the previous high as well as the little kink.

regards

cool.......................I am only using the 4 hour chart to 'get a jump' on trades that are developing on the Daily. After entry, it's all Daily chart trading until close. There may be other ways to use the 4 hour during the the trade, but I do not at this time have any definite information about that. Cheers!
Hi BB, do you use the same set up from the daily chart on the 4 hr chart, do you change something, or add some other indicator not used ont he daily chart? sorry about my english. Good work, Thank you!
