That tail in the middle bothered me. But usd/cad moves irregularly and this was a definite ellipse with a power bar. Caught 10 pips.
It looks like you do understand the system, price patterns and market rhythm.

Nice trades and keep it up!!!

edit: its +100pips profit and still running.why didnt take it in real
edit:finally it hitted my SL at 1.4770 with 83 pips profit .look at the second picture to see how it goes up in M1 chart.

Yes, Bs I think this specific example of you is called a Bullish Harami pattern - however it usually appears at the end of a downtrend. I don't like big candles like that in pullbacks - I will be very careful once I see a big candle like this in a pullback.

Hi I took that set up for only 9 pips in my live account with 1 mini lot becauseof the same reason , ...late in the day . i felt like that too. But that is part of the business.
I had another trade today which hit my SL of 20 pips on GU today. i would have closed at the next candle . But i had to step away from computer and had the stop loss in place.
The chart is for the GU Trade.

Hi Nad

I just had a Skype chat with Bs and I've just mentioned to him that I am currently concentrating to identify market rhythm and the proper high probability setup. I do see a lot of high probability setups but they are just stand alone setup not link to certain price patterns and market rhythm.

Like this trade of yours - I want to minimise trades like this.

That is also why I didn't take the 3rd big brother (right end of your chart). Just too late in the day with a daily range of 200pips+ (see my chart posted a few post ago). I also saw the TC on EUR and it was mentioned on the 5min Skype chat. I gave reasons why I didn't take.

What I am trying to say - practice, practice and practice. It is the only way to gain the necesary experience.

And I like your style - trading small but using a live account to get use to the system while getting the feel for trading live.

Hi Willem, Thanks for the feed back, Always appreciated.
The hard part of trading is to make a decision IN THE MOMENT And that comes with practice. The set up that i took on GU was taken with the notion that it could be the start of a new move up after some up and down movement across the Moving averages. The MACD was smooth went close to the zero line, there was a pull back with relatively small candles . The signal candle was a power bar, I agree there was not a rhythm in place yet but this is usually how a move starts in my observation.
The euro was a good set up . if it was earlier in the day i might have gone with the 3 lot strategy.
Lets see how the rest of the week goes.

Lets see how the rest of the week goes.
The Target area was known after the second high was made. The green circles is where I would have made my trades. The last 2 trades I would have stayed in as long as possible to see if there was going to be a breakout.

I would have taken the same trade you lost on as the move was changing to above the 50sma again. The signal candle was a bit small but I think I would have fallen for it. That triangle that was formed bottom made a curve(Higher Lows) and the top remain straight indicating a possible upbreak. What I normally do is after 8 pips gain I close 50% and set the remainder on a -8 to -12 stoploss depending wheren the 50sma are and then let the remainder run to be part of the breakout should it occur. If I got taken out on the remainder it would be at worst 4pips.

Allways nice to look at it afterwards.

Nice trading to you all on the 5min. It is nice to see people starting to get things working for them.

Maybe it is just me. But I saw a lot of rhythm setups later in the day right down to 4. Since I was trading on the same patterns on ETF's and futures I usually don't take them after 10 because it starts to slow by noon.

I like the system you are proposing, I just have to fully understand some things and acknowledge the essence in order to apply it, as from my view the most interesting pairs to trade FOREX is the GBPUSD and EURUSD, thanks and I hope to assimilate the whole technique

These setups (patterns) happen every day in a trending situation.
Usually (or ideally) price retraces to EMA21 or EMA18 (i am using EMA18), or in fast trending markets - to EMA9. There are about 3-4 bars in a normal retracement - then you see a bar that has higher high and higher low than previous and it is bigger - ENTER when this bar closes above the bar with the lowest low (in a retracement).
I think you guys call it "power candle", i call it setup bar.
System is good, but i also use Fibonacci to determine potential point of reversal or TP - normally draw from previos day`s low to high (or the opposite) and mark only 50%, 61.8% or 38.2%. Check it out and you will see price either stall near these levels / reverse / blow right through.

Just my 50 cents

I prefer slower EMA - better to set SL.
