I am in, short, but following a 123 pattern long term strategy.

Your comments are very clear!
I dont like setting blind entry points in long term charts, so your comments about using short term charts after identifiying critical points in long term charts are very clear and help me a lot to understand this strategy.
I really appreciate your help, thank you very much!
By the way, do you always use long term to identify opportunities and short term to set the entry points?
...Yes. **
The best results seem to be derived from S/R decision points that are blindingly obvious. If you get coincidence with calculated S/R lines, fibo confluences, established trend lines, round numbers, etc it stengthens the NoBrainer aspect. nails where the stops and limits will have naturally congregated, and where market consensus will be redetermined by the market movers. IMHO you must switch down to see the price action as the level is approached... to see how that consensus is being resolved.
Id go further and say that watching the 1m and the tic is worthwhile .. but with caution as its not for everyones psych.
Thats my understanding.. some experienced traders here may wish to add to or correct me on these thoughts.

** I would just mention that there re issues regarding your charting paackages /brokers EOD, that may effect for example, what you see on your 4h charts. This is beyond the scope of this reply.

Heads up on 1.1500 - 1.1465 (bottom of the bucket). Might be a good no brainer and a good area to join the trend. What do you think?
