i post a second chart , i missed this trade but it is interesting : 34 chanel has gone down under 150 ema, cci 89 is negative, price pullback upward to 34 chanel, cci 21 pullbacks up above 0, then goes down again under the 0 line heikin ashi is red so a short trade could be initiated.

good trades to all!

heres an update on the FX50 v2 F4 strat that i follow with success, it's simple & easy (will post full PDF version soon this month)

PS why FX50 v3, well v1 was based on FXP and fxtrading24 started the fx50 thread with his rules but F4 (v2) and JohnEd (v3) did different FX50 versions still based with CCI's as the main indi, they both are succesfull as strategy

** and yes i do trade both EUR/USD - F4 & GPB/USD - Johns **

Hope this help

This was one trade I took this morning. I don't usually hold my position for this long but anyways. SMA10 moving away after bouncing from the two guppy (34-55), the same in TF5 minutes chart.

musso, how do you chose your exit?
this morning i made two scalp of 10 and 12 pips but it is very frustrating to see how many pips can be done if you chose bigger targets....
i am working on it, maybe choosing any pivot point or round number to my initial stop would be nice so that i always work with a risk reward superior to 1.
of course if you want to work with a risk reward superior to 1 i think you have trade only the first pullback of a given trend because it is the one who has better potential of profit.
the pullback 2,3 or 4 in a given trend are closer to the end of this trend it is logical...

I would usually look for things like hanging zorro (look for them in the pullback meaning a continuation of the trend), also bigger time frame charts, divergences between SMA10 and guppy etc. Although my TP its always in between 10 to 15 points because this is scalping otherwise I would go to bigger timeframes. Don't be frustrated I think you are doing pretty well actually.

best pairs for me are euro/usd , gbp/usd and eur/jpy but I only trade euro, made a quick scalp this morning a short of 12 pips. i exited because of the pivot and was fearing an upward bounce on it. here is the chart :

* prices go back up to 34 chanel, cci 21 goe back up to 0 line (this is the kind of pullback i like),

* prices go down again with the red ha candles, cci 21 goes down again under 0, this is the short trigger.

here is a trade i din't take this morning, it was on 5 minute time frame, perfectly clear, under the pivot point so we could have S1 as a target, here is the chart. Adding the 5 minutes chart to the 1 minute chart brings a lot fine opportunities....

good trades to all.
