Well, If i works for you then great. If not, then I strongly recommend your next strategy be price action trading. To me, there is no better way. Good luck!
if you know where price is going to stop and reverse isn't that good too?

I have a new winning strategy!:

First I draw my S/R lines on my chart,

then I draw trend lines,

then I study some indicators,

then finally I do opposite of what I think is going to happen.
I lost a few pips myself. I should have employed your strategy. But I'm still up this week. I went against retrace and lost my hat.

Definitely, Basically PA is trading certain candle shapes Ex: pin Bar, inside bar, outside bar, etc. at major support or resistance. Also use major Fibs for extra confirmation, but for the most part the charts are naked. I have found the hard way, that too many indicators just confuse you.

I think it's good! There's one charting setup I use to assist in knowing where the trend has stoped and/or reverse is Heikin Ashi

i dunno, maybe my computer is not displaying the chart accurately. All I see is lines everywhere. Not making fun of this. Like I said, if it works then by all means kee doing it. Thats why we are here. To make money! Anyway, good Luck in all future trades. Just wanted to see what this thread was like.

lines are fibs dashed lines are s/r trendlines usually form channels top down black blue green red but sometimes i don't follow colors looking to standardize it sometimes similar colors are too close together. i look for fib convergences rejection of s/r and bounces off of fib levels and channel lines. sometimes if i am late to the game i pull up a slow stochastic to show what price has been doing. i liked heiken ashi but gave it up my method is combination of my instructors chris lori black knight steve nison tim morge and soon to be robert miner. lines are the fortune tellers. if you have a reliable price action system i would like to know it so i can learn more. show me/send me a link. thanks

i guess my system is somewhat price action. wait for price to hit a fib, s/r, channel and reverse for major risk reward. maybe more like swing trading. i don't know all the lingo lol

some templates don't work correctly if you have an indicator on it. try this with fxpro. i removed the stochastics.

Ok, well After looking at your charts they just look a little busy. I'm a huge fan of areas of confluence, which are basically your overlapping S/R lines. you might want to consider setting up your FIBs so that only the nearest relevant levels are shown. That should help clear up some of your chart. Only suggestion. As for a great thread to learn on. I have just found these in the past few months and Am new at PA myself, but i'm telling you. it is easy to pick up on. Check out James 16 chart thread and Jacko's house thread. Both are highly educational. Also, I just joined Nial fullers "Learn to trade the market" and have learned a lot about PA. Good Luck. You can always PM me if you need anything.

I hope we are talking shorts here...

The rectangular region is the level where I will like to add some shorts. No trades for me tonight/right now as I will like to let it reach to 3200's before I can comfortably short. So I have entry orders at there. FYI, 3200 is important interactions of price over last 2-3 weeks. It will be very hard for it to cross 3250, just my opinion. 3400 will be my stops set at.

All trade well.

I have posted last week that we're on downtrend channel, we can see 1.32 for high and 1.29 for low. I will short from 1.3150 or 1.3200 but I'm curious whether there is profit taking spike for the last 4 days?

hom much pips daily you make guys?
it isn't about how many pips it is about how much percentage. you could take a trade with 50 pip sl and 1% risk or a trade with 5 pip sl and 1% risk. i am getting back in the swing of things (pun) my best week was 2 weeks ago with 76% increase but need to study up on mark douglas to learn to control emotions. I have had also huge drawdowns due to emotion. that is not a boast or humility by the way. God is so great he let me learn about forex. it is now my passion. if you took a trade from the black daily trendlines in my templates you could get in woth i very small sl and have risk of 30:1 or 40:1 on some trades i am traying to get to the point where i can get spot them, take them witha tp in tact, and bank some major pips.

made one short today with 10 pip sl got out at +14 for 1.4:1 risk reward. if you would have taken this trade with 10 pip sl you could have a potential 15:1 rrr this is pretty good to me.
