I caught 126 pips on that move, thanks to learning from you.
Today I added all of the indicators that you are using and my first reaction was "Holey Moley" -- I couldn't see a thing --- LOL
But I will get used to it like anything else.
Anyway, thanks Greg for your time in posting - I am finding it very useful and I may have a question sometime in the future.

No kidding, you can barely see the candles on those charts. I don't see how so many on FF go nuts with indicators, I need a clean chart.

You're welcome, KGB. I'm glad you find the charts and analysis helpful. Might add that I'm an intra-day trend trader: My strategy works best in trending momentum markets (of at least 100 pips). I try to avoid trading consolidations/tight ranges(i.e., scalpers paradise).

Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg.

I truly appreciate that you share your experience with us. Tried to use your strategy for a week: 7 wins, 2 losses, 32pip gain on average, total +288pip. Guess no strategy is good unless you find one that suits your trading style. I think I properly select entry, cannot decide when to exit though (usually set TP at closest pivot point). How do you decide when to close a position?

Have you tried other pairs? EURJPY moves in similar way though I still don't feel it... (look at the GBPJPY to get the clue).

Awesome job. You have a follower http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

1) Can't imagine trading without a strategy I can rely on, but that's just me.

2) Yes, I've tried other pairs.

3) My goal for a session is always 100 pips, don't always get it of course. I close my trades when it seems time to do so. It can be for any number of reasons. Read through my past charts for examples.

Regards,
Greg

I'm showing my last trade to illustrate how "predictive" pivot points often are (see earlier Thursday chart submission). Lot's of traders, banks, funds, etc., look for pivot point entries and targets.

Perhaps someone can upload a template with the same settings and indicators? I would kindly appreciate that! I'm very keen on learning Greg's way of trading!

A better start would be to go about setting it up yourself though.

Hi Greg,

Please help me explain the below matter

I understood - 149.99 - CPP, 151.05 - PDH, but I was a bit confuse when you mentioned 150.50 as next ceiling.

Do you agree with my opinion, when price touch 150.50 but stochastic 1H still not oversold yet and MACD still downtrend, you will place SELL entry after consider 150.50 as CEILING. Is it so?

Regards,
Jutah

Hi Greg
After finding your thread I purchased snag-it and have been using it to keep my own personal journals, but for the life of me I can not figure out how you place that time stamp on your charts. Would you be so kind as to point me in the right direction on how to achieve this please, this would be greatly appreciated. I commend you on developing a strategy that suits your personality and is so successful...well done..

Cheers

Perry
