Hi Dan, When it comes to this analysis stuff, it does my head in. Would you believe I have just watched those basic candlestick videos on page, 112. I learned those about 3 years ago and have done my best since then to forget them!!

Now I see they actually do mean something!

If I remember right, strat wanted us to use swing highs/lows for starting points. Then said if it makes sense to you it's OK. I dunno.
I spent 2 hrs this morning looking over the Eur/Usd and had everything ready to post, and then remembered we were asked to do that after...
""If I remember right, strat wanted us to use swing highs/lows for starting points. Then said if it makes sense to you it's OK. I dunno.""

For those new to trading PASR, I want them to learn hammers and shooting stars first. Learn them until you can trade them in your sleep. Then move onto the next step. This is the basic building block which needs to be in place if you are to be successful at trading PASR.

""I spent 2 hrs this morning looking over the Eur/Usd and had everything ready to post, and then remembered we were asked to do that after we had seen the set up and got in. So waste of time.""

Waste of time if you don't know what you're doing but very valuable time if you do. You can post at ANY TIME - where is it said we were asked to do that after we had seen the set up and got in? Lotuselanman isn't in and he's posting his analysis so that we can check his work.

""What I have realised is I need to be more organised, need some kind of template and tick the boxes as I'm going through the time frames. In the past I've only concentrated on one or two currencies, but I see now doing this daily I might have to watch 10 or more. Three time frames x 10 currencies is a lot for me to think about.""

Organisation is SO important, more so if you're trading the devil's time frames. For us, we just need to be set up, PATIENT and DISCIPLINED as we lay in wait for PASR set ups.

Until you can trade PASR in your sleep, you have to practice on THOUSANDS of charts and when you're done doing that, practice on THOUSANDS of charts. Recognising and trading PASR is NOT a learn as you go process! Trading while learning is financial suicide.

The more pairs you have, the MORE you have to practice on but not necessarily trade. Practice makes perfect.

Checking 3 time frames for trading the Daily and up is a doddle. Once you are trading, unless there is PASR on the Daily, there is no need to check anything else after you have your BIG BOSS and BOSS analysis in place.

The BIG BOSS analysis is in place for a month and the BOSS analysis for a week so we only need a couple of minutes at the NY close to check our Worker charts.

I don't know of any other business that produces such a high ROI for such little effort as trading the Daily time frame and above. As Jacko says "It's the best business in the world".

I took the USDCHF long trade too (for the second time this week , chart will tell you why) and it gave me the same scares!

If you have momentum and price action on your side then you must not be put off trading into the 20ema. SR levels and price action will always win. The moving average is a guide ...
When the price gets to a moving average it might well cause your trade to wobble when it hits it but it should not keep you out of a good set up.

When the price is a long way from the moving average then the "elastic band" effect is a good...
A LOT of information for me to assimilate. Thanks Nicola. It always seems to me a bit odd that MAs provide S or R as they are statistical calculations based on previous PA and therefore lag. SR lines and TL on the otherhand are indicators of points at which PA moved, not lagging statistical calculations. At least that is my reading of them. I know MAs seem to WORK as S or R sometimes but they are a different kind of instrument from the SR and T lines.

But what do I know?

Anyway your comments made a lot of sense to me. Thank you.

The 20 and 50 provide DYNAMIC lines of S&R. Many times they coincide with our static S&R levels providing us with powerful confluence of S&R.

Suggest you pull up thousands of charts with just a 20 and 50 on to see this with your very own eyes!

The market is not presenting us with any safe, low risk opportunities just now so there is no recommendation.

We are watching those pairs at support and resistance and will get together and review as the situation presents itself.

Hey Baba G!

I'm still trying to figure out everything you wrote. There is alot in there.

If I understood properly, the market is in sideway mode and even though price action occurred, the risks were unacceptable.

I'm rereading it for a third time to see if I get more.

I had the feeling you were trying to filter posts that had no set-ups.

I guess I am the master of the obvious.

Looking at the CAD/JPY charts your posted:

Big Boss - Down Trend
Boss - Up Trend - Showing Bullish PA and then slapped down with Bearish PA.
Daily - Up then Down.

Price appears to be bouncing between the 2 levels drawn on your chart.

There isn't a clear direction as to where the Queen wants to go. So we wait for her to deal more cards and give us more of a clue.

I didn't get the comment about the Pin/Hammer bar on the Daily. Wasn't that a perfect setup for 500 or so pips? Is that what you meant by NO banana?

For those with a “fixed” mindset who are not prepared to stretch trading boundaries.

This is not a “I told you so” post to the Negative Nancys but rather one for those on The Path of Learning to keep your mind open, not believe what others say but rather, prove things for yourself. It is also to encourage you to look for YOUR “EDGE”.

It is very important as you are developing as a trader, to be aware of all possibilities in trading, even those that go against “convention”.

Again, I am talking about MY use of Sunday bars. This is NOT a recommended trading style for those on The Path of Learning but something for consideration once your PASR light is burning brightly.

We have been told over and over, not to use Sunday bars and to ignore them. Forex trading convention and the vast majority of Forex traders condemn Sunday bars. I have lost count the number of times I have been told by “so called” experts that Sunday bars do not work and to ignore them. The rebel and contrarian in me does NOTaccept anything I am told unless I can prove it for myself. No-one has been able to convince me that Sunday bars are worthless and for me, I have proven just the opposite over and over, they are very valuable.

Before you even think of considering Sunday bars, you have to understand what YOUR Sunday bar is. If like some, it only consists of 2 hours, then it is not worth considering. My Sunday bar starts with the New Zealand/Australia session and goes right through until midnight NY when my candle for Monday trading prints. This tells me SO much about Asian trading.

So, before me, I have 8 hours of Asian trading information and the “so called” experts want me to ignore it! WHY? Is it because they are ignorant? Is it because they are envious? WHY? Whatever it is, I don’t care, each to his own. If we are to ignore Asian trading on a Sunday, just because it has its own bar, then, if the “so called” experts are to be consistent, they should ignore Asian trading during the week, but they can’t. Not logical for my simple mind!

Now, this is NOT an argument for using Sunday bars. It is for you to always keep your options open and consider all things once your PASR light is on and shining bright. In other words, think outside the box and develop YOUR EDGE.

I only use Sunday bars when everything lines up (including my Momentum, Momentum Cycles and Cycles) and is in confluence and when it does, for me it is a no brainer trade. When they are not lined up it is also very simple – ignore them. Don’t ask for my method because this is for Advanced Strategies only AND providing you have 8 hours of Sunday bars.

I have been very profitable using Sunday bars and for the times they haven’t engaged (Baba G terminology which is a very good description, thank you, Baba G), I rarely take a loss. There have been a few times when the big boys come in and play their games and their spike fills me and then take me in the opposite direction BUT the beauty of the Sunday bar is that it is usually a small bar meaning my SL is small with very little risk. Another reason why I love Sunday bars so much!

I really didn’t want to show this but feel it necessary to show how powerful it is WHEN everything lines up.

This Sunday is a PERFECT example in using MY Sunday bars (and other studies) when everything is in confluence.

AUDJPY: Filled long at 71.70
AUDUSD: Filled long at 0.7537
CADJPY: Filled long at 81.07
CHFJPY: Filled long at 85.03
EURCAD: Filled short at 1.5779
EURJPY: Filled long at 128.57
GBPJPY: Filled long at 145.30
GBPUSD: Filled long at 1.5217
NZDJPY: Filled long at 55.83
NZDUSD: Filled long at 58.83
USDCAD: Filled short at 1.1729
USDJPY: Filled long at 95.43

All stop orders filled with no losses.

Again, this is NOT to promote Sunday bars but to get you to keep an open mind, challenge everything you are told, don’t believe “so called” experts and prove things for yourself.

And for the Negative Nancys who want to prove me wrong, save your energy. My trading account knows the truth!
