Hey Rob, there's another item I neglected to mention. Turtle and I were talking about this yesterday. Looking at your daily chart, notice how yesterdays close did not close higher than the high of the prior days candle. I don't care what time frame you trade, this shows that the sellers are starting to gain control.

Not quite, a high volume down bar, indicates possible hidden selling, we need to wait for confirmation to enter in the other direction. Until it's confirmed, we're on yellow alert as to whether we take a long position.

Also bear in mind we've been choppy all morning, largely in anticipation of BoE and ECB rate decision - based on that, my current position is flat.
So here's another high volume bar, but this time we're looking for hidden buying and this time we also got confirmation to enter a position.

In the red circle, the first candle is our wide spread high volume down bar. Trading senses to on. We're waiting to see if SM is really bearish, or if they are trying to sucker in the herd.

The next bar was an inside bar, with narrow spread, with high volume. With that amount of volume, you would expect some movement, so perhaps contracts are exchanging hands.

The third bar tested the lows of the wide spread bar, and closed on the highs.

The next bar further tested the seller's resolve.

The blue circled bar was a low volume test, sellers had the opportunity to push the price down, they weren't interested.

NB. I limited my max volume for the picture so you could see the rest of the volume bars more easily.

I still haven't made it to the shower yet. As to our mistress, she's showing intent to go higher. I will wait for the next h4 to consider going shot on her. I can see 139.2 as a possiblity for today.

h1 is going to give us a dblhc which supports the continued move north for another hour after our h1 closes in 15m.

EJ can pull of super strong trends, but I say NO CHANCE!!!

The trend is up though on it, expect GU will move back to a uptrend later to, Downtrending currently though.

Time will tell, sure do with 150pips!!

Hey JohnnyKanoo - Welcome to the thread. For starters, I'd recommend going to post #1 of this thread and downloading the pdf file that is there. Its full of different nuggets of wisdom that was taken from approximately the first 1500 posts of the thread. Read through that and it should provide more insight into how everything ties together. If there's anything unclear after reviewing that document, please post additional questions.

As to advice to have success with this style, you need to take what fits from this style and apply it to your trading. No one style fits everyone exactly, so by understanding and trading (I recommend demo to start) the system, you can begin to learn what setups you like, what ones don't seem to work for you, etc.

Again welcome, and please feel free to ask any additional clarification questions, but I think the best way to get your arms around this system is to review the pdf at post #1.

Best of luck.

johnnykanoo,
if i may....

imho, the H1 & H4 MAs are a "little" more important.
but in general, u have to look at all of them & must get used to/(try to) master the relation/interaction of the MA's with one another.
alternatively, u can pick 1 or several MAs that u fancy & study/practice them extensively along with your own/other method/system ----incorporate the MA's, in short & sort of "make it your own".

btw, i'll take this opportunity to pay my respect to eohater, the thread starter.
it's my first post here. i lurked here very shortly (last year). during the past few months, i have been 'branching out' from my "mother thread" (james16 thread). i have been using MA's for some time now, but what i like about your thread is that it's a showcase of the MA's that u use + your experience with them.
hopefully u will see this post after your green pips shower.
Thanks for your time here in FF!

I cannot see it so easily right now, but it's still there, just like 7080 is still there for GU. We will probably experience a shit load of risk aversion today which will strengthen the dollar and the yen.

I can see a setup brewing on EJ though for a long from the 137.00 area w/ SL just below around 136.85.
