Strat's Long Term Stress Free Trading

Quoting Barry Cade
8 weekly bars have failed to breach this TL. Only on 2/8 did it breach & then dropped back down next day. I believe Orientals are on hols again tomorrow? Maybe an intraday trade for me at pp, but reward to risk not enough for a daily trade at this stage.

However, I am maybe overly-cautious in my early understandings of trading within this thread.
Dead One, several pages ago we were talking about AUDJPY and AUDUSD - I believe Alexandra said AUDJPY was on its way to the North Pole after one of my posts.

""I am maybe overly-cautious"" - Excellent! Stay like that no matter how you trade - much better than being Gun Ho!

Yes, many consider this an indicator of the ecomonic state of affairs, and we've been riding it a while now, as the thread attests. I still see the weekly pattern as positive, but that is an excellent point looking at the road so far traveled and the obvious major hurdle at 80.

The main point of this is, as referenced a couple of days ago, that one can spin a daily short on this pair, and the divergence players have probably taken it...but the weekly should keep us in the proper perspective.

Either way, that market is moving quite a bit as we speak, as is USDJPY.....the battle is on.

Very witty too. Think Akkerman still uses an LP Custom, amongst others. Simply trying to say that Im not a Strat! I suspect that the Zombie monicker would apply more appropriately to SG. Anyway, thx for the new name.

Apologies for the reference to 50 psych. Forgot Im not on intraday. However its still been effective in this case.

Because it was an ATM trade or a gift horse trade and I take them when I see them no matter what the R:R is.

I don’t use R:R as is my want BUT I recommend you guys use R:R.

Had I used R:R, it would only have been 70 pips anyway
Strat do I understand that you exited the trade? Can I ask why now if you did?

Im still in and it just dropped about 50 pips in 2 mins, time to set to BE

The Weekly has shown A BUOB. Trend is showing North and price has also closed above the weekly 20.

On the daily, I see that price has been moving sideways(balance between buyers and sellers), which means IF there's a breakout price might move strongly? Price has shown support on the Daily 50 and also 134.40ish daily minor support line that I have. The current daily bar, if maintains the current form should be a IB (35 minutes before current bar close on my broker's platform).

Will set stop buy order at 135.50 and stop loss right below 134.30ish? Or should I use the high and low of the IB for entry and stop loss?

Comments and criticisms are welcome. Appreciate it, thank you

Not one for me - the RR is too poor to cover that S Star's stop distance relative to the support lines below - must only be a 1:1 trade. Plus my feed shows a BEEB right into that combined DSRI line and SR level that I have at 91.01ish. Looks like it could be a HL test off that DSRI (not shown on your chart Strat)
Grimweasel,

I am new to FF and this thread and i am only up to page 40. This style of trading goes great with what i have been doing for years. But can i ask is it possible for you to post a chart and show SR at 91.01ish. I can see 90 and 91.85 but nothing i have looks like 91.01. thks

An IB isnt a particularly bullish bar to trade of like that. Its considered more of a pause bar so I wouldnt use one to enter a trade like that.

You might consider a platform with more standard closing times, but, otherwise........

Hi Alex, my platform ODL just closed (GMT 00:00). By standard closing times, when would that be? how many hours ago/before? I'm not particularly well in knowing time zones, pst , est, cst ...etc.. know nuts about them

Naws: so from the chart that I posted earlier, a bearish IB like that (if only it closes like that) should not be taken into any indication for bullish setup? Only a bullish IB in this kinda situation can do so?

Thanks guys

Bring back the SG and Black Sabbath! – but, please, not those Jonas wimps!
I still love that shape – might have to get one to play some modern music like Black Sabbath.

“You must be older than me”. Got you! This is proof that you haven’t read and understood from the beginning!

I guessed that but maybe our International readers who don’t have English as a first language didn’t.

Anyway, you can’t beat a wind up before you go to bed!

You've got the sentiment right but not the timing. You should wait for a pullback or retrace or a loss of interest before entering on solid PA. Do not guess on IBs as they can be followed by wicked OBs/large range bars which will suck you in if you have the direction wrong.

http://forex.timezoneconverter.com/

The timing is aggressive from the standpoint of the stress free thread and the need to await appropriate PA, although your entry point impies assocoiated positive PA. You would need a realistic stop in the pair though in that setting. If you were to tell me that you are buying a failure to fall below 134.40 with good stops and freedom from angst over it, I would have given you another smile. Overall, that was a solid post.

Actually, you did kinda say that.......

Hi Alex, thanks for the kind feedback.

So, overall what standard closing time does team strat use here? Or what broker would u recommend me to look into for having that standard closing time?

Am really loving this thread, going through the thread from the beginning and seeing how the team grows and improves in trading makes me really determine to stick with strat's way of trading! FORGET ABOUT 4HR . If switching to the standard closing time is really important, then I will do it.

Thanks again :d

Thanks for the reply Strat. I love that bold sentence alot, makes sense to me :d It sounds like something that comes out only from a pro or season trader's mouth. Cool (at least from me).

Regarding your sense of humour, it's kinda tough for me to get it most of the time. Ahaha, maybe I'm an asian (can't catch the lingo, especially Baba G's). Or maybe it's my age, 23 this year. Know nothing about john lennon or all those rock n roll stuff, wasn't even born then ...ahaha :d

Anyway, love this thread and sincerely thanks for all the teaching

Maybe you should watch long term DSRI on Daily, it shows 135.70 for today.

Note that Blackeagle, thanks. Am still figuring out what does DSRI mean though. Strat said that I will understand it once I finished reading the thread from the beginning. Am working on it

From what I see on the chart that you posted, price is currently approaching back to a broken ascending trendline on the daily. And that might be a support turn resistance trendline. Maybe that's what you mean by DSRI adnd we should pay attention to PA in this area?Hehe.. not sure but guess I will figure this out sooner or later.

Cheers.

I believe FXDD, FxPro, and the new FXCM programs use the standard NY close. It's a reasonable idea given the importance of the closing price on this thead, though if your weekly analysis is solid, one can put up with some variance on the smaller time frames. You'd be suprised how simple the charting patforms are for many large lot, professional traders.
