Fully support that comment Vic, we are all but parasites jumping on the back of the big boys who control the movement of money !

Just try to get in early if you can....Ichimoku I think gives you the best oppertunity for that.

cheers

But Vic, This means if we only trade the asian, we can no longer hold long term trades, as they will overlap into the Asian session!
Noo , long TFs will always support you, loosing a position or 2 doesn't mean you have failed , i meant that if you are an intraday trader the Asian is the best.

Hi FxS,

There are obviously a number of factors that contribute to this however there is a widely held perception that the AUD is one of the cleanest and truest examples of the risk trade.

When people are more confident in taking risks, they put their money into higher yielding assets (stocks - DJ) and the carry trade (borrow USD or JPY to purchase higher yielding currencies such as AUD/NZD/BRL/ZAR).

If the AUD plummets it is generally more of a risk trade driver than one of local Australian economic data. Sure Aus economic data does effect...
Thank you for the explanation.

Cyprus is GMT+3 so when it is 2000@GMT it is 2300 in Cyprus.

I always use timeanddate.com because it's so simple. Also, if you are using windows vista you can set 3 clocks to run simultaneously when you click on the time in the task bar. This is great, I have one set to Tokyo, London and NY.

It's really handy.
Thanks again.

Congrats mate, that is some really great trading!!

Keep up the great work. I missed the big move on the G/Y due to being asleep however this looks like it is starting to decide on a direction and our normal trends might start re appearing (we hope anyway)

Out of interest, which trades triggered. i remember you mentioned that you were putting on a few the other day.

Again, congrats!
Thanks mate,

I agree about the gbpjpy. It has been so choppy recently, I have been sitting on the sidelines with that one watching it move 200 pips here, 300 pips there .

I am in on the eurgbp with an initial trade following the 4hourly KS and an additional trade which is still following the 15m KS up and may close fairly soon. I am also in the usdjpy since Monday and that pair has indeed been moving very fluently. I entered the eurusd and audusd as well, but they turned around so I took my profit.

Hi 4X

You seem like a guy that knows quite a bit....so I was going to attach a currency meter to my chart, not sure if you know the type. It basically monitors all currencies and tells you which one is being bought against which are not. There quite handy if your in a trade and you want to keep your confidence up, as at a glance you can confirm during a pull back that the market is still in your favour.....or not as the case may be....

Anyway...am I right in saying that thats what the Kumo can tell us ? Its depth tells us if there is strong...
Hi Ab,

Not sure as I haven't seen the monitor however the kumo is a great gauge of how strong volatility and directional sentiment is at any point in time. Especially on the long TFs.

Send the currency meter to [email protected] and I will check it out.

Great to hear you were in early on the G/U!! Man did that get a serious head shot today or what!!

Cheers.

lol - have a good weekend!

The reason I asked is these are some of the trickiest trades...valid crosses but the higher TFs should a lot of room be retraces.
It's also a problem when only trading the higher timeframes because you can get crosses when the Ks is still hundreds of pips away. Better to wait for the retrace but then we're into trading Ks bounces or kumo bounces, which isn't part of your strategy.
When there's a chance of a retrace, trading the 5 and 15min become more risky wouldn't you say?

yeah it will be more risky if the big picture doesn't allow the trade, i have looked at the EG and i can see the price is far from Ts 4hrs so it is better to wait for a retrace , i encourage you to open several pairs and follow the same rules of entry , am sure you will find your chance somewhere
have a nice day

Attached are trades i've taken the last few days. They all won which is unbelievable for me. Can't believe it. Out of character for me.

All trades had valid signals but someone always posted that something was wrong that could have prevented me from entering but I entered with huge stoploss behind 4h kumo+buffer.

Didn't intend to post them but when I made 50 pips off Eg in 15 minutes just now it turned me on.

Anywho, this is what I have been up to....326 pips for 8% demo account growth.

This stuff works but I feel wrong as all trades had comments posted that each wasn't safe.

I see that retracement space can make a trade risky so in the future will trade as close to the kumo as possible. I didn't let the Japan holidays stop me.

One morning I woke up with 4 trades won and it spoke loudly to stick to this as my personality matches this method well. I was ready to drift into something else when I received this blessing.

So Vic you have my business back!

Steve
