DislikedWhich pairs? Stick some charts up...
It's not confirmation on all timeframes so much as looking for the risk of retraces I think. When pairs have made big moves down, they simply have to retrace at some point as traders take profits. That's not to say a 5min cross won't mean it could go lower but if it's far away from the Ts/Ks then the likelihood of a retrace is higher.
I believe the high probability/success trades are nearer the kumo or Ks simply because of the S/R area and the fact you can have a smaller stop.
The GU trade still looks good...Ignored
Yes I think a 30m cross is probably best, then re-access
Its all starting to make sense this Ichi trading, although I still need help searching through the pairs, which of course this thread helps with. Give me 6 months and I will of mastered it
