High Probability

EUR gdp lower than expected.
is it bad enough to take EURUSD to s1?

don't tell me there is a wait now for another hour till German factory orders comes out........
EUR GDP sure didn't shock anyone into moving one way or the other...
yawn....

we could be here for days..................

.....weeks....

looks good for s1 after all

looking better all the time..

1st tgt hit 1/2 way point to s1.
world's longest trade,
zzzzzzz
+18 pips
I just know there are tons of traders waiting at s1 with buy and sell orders.
it's where it's happening.....

could get hung up around200 ema for a while..

1h fisher and transform are above 0
30 min fisher and transform are below 0
who wins?
favorable is that 1hr fisher and transform do not have to break below 0 for prices to visit s1, it could just be the bottom of the retracement.
if they break below then there'smore to go, s2 is in sight...

have no doubt that s1 will get visited.
it'll probably be quite a while before it does with more retracing..hanging around the 200 ema forever...
closed early +10
total for day +28

makes sense, pivots, 200 ema...they work...
now I want to experiment with the trend identifying technique. This can be done on the simulator but it will require some preparation. As the technique involves lines drawn that carry through to other time frames. The simulator locks on 1 time frame.
I could try making a template with desired lines on it and then when the simulator starts apply that template.. draw the lines on the 30 min, but open the 5 min in the simulator. I'll try that.
Or open a separate 5 min and identify the lines from the 30 and whenthe simulator opens just draw the lines on it then.
so it can be done, just a little extra preparation.
love that simulator....

Good morning Jiva,

I see you have a new home! I will follow from here and add anything ideas on entry and exits. Sounds like you are having a good day! I am doing all right, not much trading today, I have been doing a lot things with my other business. Hopefully tomorrow I will have more time to trade. Keep bagging those Pips!

Lohad

so cute like a ballerina, on tippy-toes..
adorable...

little late entering but this is a test of the new trend finder strategy
chart on left is 5 min, right is 1 min
lines on 5 min bleed thru to 1 min
2nd varmov on 5min gets a vertical line to mark a trend green up red down.
trade is on 1 min..

journaling is good for trading.
just thinking out loud kind of thing.
helps to organize.
no cheating, like covering up bloopers to "look better", or hiding kooky mind days, defeats the purpose.
nice to see ya here in the neighborhood.

the entry was at the white check mark on the 1 min, got in too late,
but the trade would have brought 5 to 10 pips very quickly..

the trade was so fast could hardly get a screen shot
the red vertical line on the 5 min marks a safe entry for shorting on the 1min...
+6 pips 1 min trade..on the 1 min
there's hope for this strategy.......

the best time to take this trade on the 1 min is right after a fresh signal on the 5 min.
there should be some momentum to the move before any retracing that is worth 5 to 10 pips... in a matter of seconds...

I'm wondering why is my mt4 so slow.
click and wait forever. Looked in the indicator folder and how on earth there was over 40 copies of each indicator, lots of custom ones too... in that folder is beyond me. It's gonna be all day getting rid of them...
just highlighting with ctrl key and deleting as a group is a gonna take a while...
weird..

there's another one...
signal on 5 min, 2nd varmov dot turned blue,
enter long on 1 min
and in less then 1 min +6 pips...
incredible.
there's more to these moves.
but for now let me be able to spot the entries and capture the initial momentum.

maybe someone planted some kind of virus or worm or something in one of these meta downloads. the more I try to delete the zillions of copies of meta indis the more copies there are.
now there are 63 copies of each and they just won't go away the more I delete the more they multiply.
gonna keep trying to get rid of them but might have to do something more drastic...
