Do small details like that really matter? The "shooting star" is clearly showing that sellers were stronger than buyers even though we got a small wick at the bottom.

We are trying to see beyond the candles right? I think people are a bit too fussy with perfect candle formations. As long as the candle is showing us the market sentiment then the location of it should be more important than having a perfect form.

EXACTLY! Thank you, young Mr Naws!

Unlike J16 and their followers we are not restricted by perfect candle form and proportions. All we want from the candle is its message, and the part it plays in the footprint.

Doing good, Naws.

Eur Gbp 50% must go for confirmation..may be couple of hundred down,but monthly may hold the bears off next week based on monthly,monthly key to trend at this point.

Hello Strat,
thank you for your input.

On the weekly chart, the last week candle is a small shooting star. It might be profit taking time on gold. I'm gonna wait to see if the price goes down to the 20 ema. For now, I'm looking for trades in the direction of the trend so I will wait for a pullback.

I took your advice and draw DSRI on the daily chart. I hope I got this right
Also I put a Fibonacci retracements on the last swing (AB) and there are a few interesting spots on the chart.

First...

Regrettably, no, my friend, you have drawn a DEMAND DSRI.

I certainly don't intend to convey that I have trading whipped!...
Very good. We are all agreed. The PLAN is KEY to our success.

So summarizing my earlier detailed post on THE PLAN:

PLAN the trade

Believe the PLAN

Trust the PLAN

Do not interfere with the PLAN

If you can’t do this, re-write your PLAN and keep re-writing until you can.

If you find you can’t – you don’t have a trade.

Well I never meant the monthly macd s going to give shorts a problem ,just monthly price.I'm sure I read in the index that you use some cycle indicators ,I must be wrong.Cycle I think has turned down on the weekly.Is it Ronald MacDonald because of the color.Also in the index you refer to J16.He also uses MACD for divergence but his is plain black and white so I suppose thats ok.
Please see my PM for explanation.

Bones, thanks for your contribution. Apologies Strat if this is taking us into the realms of indicators temporarily.
Bones, firstly, you will always be the doctor on Startrek.
Secondly, i've been experimenting with MACD as per J16, for the last month or so, and if i'm honest, i can find no benefit. Sure, it's used as a means of confluence, probably the last to confirm a trade.
Can i ask,after your studies, have you found it to be consistently useful ?
Personally, i find it an additional distraction, but hey, lots of the J16 ers swear by it, so perhaps i'm missing something. It didn't stay long on my charts.
Thanks, gotta go, Klingons on the Starboard Bow!

You still don't need it tho as the MAs will show you the same thing as Price Action.

I used to use it prior to this thread but found it of little use other than for divergence and convergence.

Just plot a 12 and 26 MA on the chart and look at the patterns of the gaps between them - same as the histogram roughly, so another space at the base of your chart wasted and causing distraction from Price Action IMO!!

Individual candles can help with the final decision in direction but I have found better results concentrating on the lower lows, higher highs etc, TL breaks and breakout tests; combined with panning out a little on the worker chart.

It allows you to see the whole picture and not just that 'final candle reversal pattern' that many new traders hang their coats on (me included). By panning out and knowing the boss and big boss levels as Blackeagle recommends, you can wait until the PA reaches one of those key levels and only zoom in when the price reaches that 'zone'.

I will be short and sweet as I realize I have been out of turn within this room,
It works for me only as confluence and with practise can enhance ,bigger the divergence the better ,price such as Japanese candles are actually my thing...I will try to actually read thread

Hi Tony

I think just as Hussin didnt like anything less than the 4 Hr Tf,....Strat doesnt like indicators,and i might add nor do you use them for a decision..
But i think you will enjoy this thread and Strat..
