It sends you a text/e-mail when price gets to where the line you plotted is.

I don't mind at all. I do feel a little more "weight" if you will. This is just because right now I REALLY want to succeed and I am still settling in. My family has been very supportive over the past couple of years and I look at the time that my wife and kids have allowed me to study and read charts as just as important as my time that I have invested. In short I want to succeed for them as much as I do personally. As far as managing a trade, I set an initial TP but move to BE after I am substantailly in profit. I can't be too specific because I trade on multiple TF's. Nothing fancy or complicated. I don't want to spend all day everyday in front of the computer. I use line alerters when I have to be away or sleep and I am in a trade or looking to get into a trade at a certain price level. Lastly, I am having the time of my life! This is less stressful than running my other business. Refer to what Jacko has said about trading forex and I'll ditto that.

Hi everyone.

I haven't taken any J16 trades in quite some time now, due to becoming more picky.

I was wondering if inside bars are worth trading, not the I4B type, but IBs at swing highs lows?

There are a few of these setups at the moment.

Apologies if this has been discussed before. I'm still reading through the thread and am up to only page 300.

Here's one of these IB setups. This is from the USD/CHF Daily.

1. IB at swing high.
2. Bearish trend
3. Off PPZ
4. Off Fib 50% level

Any comments? Have I drawn the FIB correctly?

I haven't marked in the PPZ, but I think it's fairly obvious.

Thanks in advance.



Edit: Have just noticed that it would be trading into a round number, 1.01, and another PPZ, so would be extra cautious.

i dont think its worth it on this one as the mother candle is to large. by the time u put a sell stop you would be at the double bottom region around 1.003 and then just below that is the big round number of 1.000.

I only do the absolute basics but it would seem to me if i was going to do anything id play a break of the 1.000 level or drop to the 4 hour and just play a break of the 1.01 ppz.

i think as with every pa if u play them at good swing highs and lows they have a high chance of winning even if its an IB.

Thanks Matt.

I played a quick scalp trade. I took the short and price stalled at 1.01 for 20 minutes or so, so I waited. Had price reversed back up, I would have been out quickly but then price broke down so I hung on. Then I exited for a 10 pip gain when a nasty looking PB formed on that timeframe with divergence.

It'll be interesting to see how things develop.

look at that! Jacko in the house!


Hey KissFan, do you use any of the montly/weekly pivots on your charts? My charts have started to look kind of messy and I HATE it! Just wondering how simple you keep your view?

I do use weekly and 4hr for anything that I am trading 1hr or above. Your next question will be "why not daily pivots?". I find that the daily will coincide with a 4hr, so most of the time do not plot them in an effort to keep my charts clean. My charts still are too busy so when I post one I try to post a clean one as not to confuse anyone.

no failure glyd, just never broke the bar.

now forming inside bar/s "inside" the outside bar. very common.

Both Friday's BEOBs on the above failed.

Bundy, many thanks for taking the time to help me think a bit more about them.

The CAD Daily BUOB looks real nice, just didn't break. (yet ).

Monthly PB still very much in play. Although both of these setups have a bit of traffic, they are very manageable.

OMG!
another one?
This time Usd/Can
again on 4 hr

Trend has been down albeit not steeply down -

I am seeing tail at 1.0575 - not really a big round number - but sort of?
First - weak resistance is 1.0501 - but maybe doesn't really count? free to go below 1.0500
