...Now that I've finished my academy award speech, haha, I want to let anybody new to the thread know this stuff works. I have never had a profitable month in my trading before coming here, and I am currently in my 2nd profitable one (on demo of course ) trading only daily bar setups. I am still dealing with my urge to overtrade, but am finding it easier and easier to pass on less than perfect setups each time one nails me for a loss...
I haven't read all the thread (yet) but ever since trading Jim's PA a sense of confident in taking trades fills me.. U know what you're doing, where you're heading and what to avoid along the way to arrive there safely..

Now reading your post I'm inspired to go all the way back to where I stopped
Just then when I finish I'll start posting again .. Better catch up quick this thread moves exponentially fast alright .

Outside Bars.... the bigger the better?
I agree, the more I traded them, the more I look for something that looks like this, a speaker in fxstreet, Sam Seiden which specializes in trading with orderflows said that trapped money = momentum, watch his videos, they're really good IMO in terms of understanding the markets from it's very basic, the days of Adam Smith : supply and demand, although he dont tell us to use bigger timeframes, but he's always saying that he's a swing trader, so that speaks for itself I think

this is what I look for :

brilliance in full view here folks.

a lot of futures daytraders work off of this principle. if the breakout from this trapped money happens to fall on a big round number its even better.

very nice,

I'm hoping for a huge spit down to 140.00 like we had 11-25-2009....
I think you'll get your wish dan, but about the huge spit I wouldn't know

143.5 support is exhausted.

wow... I'm really honored... thanks a lot Jim, this means a lot, I don't think I'm worthy of the compliment though, I'm simply resounding what Sam Seiden said.

but if me pointing this out could help the others, I'm all in

Looks like NZD is trying to gather some real bearish momentum here. This is good for my NZD/USD (from monthly chart) & NZD/CHF (from weekly) longer term shorts.

Minor regular bullish divergence on the NC hourly though for those interested in a quick scalp or intra-day trade. But my bias is still to the downside from weekly chart.

Let's take a look...

Eur/jpy was never a long IB trade. Notice all the heaps and heaps of bar lows above the IB that a long trade would immediately be running into, if you look at the purple ppz I've drawn on my chart you'll see that the IB was nothing but a retest of the purple ppz which price was finally able to break after 4 unsuccessful attempts,

Now the Gbp/Nzd IB trade...clearly it has nothing to support it except maybe the fact that it was with the overall trend, I've attached a Eur/Usd 4H chart with an example of how we like our IBs...notice...
Thank you ghous, you keep me away from my emotion, and keep me continue moving on in the game.

This is what caught me the most when I was touch trading...Every now and then the trend "seemed" to be reversing, and each time price would merely only stall and then continue with the previous flow and I would get stopped out. I ended up digging again despite knowing I was in a hole.

Mark (Raczekfx) has been trading his swings for 15 years now and the what's on his chart is not all that he is looking at. When he shorts on a bullish trend and longs on a bearish trend he knows, better than we can ever imagine, what he is up to.

I agree with jarroo 110%...

I agree with...
PA with trend is always the best, i.e retracement PA (with confluences of course).

The Rac-man can spot these walls that stop the trend . . these heavily layered confluenced levels. We can spot them too, but Rac can fine tune them to a horizonal line. lol

wow... my post got deleted because of a connection error, doh.

I was talking about trends, how the trades I took recently which I thought was with the trend... (long EURGBP, short USDCHF) was actually stopped out for a small loss or at BE when the market turned around at me, and the breakout wasn't really all hard and fast.

On the contrary, trades that I took "Counter Trend" is actually profiting 5 times the amount I risked currently (short AUDUSD, long USDCAD)

Which brings me to the thought of whether I was reading the wrong trend...

Hey Mike,

How would you rate such outside bars?? I mean these are not exactly at a swing high, they're not even at a pull back...they are right in the middle of a downtrend/uptrend...

what's your take on these??
