This is not 100 % rule and you may miss tons of trades

But overall will keep you out of a lot of trouble.

Imagine GU when they tapped Monday close in London last night and you are trying to sell .....wham 150 pip later you are crying

today we saw down move in flag ,tapped 61,8 retrace doji on 10 min , went
long with 20 pip stop just closed for 37 pip at POC , only trade for today as market is pretty flat
I have to agree with you. I think that keeping a mental note of the close of yesterday in relationship to where the price is at the current point in time is a smart habit.

Today I have been watching as huge volume comes in after every drop below 1.3740. Futures contracts are up at the end of the week and I cant help to think that there may be a new high in the cards for the Eur before then. Thanks for the input everyone.

Just click his name and read his last 50-100 posts...you'll learn more that way anyway. edit: I'm not trying to be rude, but he really doesn't seem to have a "method", I just used that term. More so, he has a few different methods and he combines them with VSA? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Such as the "don't long unless price is above yesterday/pivot etc.". If you see stopping volume on one of these days at a support line.. go long.

no I have no method ... to be honest you are right. Alot of the time is a little intuition and some simple rules.

for example 10 min gu no demand right at prior resistance of London high ... but I did not take the sell . Why is simple pros are buying dips every thing is a retrace for today , that yes you can make money on , but unless there is a buying climax or a massive ultra high volume up bar on 60 min I will ot take sells today on GU today

Malcolmb14, a few questions for you:
I have trial esignal and TG...I found that TG repaint ad some signals are not right ...just for example I found so many "no demand" and seams they are in wrong place...I am just learning..maybe Iam wrong.then there is long down candel with high volume and there is no signal....i would say it is missing signal...

look at where the no demand bars are ,, you can get no demand bars in uptrends

BUT these are not sell signals , may be a sign of potential weakenss

the best place to look for no demand bars are after an upthrust ... like here in this example.

The other place to look for them is if a down move has started and we get a slight retrace up , 2nd charts eu

Intel,

I'm at work now, but if you'll still need it, I have a pivot indi that draw the open/close/high/low of the previous session (you can select not to draw the pivots and other options), with the choice of the opening session's hour;
And I have a period converter to have all the offline TF that you wish, and that refreshes in real time.

Will be home in 2h or 3h.

Yes please many thanks

I am not sure what you mean by "not in right place" They sometimes hang around the extremes of the chart. I changed the setting of "ind standoff" to 0 and that fixed it.

Here you go.
A few notes about their use:

Using the period converter:
- Open a M1 chart of the pair you wish. This M1 chart has to stay constantly open (can be minimized, obviously);
- Drag the period converter on it;
- On its inputs, you must select the period multiplier of the TF you wish to obtain (for example, choose 10 to obtain a M10 chart);
- Tick the "allow dll imports" and "allow external experts imports" on the common tab;
- Now go to "File", "Open offline", and choose the desired chart (M10).

Using the pivot indicator:
- This indicator allows you to choose the session time, draws pivots, mid-pivots, sweetspots (the round numbers), Fibos, camarilla;
- Change the above to true/false to draw the ones you want;
For the timezone:
- There are 2 parameters, "LocalTimeZone" and "DestTimeZone";
- The first one is to input the time of your platform, in GMT (for example, I'm GMT+0, so my input is 0);
- The second one was created to input the GMT+x of the session you wish, but this will reset the session at midnight (local time) - so if, as me, you wish to reset the sessions at, say, 17:00 local time, you must know what time is that on your platform, and input the difference to midnight...
Example:
My sessions ends at 17:00 local... that's 22:00 on my platform... so I input 2.

Anyway, it's easier to just play with that last input, until you see the vertical line where you wish it to be
