An example of your solid confirmation? I usually look for a confirming pattern on 15 min, then see if 1 hr confirms that. Do you use price only or some other indicator to confirm?

PS .. watching this GU is better than a sleeping pill for those who like to nap.
my confirmation comes from snow white on 4 hour, shes too high to enter a long position and not yet turned to think about shorting, this means some major eur or gbp news sometime during tokyo or europe session tomolo will drive her south

I don't like scalping at all, don't have the mindset for it I think. Ranging is the worst time for me. Am in the red for today, after a good run of green days, that is annoying. Am still waiting for that wedge to go convincingly, that's when the scalpers get caught out by being in a fall sense of security.

Prayers answered as I type this? Nah, another fake out.
Actually, a lot of scalpers will trade much the way I do, playing support to resistance and exit.

If you understand where support and resistance are and have a fair sense of direction, the rest really isn't that bad.

Once my targets get reached, I will wait for the next set up. Playing safety ranges. I could hope for more and will leave some irons in the fire, but when the PA turns against, I pick no bones, exit trade, wait for trigger on confirmation and back in.

I don't claim to nut every top and bottom, really doesn't matter, for the ranges I trade, with some degree of proper money management and heftier size lots, I really am not typically waiting for my targets all too long. The only time I find myself in wait is when the cycle is complete, and waiting on trigger to the counter. (I don't like to assume)

Trends with the bigs, counters with security, quick on the trigger, money up, money down.

I love this game.

I look at support and resistance differently, for me it indicates the larger moves. I would rather pay commission on a 50-100 pip move then a 5-15 pip one. As a breakout and trend trader, H4 S/R's are important to me and we are stationary now around a biggy on H4, once the breakout occurs, I can happily sit and wait for the next one hundreds of pips away and sleep well at night doing so.

A good friend of mine scalps large lots and is happy with 10-20 pip a go, I can't find his setups and he has nightmares using mine.

I agree, it is a lot nicer to only pay the broker once for 100-150 pips. I play the bigger charts too, but cannot ignore the money on the smaller time frames.

As an example, I am still holding a short from 1.5364, have seen it close to 600 pips, yet I am still holding it and its hovering around 400 right now...Since I have taken this trade, I have amassed a grander scale than the max that was reached on this single trade. Over the last 2 days, I have taken close to 1000 on a fist full of trades. So, can do the same, pay the broker once for the long ones, and pay him a few more times for the quickies.

When I started trading, one of the systems I caught onto was a "Why fight the market, take the long trips and spend your days doing what you want", system.

The issue with it was, I would have had to have waited 8 months in order for these indicators to produce this 1 great trade. Even on that, there was no gaurntee. I took the same stratagy and applied it to the shorter time frames, playing 4 hour cycles off of 1, 5, 15, 30m charts. Suprsingly they all play the same.

If you recognize your break out stratagy on the longer time frames, see if you can apply it to the shorter, if nothing else, it might get you in on some better price action then waiting for a 4hr to produce your trigger.

I am not trying to brag about being the best trader, I work with traders that make my account on single trades. I am not saying that I nut every top and bottom. For the time that I have to spend at my tradestation, I do want to make the most of it, so I do what I do.

A lot of head fakes on the day, I myself have found myself saying the same thing.

Keep your eyes on the prize.

When target is in, then I will sit and wait for the next best thing to come along.

Holding the shorts still, target still 1.4940ish.

zero movement right now, stuck in the peak of the M15 triangle and sleeping on the MR2, lol. So our next move will be in Asia session?
Seems Forexlion is right (and thats often), next news is moving the pound.

Every time when pound is gaining strength, BOE comes out of the woodwork and bash it down again, BOE wantīs a weak pound to boost a the economy a bit, thatīs why i think even if technicals point up, when breaking 1.50 it will be shortlived because of King and pals and i vote for the second scenario
