Thanks, Yes S/R rules. The only difficult part is having the discipline to trade every singe setup without hesitation. Entries always look scary in these zones...

As you can see in the 1st chart I posted today I was waiting for a close down and a break up. Why? From a strictly S/R was a 1st test of broken R. If you see the 1st break long of that R early in the morning it was never tested + US markets were opening so I tight stops and trade the 1st pullback to a broken resistance. Sometimes or most of time this happens in the next 1 or 2 bars after the break but not always.

I hope it helps

Yes totally makes sense. I just thought maybe you entered on a lower timeframe due to price movement at that point, but that's hardly possible (as ist already is a 15 minute chart).

Thank you.

Price stalling at last swing low before the gap ... Target 1 exit ...Other 1/2 open still have a chance.

any reason why you didn't go long from support at 126 when price reacted there? Presumably you expected price to continue to the stronger support below (2nd Target).

  • Apr 13, 2010 10:47am Apr 13, 2010 10:47am
Yes, you can see that in this zoom out chart that broken daily resistance (I was expecting a retest before a big move up) and also I was not 100% sure if there was real support there (that why the target 1 too), especially the overnight funny bar at 4AM was a very difficult to read.

Now after the fact is clear that I should have drawn a support there but to be honest with you I wasn't sure.

Hi Sisse,

Ok great - I didn't see that you were using a MTF approach, I like your trading - keep it up!

Are you profitable with this?

What is your Profit Factor on this?

Thanks,
Vip

guess121, What do you mean does not seem to be marked correctly?

Here is the daily chart with the major S/R lines and marking the swings on my charts. (Chart 1)


Flo, I didn't take because i wasn't looking at the EJ. I was trying to take a setup on oil futures ...

Flo, "...It's "just" a lower high that's broken, so no new higher high before long." Yes i understand where are you coming from and I must admit it can be tricky and you can obviously have a different view on that swing. This is my chart marking the swings (Chart 2).

sisse...

Yes, it is only clear on a 15 min chart but I think there was very strong momentum off that level which for me at least made it an entry off a 5 min chart with a dose of luck.

Nice trading, thanks for posting your commentary.

Thanks. You are right in the 15m you can see it clearly. Sometimes missing some very fast swings is the tradeoff when using longer timeframes... but yeap longer timeframes are my "filter".
