Here you go.. you can track each candle action realtime. Just paste this in your favorite chart indicator and it will put the main sessions on the chart as well as the GMT time. you will know when each candle is about to close. I wrote it myself for myself so it could be better but it works. Naturally, you will need to alter your local GMT time offset.

hi Asgard,

thanks for the code, I'll try to paste it, cause i dont know how to do .

about closing of the candle, you mean that you know just couple of seconds before real time, before not closed ? or lets say, as if it closes 1-2 seconds in your chart before real execution,close ?

I am sorry, I dont understand really.

ok then, i have also tried to do something similiar to this actually. I use futures price, because it seems 1-2 seconds faster than the platform I use, and you know, sometimes, you can catch 4-5 pips difference, and if it goes in the same direction, then you are starting with profit. but sometimes, it makes me fool, and i take the reverse position. and sometimes it requotes.

I want to know ahead of time what everyone else is going to see a few seconds later. The reason is that I open a trade a few seconds before the close if it is looking good. Else, some pros have software that opens before I can get in and the broker gets hit with a bunch of orders on candle close and I am out maybe 10 points from candle close to the time I can get the order in. This is really common. I am on ECN so the price I get is the arrival price not the quoted price.

You know way more than me in this area and I would be interested to hear about it.

hi asgard,

here my simple indicator, volumeeee

regarding using future price, you know , actually my brokers platform is slow sometimes, and these 3-4 pip jumps which seen 1-2 seconds before in futures than my brookers mt4, oftenly makes me fool actually. it's for scalping, and i cant manage it. i have to think and execute so faster. besides, it requotes..

for example, i can see my friends screen as well, and he did several times, but he did failed twice. and all about is just for 5-6 pips.


and i dont know whether it is healthy thing to do for scalping.

meanwhile, i tried to copypaste, however, i couldnt do it.
thank you for it.
I attached volumes..

quik update on GU continue from previous post ref: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=6736

busyy day for me today. Anyway here goes

FOMC day & it makes for a very volatile day for most majors. There are alot of activities in resistance levels with pushing & pulling of supply & demand all over the place. It takes a braveheart to trade GU today

Weakness appears for now. (GU may still move upwards to 1.5500 or slightly above that but it would be wise to wait for some test or skip it altogether)

Failed trade. I should have not tried to trade counter the trend without ideal vsa setup, since the price is above daily pivot and the range is within daily ATR.

Any comments will be highly appreciated!

Too busy today to make timely updates...

As mentioned in my previous post, EU did retrace further with a ABC type correction, just below 50% retracement level at which it starts pickup up strengths again to the eventual break out of todays high.

Hello, lascavel!

Would you explain me please, how did you recognize accumulation? As I know, accumulation phase consist of some points: 1. Spreads must be narrow 2. Volume should shrink near support line and increase near resistance line. 3. And market should go sideways.

Please, help me and correct if I'm wrong!

P.S.: Sorry for my English!

continue my GU post from ref: http://www.forexfactory.com/showpost...postcount=6747

GU headed north after a test which negate previous signs of weakness. In this case the importance of waiting for a test with all the strengths in the background & focusing on these key elements is essential.

Don't be afraid YET
We got a nice double top at the major resistance + declining volume on wide spread up M30.....for me it seems like it's no interest in CURRENT price so week either go down from now(more likely) or if it can blew resistance today in the end of us or in asia.
Something definitely cooking over there! If price will be at that top for a while from now than breakout to upside can be very strong! Or it will go down more calmly
Don't exit short, just put stop in 490 area, do you see where your ATR line is?

Opinions please.

Please see chart below. Although I have uploaded the chart, the questions I have are for a general idea.

Q1. In an up trend, if we have a wide spread up bar closing close to the high on climatic volume and the next bar is down. All followed by a narrower spread up bar on even higher volume closing off the high. Is it reasonable to expect a retrace of some sort rather than a reversal?

Because if it were going to reverse we should not get the down bar between the up bars, the narrower spread bar would be a narrow spread(not just narrower) and it would come directly after the wide spread up bar to indicate the end of a rising market or squat.

Q2. AFTER THE 2 CLIMATIC BARS. If we see a no selling pressure followed imediately by a no supply/test, can we legitimately look to go long.

Q3. IF WE CAN LOOK TO GO LONG. Is the break of the high of the no supply/test the right entry point?



I hope the questions are clear.

Thanks

Please see chart below....
I think you need to look at little bit bigger picture and compare what's going on to previous top. Read my previous post.
Technically you are right but it's dangerous to buy or sell based on a 15m data when such significant facts is near: double top and highest high from almost 2 month.

Thanks for replying

If you look at my VERY FIRST PARAGRAPH you'll see that I said the questions are for a GENERAL IDEA and not specific to this chart.
