maybe good movement for a scalp? have a look at m5 and see what pips you can make just by using engulfing candles and putting stop above previous candle high...
h1 piercing pattern, m5 engulfer carries no weight over htf.
some people never learn
Thank You

Fixing flows convoluted

"One minute the interbank brokers are looking for buy orders to offset their sell orders, the next minute the imbalance goes the other way. Could be a very sloppy month-end fixing."

never gonna try it but looking at the m5 it seems to always be good for at least 10 - 20 pips...

Whats wrong with that? I'm not saying it will give me the trend reversal...

Give the boy a chance. He is relatively new to all this and hopefully he has learned something here.

nothing wrong with that, if you know what you're doing.

selling for 10-20 pips over an m5 pattern when the higher tf just produced a bullish reversal is extremely high risk. You might get away with it, most of the time you won't. Since the htf just closed a bullish reversal, if you have to use the m5 trigger, look to buy dip instead of selling into a buying pressure.
Thank You

take the last 5 engulfing candles on m5 and say you only wanted a RR of 1 with s/l above previous candle high... You would have gotten TP EVERY TIME!!!

thats all I'm saying, just floating it out there to see if someone knows something about this kind of trading (ie Scalping)... Dont wanna step on toes or sound ignorant...

Been scalping here and there on the m5, proves to be fruitful with total of 100pips. Slowly but surely got the hang of it. Market has been erratic for the past 2 hours and that was a good opportunity to scalp. However, the longer TF still proves the better trading method as you are well prepared as how much you can win or lose. Happy trading everyone.

I am giving him a chance .. and my time of day. It's because when you're new, it's easy to start making stupid trades that ends up becoming habitual. And believe me, it's not easy to shake those bad habits off.
He only needs to tell me to shut it & I will leave him alone

Well said... Habitual action will lead traders to either winning or losing trades. The basic must be strong enough so that it won't be easily stirred around by some jumpy hunch...:-D
