AUD/USD daily looks nice if it closes as a PIN. Shame it's NFP Friday tomorrow..
Don't trade anything that you are not comfortable with. Do take a "demo" position and watch how the price action plays out. IMHO, it will help you gain confidence in this material.

Heya K.I.S.S.,

Could I ask what MAs those are on your chart. I assume it's 150ema... what's the other?

Hi All,

This is my first post. I've been lurking for a while, and want to thank all of you who have been so generous in sharing your knowledge. I've learned a ton already, but the most important thing I've learned is that I still have a lot to learn...

I took a trade (demo) on USD/JPY daily today based on a break of a multi-bar low (2/4, 3/11, 5/6 (flash-crash), and 6/29) at a weekly PPZ (88.40). I guess reading Mike's posts that have been referenced several times this past week had me looking for multi-bar highs/lows...

Entry: 88.18 (10 pips below 6/29 low)
Stop: 88.87 (10 pips above high of 6/30 inside bar)
Target1: 87.34 (minor PPZ)
Target2: 87.00 (BRN)

Price stalled right at T1 before spiking down to reach T2 and then reversed, so I'm feeling pretty good about the trade, but since nobody mentioned this setup on the thread today, I'm sure there are plenty of reason why I should not have taken it. One issue that I am aware of is that the multi-bar low is a little "sloppy" in that there is a bit of a range between the lows (41 pips if you discount the flash-crash spike, 58 if you count it).

Please be as critical as you like. I'm here to learn!

Thanks,

Eric

Thanks to all the 3 of you !! You guys are awesome..Just to let you know, I learnt this but I don't know why I moved away from this to look at some other techniques. Am finally back to this.. Everything else looks so complex out there
This is really simple. Haven't been able to master it though. Decided to start all over again!!

Hello Cyrus-

I use the 40, 150, 365 and 729. I am watching the 21 for some testing and it was just best that I leave it on my charts. The same goes with the 175. I trade with fibs quite a bit and am just testing the 21 and 175 for confluence tendencies. In a few mos you could see different ones LOL!

The 729 is a mainstay for me. I use it on shorter TF's with good success as moving S/R. Remember that there is no magical MA. Just use one that works with what you are doing. The 150 and 365 are from here and I have used thm with great results since becoming a J16 disciple.

Ahhh... righteo. I totally know where you're coming from.

While we're on the topic of AUDUSD... and tinkering... check this out. New tool I added to the box. MA is 150ema as u already know. =)

I've VERY big on horizontal lines (PPZ, etc) not so on the diagonals like TLs, cause they're subjective. I don't use TLs for entry, only for analysis, but this one is beginning to change the game cause of a price-time element present.

Hi Everyone, newbie here again.
Question, if one were limited to say 12 currency pairs, does it matter which ones are the best to follow? Also,
are there some here you would stay away from, or on the flip side would definitely have on there watch list. Thanks in advance.

Hello Sjr,
everyone follows & trades different pairs.
most trade the majors, because of high liquidity & 'familiarity', others explore other pairs.
try to avoid choppy/rangy pairs, unless u get enough experience to trade ranges (which are profitable in itself.)
the specific pairs to trade does not matter as long as u are familiar with them & u pick the best setups to trade. sooner or later u will expand from the '12pairs' u trade, in your continuing quest to find & trade the best setups.

Welcome & keep posting Sir!

Not abt the pairs friend. It's about the speculator. Everyone works the game differently but James16 and the seniors here teach reaaallly sound principles. Just that you gotta work itlooonnnong enough to make it your own. Kinda developing muscle memory.

Thx Supreme.

Forgive the next question, but I'm assuming 12 pairs would be more than enough to follow, at least to start with?

Sjr,
Sure, it's more than enough to keep u busy.
it's very personal, actually. some look at & trade just 1, some 4 or 5, others monitor & trade 10-20pairs.
i hope u dont become rigid & get caught up with the 'number of pairs monitored & traded issue'. the main objective is for us to find & trade the high probability setups

I took it on my 'crazy/gambling' demo account. I have 2 demos, one for serious trading that I'm doing minimum requirements and one for trades that I'd love to take but not too sure if I should.

Did its job for me as well
