I'll be taking a trade to the downside on the eur/usd after this price formation down to 1.2180 initially and then we'll see from there. S/L will be placed at 1.2280 initially.

Once I find a few of my old papers, I'll be posting up some pretty powerful stuff about these setups. It may be a while as I think I may have left them in PA though

This info just touches on how often these trades on the 4 hour will reach the previous lows/closes in a moving trend.

Well, I woke up to a 15 pip loss on the euro earlier (placed my S/L behind the BEOB on the hourly that formed around 8 hours ago) and I've just opened another short order at 1.2295 after that impulsive run up. I got in on this based on the 5 minute action with the divergence. It's a free one already so I'm going to see how low she can goooo

Wow, weak day so far and I'm still sitting on a loss of 15 for the day. I'm waiting for the next four hour close to possibly go long the aud/jpy or chf/jpy at the moment. Other than that, there's not much going on. Even the 5 minute charts are junk today so far.

I just got in long at 73.67 on the aud/jpy. I'll post charts up with the full reasoning for it later. For the basics, it was just a divergent pin at a swing low. If this turns into a daily pin, I'll be keeping this on until 75.50 at least. I'm heading out the door to go fishing for the night right now, have a good one ladies and gents!

The aud/jpy turned into a daily pin bar so I'll be holding onto it for a while once it breaks. First stop, for me, is the 4 hour resistance area to contend with at 75.50. Right now, we're sitting with 85 pips profit.

All of a sudden, I'm feeling a bit better about that bad play on the euro from yesterday.

I've decided to close this trade at 75.00 and wait for a retracement or just let it go completely from here on out. If I see a retracement where I could enter on low risk for the same initial targets, I'll enter. If I don't see that however, I'll just gladly wait for the next round. Closed for 135 pips, I don't like the uncertainty of NFP fridays; I'll take my cash in hand any day. Have a good night ladies and gents!

I've just placed two more longs on the chf/jpy and the aud/jpy due to the 4 hour bullish pin bars that just showed up. I'll post up charts in a second.

Tell me, how easy is it? The chf/jpy is looking great right along with the aud/jpy. We got the retracement I was talking about last night for the aud pair as well. It's a lot better to make the same setup twice than just once. Double the money, double the fun! lol

K.I.S.S.
I've been running 4 different broker feeds lol This one is straight from the metaquotes website. The 4 hour bars on here close at 10 AM, 2 PM, 6 PM, 10 PM and 2 AM.

I actually like it the best considering that when it closes in the AM, most news is already done and priced in. I've noticed my feeds that have earlier closes get busted a lot more when a setup comes around.
