Hi Vantage,

are the yellow marked candles the entries from today?

Cheers

Thomas
Looking at gu these looked good as well. Little/no upper wick on the buy, lower wick on the sell.

Didn't trade it as news is in 5 mins but this is such a good example of a support area but there has been a distinct lh and then a solid close right at bottom of range, normally a good set up. NB little/no lower wick on the set up candle.

Got into a nice trade earlier usually wouldn't trade UK/Euro int rate days so might just switch off for the day, either that or carry on checking out aj. We'll see.

I'll look at above Q's when I can.

Yes I know FO trade but 100% system. 1hr 2 hammers + 2nd higher close, 15 min 2 hammers off the DO. Nice 5 min hl.

Out too early popped right through W M3 which was at 15 level/high of Asian session and a nice target short term.
I don't know why I didn't do this one I did one yesterday right on FO and got -3 but it did actually work and todays trade was a much better setup had the chance to get BE if turned at 200! I'm not happy with myself and don't think I will trade anymore with the interest rate at 12 and the initial jobless at 1.30.

Reflex the FO can be very tricky and often either doesn't do much or can reverse on you, have a look back. I often avoid it, but 100% system with good candles a different issue.

Yeah if I look back through my log I never normally get more than 15pips in FO so it unlikely I would have been in all the move. I need to keep telling myself if its a really nice 100% system trade I have to do it especially if I have the chance to get to BE.

Cheers Vantage.

Just a quick question vantage do you ever trade past 2pm cause I have noticed a few good setups the last couple of days or do you normally make your pips in London? I am only asking because there might be a trade after the initial jobless and don't want to trade inbetween the news today

Not that often to be quite honest. If its trending nicely with good set ups, go for it.

Hi,

Its not a system hl on 5 min as there was no wave/move lower, just a gradual push up. I do take some trades when an initial entry has missed when 1 min chart has had a hl (in this case) above a key level, the RN.

what about the green candle before yours - it went through the RN and closed above?

The pullback below the low of the shooting star from 6:10 GMT drew in some shorts, that were cooked, when it was taken out.

nice

I haven't had good experience when price is moving through RN, when the wave is above or below entirely thats when I look. The move you refer to is a 1min hl, but I wouldn't have taken that. Just me.

Hi Vantage,

would this be a 100% system trade too? It went through the 75 psych level.

picture 2 sums up my question:
Are you taking both trades if 100% system trades?

Although it would be more likely for the short to be a "LH reversal at extreme" trade as we would be on the wrong side of the H1 8lwma.

cheers and thanks

Vantage will probably have to correct me but the yellow arrow isn't a 100% system trade because it has already ran up 135pips from 9.00am gmt so V would be losing interest in longs I think. You did have an 15min HL hammer but you would have been going against the bearish two bar spike on the hourly after a big run.

I might be wrong but I thought I would try and answer.

Cheers Reflex.

Thanks reflex,

you're right.

That's why I attached "chart" 2 to make my point clear.

The two bigger retracements yesterday were basically stop runs. Just have a look where they ended.

What I try to figure out is how to re-enter after such an event.

Cheers

Thomas

Hi guys,

How would you've entered today in this "7-9GMT 1min LH reversal" trade?

I've marked some setup candles. The problem is, that they all close with a shave bottom and the next candle does not retrace the setup candle (except case 3 - which is 30 pips from the top).

Do you enter at the market?

Cheers

Thomas

Hi,

I played a bit with the Recent S/R indi from Hanover.

If anybody is interested I'll post the settings.

disregard the MAs - they are no system MAs
