Here's what my 5 min chart looks like now...

Now that's a proper trading day. How many pips did you manage?

Yes, you are correct... It's a lot easier and leaves no pain behind....
Thanks, you are great in pinpointing out what the market is suggesting..

OK, step 1, change trading strategy, the rest will follow...

There is a time and a place for countertrading, however as a "newer" trader I would figure out trend following first, lots easier. Predicting a reversal in a massive rally has cost many a trader his/her account.

Put up a 40-60 bar H1/H4, today it starts at the bottom left of your screen and ends at the top right, guess where the trend is? Now look for your dips and buy the shite out of 'm. Keep doing it until your trade gets stopped out, then start thinking about CT-ing it.

As a next level to watch I have 5926, the R3.

Sometimes it is hard to see the forest through the trees. The blatantly obvious is often discounted, I mean trading can't be that easy now can it?

Hello

I have just found your thread, and whilst I have only been back to Thursday's pages, I have picked up so much useful information - particularly the use of the boxes and the TL.

I have been using a fairly simple trading plan which uses bounces (or not) off the daily pivot, and the associated S & R. However, I would like to look at Cloggie's ideas tomorrow in real time.

As I am a complete newbie here, my posts are hand-moderated which apparently may take up to six hours (?!) and so I don't know how timely my questions will be, but I wondered if most of you guys are around most days?

Anyway, thanks again for the info and look forward to trading with you tomorrow! Also, thanks for confirmation of the Franky fakeouts - caught me out a couple of times!

I re-entered trade at the arrow, 5872 after she tested the bottom of the box she fell out of .. could I have gotten in lower? That lower TL was only put on after she made that retrace low .. was there another signal to get in earlier for the new long?

You missed one inside TL that could have given you an earlier clue. Every time a TL disects a range it tends to from a wedge that is very tradeable. Zoom out a bit on your 15 and you'll see it. Below is roughly where she is.

If you are in, stay in unless the range goes, if you are thinking about it, sit on your hands for a bit longer. If you are a scalper, scalp the lTL.

Am not a gold trader so can't help you there, and don't want to phantom a guess. Check with Grashid, he trades XAU quite a bit.

And trading can be very simple, how do you imagine any of the old boys ever made any money?

Range broken, taken my profit of that last dip. Am done hogging the thread for the day, promised 4X I would talk her through another day live after she had a chance to play with it a bit over the weekend.

Delivered.

So 4X how many pips on a Moody Monday?

OK .. I see it .. it looks like to get that angle you started at the high of Sunday. Why did you start there? i.e. do you always look at high or low of prev day for possible TL continuation on current day?

No, the high of Friday, ignore the Sunday cr@p. Mine was only an estimate based on your cropped chart. Inside TL's are very powerful in a trend. I have had mine on the H4 for over 2 months and still use it.
