I have noted that alot of the traders here use an hour chart and even a 4 hour chart when they are talking about price action etc........I was wondering if anyone could explain how you pick your long and or short entries with such a long timeframe.

Thanks in advance to anyone that replies.
In longer time frame.. i dont think so that picking an entry level is important.. the most important thing you got the clear direction in which way it go.. then pick the entry either is short or long.. and have a reasonable stop loss in your mind..

Thanks for the good link. Very clear guy. His arguments are excellent. He is almost on the spot in what is happening during the last weeks: buy Japanese bonds, run away from Stocks.... the only thing left to confirm his views is the bet on European debt default which is definitively not a crazy option but that's the only part that hasn't going worst the last few weeks (but still is way too early to call the end of the debt crisis so he may hit the jackpot with his FUND)...

he put a figure on European bank debt verses u.s. banks comparably. i always thought 3 or 4 times.. but i will take his word for it. just like i have said a ponzi scheme for japan. stick a fork in japan.. . and a shell game for the e banks.. now if if the ecb is printing is yet to be known. but now you see how the bs bond sales are bought. as for as japan goes.. there will be some pissed off people if it crashes.. but it cant be stopped. the spend 200% of what they take in..once the little boy says "the kings has no clothes" the adults will see..eventually... then we resume...with hyperspeed..

When you see what you want to see on the larger TF do you then look to a shorter TF to pick a more exact entry? Otherwise it seems like you would be missing a good part of a move???? Sorry if this seems to be a lame quesiton - I am still relativly new at this (been trading and learning on my own for just over a year - no bought courses) just my own sweat and tears........of and also joy in there also....otherwise I would not still be learning!

Thanks for any insight you can offer........
No. You have a better, stronger signal on bigger time frame, and now you want to go to smaller tf and take less reliable signal? The lower you go, the noisier PA becomes.

maybe the personal saving rate of japan individuals is dropping. but most of the debt is owed by institutional public entities if i remember well

it don't matter.. when you spend 200% of what you take in.. in the future they will have to pay more % to get buyers. meanwhile the yen rises hurting them each tick of the clock (exports).. to add salt to the wound they are aging population. and now have to compete with china and other Asian countries.
and the yen climbs.... tock........ its a mofu living on a volcano

hey.. and the e banks passed the stress test.. i feel safe now. dont you?

H4 gives me the hint of direction, h1 is the current PA, m15 is very good for picking up entries, m5 for scalping

The forest (h4) consist of trees (h1 and m15) and leafs (m5)

eur/gbp cannot break range upside, so looks we are going down when gbp/usd is definitely going there atm.

if we close below 2749 today its over. atm we are between to major fibs just 75 pips apart.. that makes this area super strong.. but since it was breached. i bet we get sucked down into it.. and back to 2133.5 and then some...
Indeed, 2725 still being a sweet spot for bulls' defences. I dont wanna make longer term analysis, but its obvious that in mid term (if it closes below ur 2749 or mine 2725) the first target is 2451

well i am thinking either is just a #... if we get some bounce after 2703 and a close below ill chalk it up to a trend resumption.

when the euro decouples the others, it wont matter as much as it has in the last decade. Im looking for it to decouple from commodities then coattail riding will be over.
