Hummmm? Me's not smart enough most of the time to pick the exact level to enter, so me targets an area and adds the biggest when it gets the deepest in the area, but if you's gonna add when it's going in reverse you needs to understand when to add when it's going your way.

Tis' not hard once you understand the math.

fwiw, no one shoots all their ammo at the first skirmish and lives to finish the battle. Markets are great at letting people paint themselves into a corner.

da math
yea no one can expect to pick an exact entry level........what i meant by averaging down was not a good strategy was that it is a lot more difficult to be profitable using this technique when you are trading against the trend. Ive seen traders get over a hundred pips in the red, only hoping that price will come back in their favor.....on top of all that they are trading against the trend hoping to catch a bottom or top.....this simply doesnt work very often

sure I guess you can say i "average" on entering a swing position. But I space my full position over 20-30 pips, not something like 200 pips...... and I never trade against the trend, and my stops for the positions net will never be more than 50-80 pips. If I need more than that for a position to come back to profitability, then ive obviously done something wrong in my analysis and i should re-evaluate the trade.

what is swing trade?

how do u trade swing trade ?

swing trading more or less is playing the swing highs or lows of a trend, it works well on tf's higher than 2h(ie 4h, 8h daily) The swing highs and lows of the trend are very easily defined by these higher tf charts and it is much easier to see the real price action of the trend......I always swing trade with the trend......that is why i have been saying im short on uj, because if you look at these tf's, the trend hasn't changed all it is doing is consolidating at the lows......

there are a lot of people out there trying to catch a bottom on this, and that's fine if its their strategy, but then they'll get all pissed off when they get their dicks kicked in when the trend continues and they'll sit there and contemplate how they screwed up. After they get burnt on trying to catch the bottom, they decide hmmm maybe they should go with the trend now, but now the trend is finally changing and they will get burnt yet one more time trying to follow a trend that has changed. This mistake is sooooo common.......I used to do it, then I got smart!

I don't do that. I wait till a trend has been confirmed then I go where the big money goes It's so much easier and less stressful.

he such a narrowminded...
How could he know how big my account and how i trade.. unless he is a psychic... LOL...



This is the important point...
No single method trading is the best among others.... so never judge others method ...

no I'm not narrow minded, I'm just realistic.......

How could I know how big your account is? well this is what I'm factoring into the equation....You just recently joined FF, which tells me that you don't have much live trading experience, if any. Also by looking at your previous posts, that is telling me the same thing. That's why I said you are probably not trading a large live account, one that has enough capital to average down against a trend(and UJ pair, which is not a beginners pair to trade) with very little experience. However you do show effort to learn more which we all need to do! Trading takes a lot of effort and experience to be good.

Again I'm not trying to be a dick, I'm just being realistic

according to the daily spinning top with the inside bar, i expect the usd/yen to go higher till around 86.72 area before going back down if it has to. But the risk reward in defavorable. i will stay out

Maybe....a hung parliament has always been on the cards and has been discussed ad nausium through the media here, so I shouldn't be suprised if this was 'built in' to the pa....up to a point of course.

In a few hours time we will see, but the aussies are caught between a rock and a hard place.....many don't like Gillard for her underhanded and arrogant handling of the whole party leadership issue.....and many don't like Abbot because he is perceived to be too weak for the job.

Quite what the market does in response, we will have to wait and see, but I don't know whether there will be a huge reaction or not in this pair....I doubt it. If there is, I hope it's to the downside....that way I'll have another bottom to pick!!!

so u look at only 4H , 8H and Daily charts ..?

u enter on the 2H chart ..?

when do u exit ..?

I wait till a trend has been confirmed then I go where the big money goes It's so much easier and less stressful.
how do u confirm a trend has established ?

say, in uptrend, do u look at HH and HL on the 2H chart .. or other higher timeframe to confirm trend ...

how many HH and HL must it be before it is confirmed that the uptrend has established ?

------------

the picture below ..

is this how a swing high and swing low look like ?

is this the definition of swing ?

how should the candle pattern be to confirm that the swing is beginning or ending ..?

-------------

i am reading through the 'epic' of Strat's Long Term thread,starting with google index ... need to know about swing and if urs is similar to his thought process ...

--------------

thanks for ur patience in explaining things to me

No problem man....I understood what you were getting at....after a bit of thinking! I remember people saying the same thing about USA wanting to keep crude in USD. I could go on about that idiot Bush and his reasoning for the invasion.....but I don't think Bush actually possessed the power of reasoning to begin with....lol......but that's a topic for a different forum!!

It will be interesting this week, both from a trading standpoint and from a political one too, as far as Aussie politics goes......having the greens hold the balance of power does not bode well for a government to actually govern for a for a full term. I see another election in the not-too-distant future

No, because the greens hold the balance of power, so they will want to stop uranium mining in Aussie

Inside bar last Friday.

Daily close above 85.795 will give longs the much needed steam, while a close below 85.174 will cause me to bail my long bias.

Daily charts still showing HD which also helps the long bias.

Time will tell but shorting should be done with caution ATM.

Daily shows a large descending wedge with the current bottom coming in some where around 83.00-.

The immediate time frames appear to be forming a range bounded on top by the mid 86's with the bottom doubling off last Novembers spike low of 84.80's.

The prior failed break south of 84.82 could be viewed as a spring if new highs above 86.50 are seen after last weeks failed low. If seen look for extra long opportunities on the following pullback long term targets the top of the daily wedge immediate targets at double the range distance.

Any sustained break on the southern edge of the range target the bottom of the daily wedge, but be prepared for action from the BOJ .

In the interim, pick a direction north or south and play the range sides.

fwiw...........
