Strat's Long Term Stress Free Trading

Quoting kalvind
The Boss has just shown back to back hammer or bond candles which have yet to be confirmed. The Boss MA' are undecided but there is a down cycle which needs confirmation if it is an intermediate bottom to this cycle as the last two Boss candles are showing.
However the TL down both on the Boss & Worker has been respected but I would wait to see what the last two Boss candles reveal and see what happens around 80 level if it gets down there?
That's correct, I have both the bars in my mind. It has broken 80 on several occassions and likely will do that again and as we know PA is King.

Right on, Spinner - Oil & Gas are very heavy manipulated as I found out to my detriment and cost - bastards!
If you think oil and gas are heavily manipulated, you should have a go at trading cotton or pork belly futures; they are much worse.

I gave up years ago to trade FX, mainly because of this problem
"Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler" Albert Einstein
I'd agree Flem with all the above. Natty Gas is a sod to trade and the guys that trade it and other commods are experts in the ONE commod that they trade. They have twitter accounts and other comms methods that circumnavigate the normal procedures and it's all about who hears first etc. I had my ass burnt on trading natty gas in futures and via ETFs - then I thought why bother when there will more than likely be a better trade setting up in FX?

I think if you are going to trade a commod then become an expert on that alone maybe? Otherwise stick with FX and Indices!!
Trade less and become more profitable!

Gbp/Usd: Monthly and Weekly bearish.
I expect bearish PASR to retest area 1.5500 with target 1.5240.
Sounds good.. I'd say more like 1.52ish though.
How about EURJPY any thoughts on that?

Because I like Strat's rambles I have to post.
Here is my EC chart. I plan a trade on Monday.
Plan:
Entry at 13350 because of BEO, close bellow 20, confirmed LH, bearish control candle on weekly
SL=13620 (-270pips)
T1 = 13220 (130pips)
T2 = 13020 (330pips)

Any comments welcome.

Depending on how my Sunday bar closes will determine if I'll place an orders on this one, but will be one I'm watching. BB and B are still both down and not showing any signs of stopping just yet. Unless I missed something of course, which is very well likely.
Comments as always are more than welcome. As a matter of fact, highly encouraged.

I don't see any SR lines on your chart so what is going to help you decide direction of your trade if any?

You should have S in the 128.5 zone which is quite strong so a strong close below that would be the time to go short. Suitable PA at S would be the reason to go long, in the meantime you can keep your money in the bank!

I have 3 levels from the BB and B charts marked on my chart. Those are the areas I see on my chart when I look further to the left. Not sure what you see on your chart, as I use my Mark 1 eyes.
Good morning (where I am),
I hope to be a student of this system and have started to read the important documents, learn the terms. Should I live so long, then I will read the whole thread also.

I have learned the vital bars or at least thought so until I saw the post with 'PIN BARS' and the reply that we do not use PBs here.

I thought that the 'hammer' 'hanging man' were pin bars and I can accept that they may not be referred to in that fashion on this thread.

Any elucidation would be appreciated.

If you are reading the thread - and you should be - you will find that the term PIN BARS comes largely from J16. Hammer, Shooting Stars, Hanging Man are indeed all PIN bars but the using and identifying the correct term enables you to see the difference between them. They have different meanings for Price Action depending on where they are located on the chart. We ONLY use them at points of Support and/or Resistance - hence PASR.
Search the thread, Google the terms but find out what they MEAN for Price Action. Do not trade until you have sorted these out.

I've actually put a SHORT order here too. In addition I'd like to emphasize the long term outlook. Both Weekly and Monthly are bearish.
Note the Monthly chart, if you look at the past 3 monthly candles (including August) price didn't manage to close above 1.35. This says something about 1.35. Then scroll back to 2002, 2006 and 2007 for further confirmation of the power of 1.35 level.

EDIT: I find that Big Round Numbers (or Psycho Numbers) are very important, many times are the most powerful S/R levels, and easy to identify. There was a statistical study about order flow near round numbers in FX markets (I have to dig for the link but I remember being referenced on FF threads also) that emphasized the clustering of orders near these levels thus generating powerful S/R levels. The "advantage" of these S/R levels is that they are fixed and are seen & used by everybody.

I did rather think that the answer was just that, thank you. I had previously only concerned myself with shooting stars but now I have 'collected' the SLTSFT set of candles.

Yes, I am on the thread reading it bit by bit and although I am not totally uneducated in Forex terms, the 'thread' term for the item helps to differentiate them for me.

I will demo according to my understanding of the system as I believe that this will re-inforce my learning.

Thanks for your help.

Hey Spinner, nothing is excluded, I hope I can bag some pips in case it wants to go to the Monthly 20.

For a long term outlook the BB is bearish just by looking at it's MA's. I don't understand your timing though? If you look at the B there is a controlling bar set some eight weeks ago, since then it has been going sideways and the price is arounf 50% retracement of this bar? I have drawn two TL's on the B and these are at an interesting juncture. I would wait for the B to be in harmony with the BB.
As you have stated that the worker is in agreement with the BB but the odd one out is the B? Is this still a long term short from this point, I think the B has yet to tell us?

Attachment 538868
Hey kalvind, the B might be a bit rangy indeed. But look at the low of your controlling candle, it is at ~1.3, 300+ pips distance as of now. Way enough to pull the SL to BE and take profit on first 3rd. Or take full profit if you think is the bottom of the range. I favor the continuation.

Cheers,

HI Strat：

At this moment , I'm confused. Because in the big picture of the Daily, the Price is going up,but on the small picture when I watching the MAs, The price up cross the MA 20,and the MA50 is the support. Price is testing the R. Does this a good time to go short?

SL: the high of the last swing , 1.2930
1st TP: 1.2725
2st TP: 1.2590
