Quoting PurePrice
I still use the triple hit method as presented by lawgirl ... However, if I see a channel as well, then the more reason I think that the triple hit will hold. I like to setup my TP near the other side of channel - a few pips just in case the Price does not quite make it all the way to the other end of the channel. I do NOT like to trade the channel in oposite direction of the trend ... meaning with the EUR/USD or AUD USD channel presented earlier, I will not short the top of the channel usually (there is much risk the price may break though the...
You have a clear understanding of this, PP. Excellent explanation. And you are new to FF?

My new trading day started about 30 min. ago. I have just finished a quick scan of 16 pairs and found an amazing number of them with 3 TF confirmation. Now I will go back through them and look for taps, breakouts and channels. They are:

USDJPY - short
AUDJPY - short
EURGBP - long
GBPJPY - short
EURCHF - long
EURAUD - long
CHFJPY - short

This pair had its third tap on the 6:00a.m. candle (my time). This has been going down since for 70-80 pips.

At last, here is an intelligent thread by someone who can obviously trade: no ego and no pedestal. Some owners of the biggest threads would do well to take a leaf out of your book.

Nice one and thanks Lawgirl21.


If I'm not mistaken, you enter on the close of the 3-touch bar (forgetting trend direction for now). Have you had any experience of entering on a lower time-frame (as I believe you do for range breaks), to get a better R:R? e.g. you have your 2-bar TL on 4hr but enter on a subsequent 1hr TF touch, off the 4hr TL - make sense?

I have no affinity for 4hr TF, due to broker-time candle variances. Trading the 2-bar TL formed on the daily, looking for entry off good hourly PA (like a hammer) that 'touched', would be appealing and theoretically has merit.

Or has the plot been lost?

THE CHART LOVERS METHOD

I am starting this thread for those of us who love charts..watching them...studying them...analyzing them and of course, making money from them.

My system is simple. It is a basic trend following one using the weekly, daily and H4 charts. I have made a goodly amount of money using this system, although I cannot say that I "discovered" it.

I have traded forex for approximately 4 years, have lost more than a few thousand dollars, have responded to more than one $99 special...

Thanks for your kind words.

No need to wait for 3rd touch close, just verify by PA that trade is going in desired direction. I often do go to a 15M chart to watch PA and enter after close of 15M candle in desired direction. Waiting for close of H4 candle would lose too many pips, I think.

I like your idea of a 2-bar TL on the daily. Try it and let us know how it is working. I have a trade going on now with a 3 touch long on daily chart on USDCAD pair since yesterday..still negative. I will post an update on that trade.

I'm on FXDD US. California, which is PST. Use your brokers' H4 formation time. Mine are 10:00, 2:00 and 6:00.

I have NOT taken any of these trades yet! That was just the initial results of the initial scan for TF confirmation. Please re-read that post.

I can't really tell from your chart, but it looks like you still had 3 taps for a short trade.

I'm assuming this is the short you're looking at? Sure that would have worked, however I can't find a tap that works just before the big drop.

My time is Australian GMT+10 with FXCM Australia.. in fact, when I pull up the charts in the fxcm trading platform it actually has the same (pretty much) chart as you posted

thanks
