CRB's will sometimes probide HL/LH entries that do not occur on M5 charts. This was one example (at least on my charts). Very nice trade.

Very nice buy, like that one! 60 pip moves in FH for eur is an above normal move for that time. As it bumped up against Y's highs and the 75 psych level ivo time of day all I could say is take profits there and don't wait for TS to get hit.

I have been asked what trades are staying, we look at 6 potential set ups at the moment.

I think this will be staying. For in and around the LO, never really looked at other times. This is an entry if there isn't a 2b or hl/lh around or as a 2nd chance if thats been missed.

Typically there'll be a decent 15 min candle and this would be 1st 1 min move after that.

1 min chart. We got 1 of these but there were many more chances around.

The ma's are an 8 lwma on close and 30 ema on close.

Trade 1st hl/lh after the ema cross. You need good angle on 30 ema in direction of trade. Set up candle, must not be too large around 7/8 pips max, look for little/no upper wick (for a buy opp for sell obviously) and price must go 1 pip or so above set up candle.

All these are from this am gu, eu, au.

Could you please elaborate what signifies a set up candle for us newbies to this trading style?

For buys see the arrow ups. The first positive close candle after the retracement down.

For the sell, arrow down, the first neg close candle after the retracement up.

If you've see me mention good 15 min candle next 1 min move this is what I've meant.

Ok, I seen the arrow pointing to the candle, I knew why just wanted to make sure.

If it goes wrong we look to exit around -6 pips and as often gives 15-25 it needs a lot of losing trades to make up for 1 winner.

Very nice, it looks like you're finding this methodology hard to grasp!!!

It also appears we have discovered the grail, when you put your computer on!!

Jokes aside, very very nice stuff.

Jag and Vantage - thanks for your replies - always appreciated.

Now - CRB's - are they the range bars?

David - great trades!

this move started with a reversal on the daily, a Vantage HL on H4. What a beauty. Then a re-entry using the 2b this morning.

After triple top... price retraced to 3950+DP 3947.
Wanted to enter at candle A , BUT atm , BBMACD was still blue , so waited for the 1st bar to close with BBMACD on red and entered short. I prefer to enter on retracements but in this case it was a 123 BO of point 2.
Closed for +19 at RN 3900.
Q: would u have entered earlier like at bar A ? exit ?
Tks

Great entry Musashi

2 pips bar are really fast ...you need to think very quick :nerd:
Do you look at the same time at other TF's

7RB won't load on my charts on anything other than gu so I have taken off. On your chart yes bar A a great entry. David if you hadn't exited that big eu spike would no doubt had you at BE, you've had a good trade and pips in the bank.

I sold gu earlier just after LO moved to BE and of course there was a spike and I got taken out.

A nice 15 min shooting star on eu (yes I was worried about the dble btm ie it couldn't close lower) then we had this 1 min lh below the SS low. Exited just above RN, gave it a few chances to go and it didn't seem like it wanted to.

AU and GU had same type moves at the same time.

Mrs V did her back yesterday and I have to go get some medicine and goodies (biltong and droe wors - don't ask, been here 30 years and still can't take that stuff! Imagine eating dried uncooked rat, our US friends will know biltong as beef jerky, droe wors = dry sausage also not cooked just left to shrivel up).
