This market is in a slow churn mode. This suggestion might help.

In the past I've always used the "Guppy" system which I believe blends
itself to this system very well in determining the trend. If you put

5 ema green (close)
8 ema green
10 ema green
12 ema green
15 ema green

30 ema red (close)
35 ema
40 ema
45 ema
50 ema
55 ema
60 ema

on your chart along with the Force system between both systems it is
nailing the pips. Just a suggestion, give it a try.

Where I have labeled closed,I closed about 80% of the sell and I let it run a little bit longer,as I thought it was getting a little risky,but managed to get a few more pips.
I still have a lot to learn,as I am still going into losing trades,but I like this system and want to get better

I've been trading the basic system (the first one that was posted) and I get some great signals, but a lot of them are just false signals! how do you filter out all these false signals?

If you entered on the 2nd down candle, looks like a good basic trade!

Joe,

Would love to help you, could you post some pics and we can look at them and see what we got! Can't help you if I can't see your chart. One thing to note is that this is not a blind system that we just enter everything XYZ happens. make sure you have momentum, there is no S/R, BRN (Big Round Numbers) or pivots near by.

just some food for thought.

Confluence of S/R lines leads to high probability trades. While trading the Asia session I have seen that a confluence of S/R lines ACROSS pairs may increase probability even more. I know that this is thread is suppose to be only EURUSD talk but I think it still relevant. So, for example, if you see E/U, A/U and G/U all hitting a resistant zone at the same time then that should increase probability.

Does anyone look across pairs for S/R? Is this a common trading method? If so, any relevant threads on FF about it?

I do not know of any threads though. Another one to watch is the Dollar index.

I found them talking about the interrelated markets like this. In that thread they called it the three kingdoms. the Eur/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY. If all three are moving in sync like they should you can trust the patterns more. Actually different from this thread, I actually look to trade all three at the same time, Then when i can get all three to enter a supply or demand zone at the same time, i stack my trades.

Anyways, back to this thread. any questions, PM me

Rufus and others,

Does anyone use the crossover signal alert that was posted in the
middle of this thread? (red arrow & green arrow)

Is it accurate or does it seem to lag just a bit?

thanks

It works... I use one called Audioalerts. It is what you see in the chart above.

Hi Winty

Flat choppy days are account eaters. I don't know of any system where by itself will make pips in situations like we just had.

I circled two I took today, not just because of the F5 signal but also where and when the signals occured.

The first was after price hit my demand (First visit) zone on 4h chart. I closed it when it had trouble with 3800.

The second was the return trip to the demand zone after the initial reaction off 3800. Closed all of this one at demand area.

Also both of these were durring the first 2 hours of the Tokyo session. The rest of Tokyo untill Frankfurt opens is usually pretty choppy and I will usually stay away from intraday trades durring these times. The exception being if price is running into a strong S/D area then I will again be looking for a F5 signal.

So don't get discouraged with choppy days they are tough. I was kicking myself with the second position because price was starting to stall on me and I almost clopsed it. But the weight of the trend brought it into profit.

I hope this is a help. Choppy days are good for study and watching price action. Our extra time with loved ones.

Trade well

Rufus

I should also add. When we have a trading range of 60 pips or more. That is my personal range to work with. Then I will at times take signals at the extreems of the range.

Patience is crucial. I leapt into 2 (losing) trades during London open, which was choppy and no sense of direction. This destroyed my confidence for the rest a the day where i watched some good moves during US trading. As you've mentioned before Rufus, the psychological side to this is key.

I will get there......

I'm glad to hear someone saying this. Some days, and today was one of them, the best trading tool i have is clicking on the little red box on the upper corner of the screen! I was not flowing with the market, i could feel it, so I went back to rule number 1, protect your capital. I did not like the landscape of the battle, so i did not fight.

Hi Rufus
I was watching the first trade you have in your pic and was thinking,is this one for me to take,but I didn't take it in the end. I looked at macd rising but stoch looked over bought for me to have any confidence in taking this trade.You profited well in taking it,but why did you feel confident in taking it?
On the second on the down trend,did you end your trade shortly when stoch went back up shortly.if not,how did you know the trend was going to continue back down to demand zone?
