In 15m chart of ranging mkt, those candlesticks stay in a box that formed as a few of short candlesticks in a higher tf, such as 1H or 4H chart.

Bcoz of that, u dont need to check 1h or 4h charts during ur trading(altough u can), u already can get clues by these former candlesticks in 15m chart.

Thanks for those posts boomslang (thats tree snake in afrikaans by the way).

Yep trending markets like happens late Asian/pre euro and sometimes during US will chop you to death if you over trade. We try and avoid unless all candles are lining up, don't trade against wicks.

Mrs V also likes reverse break out trade that we sometimes do. For example channel break out fails on upside, almost like a 2b set up, high prob that the low of channel will fall and vice versa.

As u see, the ucad (just opened) use the same paterrn for entry as gu,eu(above pics) this morning. Consistent profit=repeat the simple profitable paterrn----this is the reversal paterrn i talked about yesterday.
  • #3,454
  • Nov 10, 2010 12:54am Nov 10, 2010 12:54am
One thing should notice is that the ucad blue angle's not as sharp as gu and eu's<----the falling red candlestick is short size<----mkt slows/less people play the game/selling power is not strong/near SR

No matter which reason, u should narrow down ur expect tp!

For the gu, after i bought, the candlestick didnt form as higher high, so i put my stoploss as the previous lowest price in case gu's in sideway mkt (actually it was).

when i said "candlestick beark up blue line"(long as example), it means the whole body, or at least half of the body, of candlestick cross up blue, close price higher than blue line. Usually I use sencond candlestick to confirm.

Trailing stop option: ur in profit, everytime when price breaks SR, u can increase ur stop at that level. i usually put a little bit far(5-8pips) away from SR.
  • #3,459
  • Nov 10, 2010 8:29am Nov 10, 2010 8:29am
Notice, reversal occurs after a big strong trend with a little small ranging... u should check the former candlestick group, to see if they were in trend.....otherwise the entry signal may fake, it may merely a big ranging/retacement in 1H/4H tf. Its hard to filter (u can get a hint by the angle of 20sma; check the correlated ccy),well its the diff b/w professtional traders and newbie. We must grow up, or we'll be the loser among 95%.
