as soon as there is a little sign for a trade against the current direction, you are in

Already in at the ND on the M5 after the 2 bar reversal
Fair play! I'll be waiting for a 20min no demand. Hourly and 20min charts form my strategy. I personally find the 5min a bit noisy.

I only trade 2 setups but, I will trade them WHENEVER I see them. If I'm unsure about the trend direction I will set a specific SL. Otherwise I will move to BE fairly quickly and let it run till a higher TF tells me to exit.

In this trade, I would have exited by now but the H1 is looking weak enough to keep me in.

I am waiting for a similar setup to form on the H1 but we are lacking in volume in the build up. The setup will have to be perfect for the rest of it in order to get me in.

Seems to be a decent amount of volume to me, or do you look for it to actually go into U-high? (do you use TradeGuider or something else?)

No I just use MT4 and FXCM feed. The volume I'm talking about should be on the wide spread up bar prior to the UT. But, there is little.

Yeah just checked your profile. So out of interest why doesn't the volume on the upthrust suffice?

It does sometimes but to get the reliability we need to trade, we must see signs of weakness in the background. Otherwise, the move could be so small that we get stopped out on a regular basis.

Before I trade, normally I must see:-

1. Weakness in the background.
2. A fake out.
3. Confirmation that it WAS a fake out.
4. No interest from SM in higher prices.

I'm happy with my profits.

Is anyone still in?

Cheers for the info, as you explain in the post, it's important to have a strict set of rules to follow. I was looking for a No demand bar on the 20min Eddie chart, got an even close bar at 14:40 so didn't go in. It's now moved 19 pips down, just the way it goes!

In my setups I will use an 'even close' bar and sometimes undr the right conditions I'll use a NS instead of a ND and vice versa. I dont recommend this tho.

Yeah i know people who take them as is but the way I see it is one pip lower then it's not the bar i'm looking for. If it hits 1.3336 i'll kick myself a bit though

Those of you who took part in the last quiz question, should recognise the last up bar. Note the result........

Hey, have your entry rules and stick to them. I have wandered off mine a couple of times this last fortnight and lost each time.

True. Thing is, i can close my program and open it and there's every chance it will be the No Demand! Anyway, time for me to let it go methinks! Something for me to blog about!
