Here is my take....

Great wisdom ... The Captain and perhaps an example if I may.
Thanks for posting your "Chart", have not seen the triangle formation :-(

Having trouble with entrys in a profitable spot.
Any advice to finding better entrys that I can profit off of would be good.
I keep taking bad trade after bad trade. And loose a lot more then i win.
In order to improve your entry`s you must realise that ltf PA lags, its just effect of price reaction on levels. So we enter directly at ppa lines or later with pullback to our entry level. But why we should do that ?. Answer is simple because we want to reduce our risk . Sometimes I trade not because I believe that price go north/south only because I can risk so small and the level of interest is clear.

Look out for Frankf/London open, lot of fake breakouts occurs that time, let 1h candle show you the way.

Thanks for the chart Ken. I can see them much clearly now.

Took last cross and reverse myself for few pips and was planning to post here but missed my mind. But your charts are much better analyzed. I had missed so many things that you bring out there.

Based on those 3 candles, and the fact that it was a clear breakout yet price was having a very tough time heading North would have made me nervous and either I would have closed or put my SL to BE.
Thanks for taking time analyzing newbie charts and offering help.

If you come across one or even make one would you mind posting it here? Iv searched for one myself, but the ones iv come across just really messes up the charts and as far as programming one myself then I honestly wouldnt even know where to start. Thanks in advance
Will do.

Sorry for the late response, I was caught up with another project that I've been working on in my apartment and kinda spaced on putting one together.

I couldn't find a well working indicator in my brief search but I'll dedicate some time this weekend to programming one.

It is actually 3, 20" or 19" monitors, two behind and to the side of first are oriented vertically ( up and down) but when I push PRT/SC this is how it saves all the screens in my mouse.

I normally crop the chart I want and that is how I post on thread.

A huge lcd or led monitor would be nice also. If I ever get a OFFICE . I would love big screens on a wall across the room from my desk that could show loads of data at a single glance left.
A little tidbit;

If you want to take a screen cap of a particular window just hit alt + prtscrn and then when you paste the photo in paint it'll be the already cropped photo.

No problem mate Don't know if you checked the indicator i posted from hanover but it did the trick for me. You can set it so it only draws the us and asian session highs and lows in a small delicate line, which is what I was looking for at least.

Hello Ken and company,
i just have a few questions regarding the method were using here:

when using the 35/50 spike through retractment trade, i have noticed that it isnt nearly as effective as Eohater mentions. I read somewhere that there was a 35 pip variance to this trade effectively stating that the price can keep going over 35 pips through the crossed over candle. are there any specific characteristics of this trade that im missing out on? i know if it goes over35 pips its a continuation, but from watching charts ive notived it doesnt always retract after the cross.

The second question is do you guys take the MA touch trades in a trending market without hesitation? i have been trading bounces of the 21 EMA lately with great success. i used to trade using the 5 EMA but it led to too many losses.

also thanks for responding to my questions earlier Ken and Dr Mongolia
Cheers
Pete

I posted a chart just yesterday showing 3 good 35/50 cross trades. The key is that trade is a retracement trade and being such the 35/50 area should fall within a good trading zone level ( fib level) best would be 50% or 61.8%

Why you also here us talk of a 50/50 trade which is the 50 ema and the 50% fib line

same with the 62 ema touch trade. 62/62 62 ema and 61.8% fib on one hr chart . That is a touch trade as a lot can happen in a hour and you can miss it completely.

The best and easiest trades in my opinion are the 5/10/21 ema touch trades the 1 and 5 O'clock trades . They if taken right after the move of the pair begins the first 1 or 5 O'clock trade can get you in with the trend almost without losing any of the gains offered.

chart to follow.

Thanks ken. Am sure many newbies here like me will greatly appreciate if you quote specific trade names (like 62 EMA touch. It may be obvious for others but makes it so easy for us to follow. I can quickly relate it to manual and posts here.

Will appreciate your posts here or in original thread please.

Here is a cross and reverse i attempted and lost. Not much of a loss here because i trailed well but still not a winner. d1 10 EMA was also supporting my trade. i couldn't find any faults here. bad luck maybe. Next trade please.

I don't know of any cross reverse trades on EO's using a one hr chart . I don't like how far that cross was in the fib levels. . Just my take

The problem was that the 35 pip range was calculated from the high and not from the close of the bar which crossed the 35.

Trade I took last night after work, The 10:00 1 hr candle closed as a nice pin wick above the 61.8% fib level closed below. I went ahead and entered adjusting my risk to allow some wiggle room . I could have waited for a retest of the wicks high for a tighter entry. I was thinking to adjust my TP and stop once it moved away from the top but fell asleep and my auto TP got hit around 50 Pips. Which is OK with me.

Been spending the day with my wife valentines day and all. Eating, drinking , Basically making merry. Hope everyone is enjoying the day as well.

What I call a crazy chart.

I always have trouble trading charts like this. They don't seem to respect resistance areas as much as a "normal chart does".

The way I recognize a crazy chart:

1. a lot of candles have upper and lower wicks
2. tops and bottoms are Flat not rounded.
3. a lot of strong impusive moves up and down.

I seem to loose a lot on charts like this.. Mostly GU been like this a lot I've noticed. I guess the answer is not to trade when a chart looks like this.
I'm going to start changing the background on them to red to remind me not to trade it.

http://my.jetscreenshot.com/5685/20110215-5jkj-77kb.jpg

This next chart is a easier chart for me to trade A/U.. Less volatile, rounder tops and bottoms, seems to not make violent moves though resistance area's.
