Romancing the Price

update: April 2012

I won't be posting my daily trades other than some odd ones any longer.. I think i did more enough.. I leave to other traders to join us and post their trades on this thread...

ps/. I don't do any coaching other than trying to help some traders freely as and when I have a time.. If and when you ask for help via pm, if you don't get any answer from me, it's because either time shortage or you have not put your case properly...

The idea was to turn this thread into showcase of trades from many different traders by adding posting restrictions.

However, outcome is not turned out to the one desired so far. Other than my posts there are very few traders posting their trades on this thread.

Unfortunately, there are many who lives off the noise it seems.. By tantalizing beginners for cheap thrills is not the way to help others IMHO..

I have seen many 10+v people asking beginners questions and no vouch people with a sound grasp of trading. If you don't have 10+v and like to post your trades here PM me.

This thread is for those souls who can give without expecting anything back.. I only hope there are still some left.

This thread is not about providing signal service or calls to brag about.. It aims to provide food for thought for people who take trading seriously.. Copying others trades will not teach you anything, in fact it'll hinder you becoming a trader.

The trades I post usually do not have any markings or explanations. The simple reason for that is, I just don't have the time to do it as I'm a mainly scalp trader.. However, I have to agree that I should at least mark the entry candle somehow so it becomes easy for others to see the reason behind the entries.. I'll try to put some marker as time permits..

If there are others posting their trades and analysis, I would be happy to minimize my posts even stop altogether without any problem.. I have nothing to prove.. Just trying to help as much as I can.. That's all..

In order to avoid noise, I have taken Ifmyante's sound suggestion on board and put permission system for posting on this thread.. Only 10+ vouch and buddy list members can post from now on.. If you have something to contribute and don't have 10+ vouch please pm me and I'll consider adding you to my buddy list..

ONLY TRADES and ANALYSIS... NO CHIT-CHAT PLEASE

Finally, I got around to updating the RED's PA. However, instead of publishing as a PDF file, I have decided to put it on a website. It's a free Google site. There were few good reason for choosing website instead of PDF:

1. Accessible to anybody from anywhere with Internet access. No need to download and save.
2. Much more easy to update and manage quickly.
3. Website provides a better structure and functionality when it comes to navigating content.
4. Ability to add articles and tutorials in a structured manner with easy access.

What can I say, since I discovered supply and demand PA trading I fall in love with it, hence the title of this thread. I'm still learning it.

To save me some typing I'll paste the kind of intro I have written for the supply & demand PA PDF here.

I was doing some odd posts in EU thread as I was waiting for trades set-ups. Red himself pointed out his Price Action thread. I’m extremely grateful he did. What I discovered there was pure Gold in terms of trading.

I’ve started to read from the page 1 and was saving the charts and words, I thought will help me learning Price Action trading properly.

I decided to share my learning experience with anybody who is interested in PA trading. As Red says, in the spirit of Traders helping Traders. So I put all the collected charts and words in a PDF file for everybody to drive some benefit from it.

PDF file mostly, in fact about 98% of it contains charts of Red and other traders in Red’s thread. Red’s Army of Traders. However, these are not ordinary charts. Everything you need to know about Supply and Demand PA are on charts. What’s more they are not for some theoretical teaching, but they show the actual trades, meaning they are posted shortly after entering to trade so that you can see how Red’s concept of Price Action (PA) trading performs in real life.

I have put reference to identify charts to traders who posted them by putting their user name and page links/numbers on the charts. Non referenced charts are belongs to Red. If I miss anybody in this respect, I sincerely apologies.

All the credit goes to Red and his army of traders.

Red’s “Price is Everything” thread URL is:

I’ll try to update/improve this messy PDF file as and when I get time to do so...

I have uploaded "Price is Everything PDF" to free file sharing hosts as FF file upload size limitation rules.

Here is a starter simple tutorial about having M2 chart in MT4

1. Create a 1 minutes chart of EU etc and customize it to your liking, add any indicators etc you need then save it as a template. Do not close the 1 minutes chart you have just created.

2. Enable “Expert Advisers”

3. On MT4 Navigator expand “Scripts” folder, drag and drop “period converter” script to the chart (1 mins chart you just have created)

4. After drag n drop of “period converter” script you’ll get a pop-up window - see image 1 below.

On "Common" tab check the "Allow live trading" and the "allow DLL imports", uncheck the "Confirm DLL functions"

Then on “Input” tab change “ExtPeriodMultiplier” to 2 and click on “OK” button to accept the changes - see image 2 below.

5. Click on the “File” menu and select “Open Offline” command. A pop-up window will appears - see image 3 below.

Locate the the pair and time frame relating to your 2 minutes chart and double click or select and click to “Open” button to open your new 2 minutes chart.

6. Right click on the chart, choose “Templates” then find your saved template to apply. That’s all, now you have a 2 minutes chart.

note: remember to leave your original 1 minutes and newly created 2 minutes offline charts open, otherwise your new 2 minutes offline chart will not work.

Thanks a lot ant-
