OK, to continue, for khalidhassan, sorry, I have very slow connection, lost it for some time actually....

Second step, after we have direction bias, is to look for the Moving Average Crossover, mainly, there are other signs, please refer to chart, I put a lot of work into this just for you

I know, that last chart a bit of a mess, but this chart will make it clear it follows on in time from the last chart

there is no magic to the entry, just practice and recognize the price patterns, rhythm of the market someone called it

OK, so now you're thinking, well, he just picked the easy example, sure I did, but that is what you have to do, of course you could enter anywhere in that chart and make money, so did you?

What you really need to know is where are you getting out = EXIT

The Average Daily Range for this pair for last 180 days is 92, last 5 days only 66.

Did I get 66 pips? = NO

Did I get greedy? = NO

Did I let a winner turn into a loser? = NO

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Did I have a Profit Target? = YES

Did I control the risk? = YES

Did I follow my plan? = YES

I would have taken the trade as well - previous support level turning into resistance right in the war zone.

Ｈｅ said it all. The retracement in the war zone often bounces back because of the support/resistance level. This combination is like the best setup. If you try and guess an entry point at "somewhere-around-here" in the war zone, you can still lose with this system.

And Golfer, would you enter when you do not see an S/R line and a candle gets in the sweet spot, say at the first retracement?
A successful trading depends on knowing what to analyze.

Hi Pipdealer

Your question:

"And Golfer, would you enter when you do not see an S/R line and a candle gets in the sweet spot, say at the first retracement?"

My answer:

According to the original rule - yes, one should enter once:

1. There is a pullback into the war zone
2. 50SMA in down or up with a 20degree angle.

I struggled with it and that is why I added price action to my tradings style.

Currently with my style of trading - no, I would like to see other signals:

1. Bounce off the previous support/resistance levels
2. Near the war zone
3. Nice candle formation to confirm the new support/resistance found.

Nowadays I don't just enter once I see what looks like a first pullback. This is where I got burned too many times in the past and I almost gave up on this system. Then I realise this is a 5min system & chart with lost of whipsaw with lost of losers (negative trades). The whipsaw will continue until a small intra-day trend is established - only then will this system work well (still you'll have negative treades). I've worked on this small intra-day trend and how to identify it. Nowadays I feel more comfortable with it.

With this approach, there are fewer trades - even no trades whatsoever in a day. Can be very frustrating but patience is the name of the game.

I hope it make sense.

Hi Golfer,
I dont use this system, i mean i dont use MAs. But I trade naked 5 min chart with hand-drawing trendlines. Totally agree with u on the pull back issue! It also costed me lots of time to figure it out. Now, I'd like to say: S&R+trendline= best entry (U know, when they r crossing. Yup, these's loss sometime, but not often)

Happy pips~
