Yes TD does mention he learnt a lot from J16. Worth reading the whole thread if you can, maybe just his posts and comments, there are some real gems in there. It is very similar to the early posts in this thread where Jim posted chart after chart, kind of drums the message home of what you're looking for
Thanks Dan! Yes I will go on with the thread for sure. Some things are familiar and some are very new to me.

I don't intend to hold any positions for "months"

I use the 8700 round number, and added 23 pips for buffer.

I may end up shutting it down before then with a S/L moved into profit.

Mike has posted some breakouts like this in the past, where he just targeted round numbers when you start to head into "no-mans land"...

I think based on momentum, I could get my target of 8700 reached within this week, if not, I may shut it down manually. I'll keep you posted.
Yep right on Dan.

This is exactly what I would have wanted to see as well. I would for sure have my stop above todays high at worst and see if we get some follow through.

Best
Mike

Hi guys, good day to you all.

Have been reading James16 Chart thread for quite sometime now. I am a newbie trader with only a few trade experiences on demo account. Luckily for me, those trades turned out really well. I am pretty sure it wasn't due to any skill of mine though, I probably was having some beginner's luck.

I started demo trading after I had read up a few books, and I have no intention to give my money to the market. Although it's inevitable (as many people and books have pointed out), I want to protect my capital as much as possible...

Welcome Syu

Glad to have you , and I think PA and learning S/R especially how James introduced it is only going to help your trading. Even if you use it to help compliment something you are already comfortable with.

Look forward to your posts

Best
Mike

In other words, weak buying? If price managed to take out that low and close near it... could we interpret it as that buyers are more enthusiastic atm?

Hey Shuan

It doesn't necessarily mean weak buying, but the thing is how strong is it to place an actual trade? See the difference there? I like that its closing over the BRN, but we can't ignore the other pieces. If price could have closed over that low, that would change the entire story for me from an actual trade perspective. Does it make that BUOB not tradeable? Definitely not, we just need to understand the other moving pieces and decide how we will react there.

This is purely based off of James16's method.

After struggling for a while, started to see some real good winner.

Thanks all.

comments are welcome.

From this point on, if the price withdraws, I will take the ~400 profit, if it goes up, I will look for PA to add more position.

Hi Mike,

I noticed that the GBP has not been bought the last four hours on the small down move.

Could there be a correction into the 6430 are possible?

Wow I get it, I've been reasoning similar to that but the difference is I haven't been aware of my reasoning until you just mentioned it (sounds damn stupid yea haha).

For instance yesterday we had a mediocre pinbar on the EURCHF pair, I was considering to "scalp" it to its FTA but I passed it beacuse I would be more confident in the potential scalp if price would bounce off the BRN 1.30000 (i.e. a larger bar + stronger confluence).

Thanks for the help of making me aware of something I weren't really aware of lol.

Regards
Shuan
