No, I typically look for the nearest s/r line.
Ok. Your first e/j entry seems to have been pretty close on fib 38.2, SL was pretty close of fib 28.6 and exit near fib 0.50 from the fibs on last upwawe on 1 h chart. Ive been wondering about these lately.....

Nice trades anyway you look at them

Fibs from last trend wawe seem to predict pretty accurately those zorros. Zorry if Im being too technical, but could it be possible to enter early just about on the fib (and watching PA)?
Of course you can enter any way you want to. Everyone must develop their own style of trading.

The reason I don't much like fibs is that they can be manipulated too easily and I found myself doing just that.

S/R lines, while people may see them differently are still not subject to manipulation, just interpretation.

Not bad for a Friday eh?..by the way, these are not triple digit gains, but double digit gains for each pair traded.
Excellent way to end the week...

Just finished reading the entire thead.

I did this because I was tired of spinning my wheels and making no progress. Like a lot of people I have tried many different things but none of them have really worked. It was a statement my wife said about a month ago which changed my out look. She looked at my charts and said "Look at all those pretty wavy lines and colors." At that moment I knew I was going the wrong way.

I had started to read this thread a few times but never got past the first few pages. This time, with a new outlook and determination, I started reading and studying the posted setups. What an eye opener. This method is presented in a clear and concise manner.

Thank you for doing this LG. I truly believe that with my new focus and the information you and all the others have presented here I can finally break through to the next level.

Bless you all,

Mark

Thank you, Mark. I believe you have made a good decision to remove the "wavy lines and colors". I had to do the same thing. So glad that you have joined us and I look forward to your imput.

It's bank holiday monday for JPY, EUR, GBP and CHF. That would explain low volatility and no gaps.

If you have oanda platform you can see these gaps forming before the actual market opens.

Oh well. Time to go eat some tacos then wait for some potential H1 4C BOs.

This pair has been on a watch list for two weeks. On Friday it started to move out of that channel...watching to see if PA continues down.

I just reminded myself that the setup we use on the H1 and H4 charts can also be used on the higher TFs. Take a look at this pair on the daily chart for April. A BO, then a ZC pullback and continuation. Hundreds of pips.

Thursday or Friday of this coming week, we can test this forward by marking the first four days of the trading month, as we do the H1 4C BO charts.

LG, what do you use for confirmation on the 3 Tap daily? Is it still the 3 RSI in the same direction as the 4H?

I looked for the RSI line itself to be in the same direction, not necessarily the arrows (the old fashioned way).
