They are pure PA moves. Move to a lower TF and watch PA to confirm direction by 2-3 M15 candles, depending on how strong you believe the momentum to be.

I like to play them "candle by candle"..that is, the H1 chart, with the H1 and/or H4 RSIs confirming my direction and getting out at a legit candle change.

You took 3 off the weekly and 1 off the monthly? Quite impressive. As soon as I get these smaller time frames down I will have to look into that.

Great job LG. With the larger tf, you would set a larger SL, correct?

You are right to get comfortable with the lower TFs, then move to the higher ones for more profit potential. These trades are like watching paint dry, but then, trading is lonely and the routine can be boring much of the time, so that is the trade off for the higher profit potential.

I came to this method from M1 and M5 charts and the H1 and H4 are like watching paint dry to me. But the results are much better and I can just imagine how much the long TFs will improve the bottom line.

Yes, much much higher. I would suggest you try demoing without a SL and see if that is something you could become comfortable with. That way you can do the research to determine the "average" range on particular pairs weekly/monthly candles, without being stopped out. Or you could backtest that. I like to forward test though.

Just goes to show that one traders' fast action is another traders' drying paint. It's all relative!

Ok Zaq, I am going to try. Is it the single RSI display that you want in the RSI window and not the entire list?

It's just better probability because of the larger sample size to pull information from.

Hi LG,

The full list I think would be best I believe, but even if we get the Single one first that would be great. I'm also googling!

That is very true. But I'm not complaining. My stress level has gone down about 80% in just the last couple of days. My hat's off to you LG.

For everyone trying to improve their trading this method is the way to go. Forget all those squigly lines and the latest 'in' way of trading. Stick with what has been proven over and over thru the years.

Take the time to read as much of this thread as you can. Then get a feel of how PA moves. Don't rush it, the markets will always be here.
