Interesting question. In my opinion, it depends on the instruments you're trading.

For instance, I've been trading only crude for almost two months, and I watch the higher time frames to feel the large context and go down to M1 and M5 only to enter a trade (people could argue with me for ages but that's me).

Otherwise, if you're a swing trader, watch h1 and h4 levels. If you're looking for intraday scalps (20-30 pips a trade), go down to m15-m5. It should do the trick.

But whatever people tell you, it is ONLY a matter of screen time. So remove the most indicators you can, and observe PA on a timeframe that suits you best, for you, m15 as it seems.

Enjoy your trades.

Thanks, one more question: my favorite TF is M15. Should I consider M15 levels or is it better to take only higher TF levels such as H1?

They are essential enguilfing whipsaw patterns at key levels and and work well in my trading plan. I also reduce all noise from my charts as its just a distaction to me.

Hi Emene. May I ask why do you trade only crude

  • Jun 21, 2011 11:32am Jun 21, 2011 11:32am
Because its ATR is more than 300 pips at the moment, that you can take it slow and buy or sell every engulfings like a dumb monkey during european session, that it respects its zones to the pip, and that if you have only 1 hour to trade during the day, you can make more than 100 pips with a 4 pip spread. And also, specifically because I am trying to master it, so i do not need to be taken out of focus by the stupid EU pair that is used by the big boys to steal money from noobs. I could discuss forever about crude as it became my best friend outside some of the traders of this thread. You should try it, it's fun !

Hi Verb, let me ask a question. Why didn't you mark the two levels in the red circles?

And what do you use to draw the levels in MT4? Looks cool...

THank you very much

Hi Les, those levels have been used too many times at this point.

 

  1. Basically sellers have been absorbed at this point thus clearing the way for buyers.
  2. What we need is a zone where fresh sellers would be willing to sell in the context of a daily downtrend and away from weekly demand.
  3. The move away from this level around 1.21651 shows that sellers are there and I'm anticipating that enough sellers will be there to meet the demand.
  4. In turn driving price down to my target which in actuality are the levels you've marked in red circles at 1.21350.
  5. My target is generally based on 2/3 the distance on the entry time-frame between the supply zone and nearest demand zone with a minimum of 3:1 reward/risk ratio.

I will email you the indicator that I use to mark levels, it is free and I am not the author. Although it will mark the levels, you still need to go through the logic process to qualify a trade but it does make things a bit easier.

I noticed many of you here trade crude oil.

The only way I though you could trade this legally in the US is through either the stock exchange or the futures market. However both are not good alternatives for beginning traders.

Hi Verb, thanks a lot! So you take positions only in the direction of daily trend?
And can I ask what you mean by the words "away from weekly demand"? The PA is on the lowest level, what weekly demand do you mean?

BTW, the indi you sent me is pretty good, thanks! http://www.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Switch to the weekly chart.

 

  1. Mark off your levels where demand and supply are.
  2. If you are going long on your chosen Entry Timeframe into a weekly supply zone then that is a no trade.
  3. If you are going short on your chosen Entry Timeframe into a weekly demand zone then that is a no trade.
  4. Weekly > Daily > Entry Timeframe

Briefly:

 

  1. Switch to Weekly and Mark off Supply/Demand Zones
  2. Switch to Daily, what is the slope of the 50 SMA, determines whether you will be a buyer or seller. You can use whatever indicator you feel gives you a good feel for current trend. Don't over complicate this one.
  3. Switch to your entry time-frame of choice, I use M30 and H1 normally.
  4. If you are going long on your chosen Entry Time-frame into a weekly supply zone then that is a no trade.
  5. If you are going short on your chosen Entry Time-frame into a weekly demand zone then that is a no trade.
  6. If you are clear and nothing is in the way then enter a limit order on your chosen Entry Time-frame for the zone.
  7. Make sure you have at least 3:1 reward:risk ratio available.
  8. Target 2/3 of the move between the next supply or demand level from you entry.

So that I don't keep getting asked again. Watch the Sam Seiden videos and read his stuff, this is just a boiled down way to execute it. Lots of others here I see who have great knowledge as well.
