I have made my first humble contribution to Ralph Shell's work! Hanging man here hoping looking for move back below 8 lwma. There is a major base at 0450.

A big London close bounce yesterday!
Forgot to mention that the hanging man (no follow through on 2 pos close candles) could be Asia just not wanting to push through session highs as is often the case. Until proved otherwise I'm looking at no follow through higher ie chances to sell, twt.

We have had a natural progression of two things being:

 

  1. we have reduced trades from at one stage around 10 a day to a couple per day, and
  2. Mrs V has wanted us to focus on trend

We are making the 2nd real adjustment in 3 years (first was bringing 15 min in). The 1hr can move around a little whilst 4hr still showing trend. So we have changed definition of trend from 1hr.

The current set up I have then is 4hr, 15 min 5 min. Trend is described as above/below 4hr 8 lwma and 8 rsi confirming above/below its 8 sma (fozzy cross, I...

4 hrs as lead indicator makes an awful lot tf sense to me..4..15 and 5.. luv it.

There will of course be those times like this morning on gu where there is a 100% perfect gu sell set up by 1hr SS. Oh well we want to get a comparison between performance on 1hr and 4hr so sticking to 4hr rules.

Vantage, my RSI knowledge is very limited having only used it for divergence in the past but I was just wondering if it is looking a bit oversold at the moment (on GU that is) and if that would be a concern for you?

Short term. It is oversold but have a look at last cross below 30 level 10 candles back, 6072, fell 130 odd pips. If we do get gu sell signal from here you'd take rsi level in mind also the simple fact that gu 4hr first signaled sell 200 pips higher, 6152. So if you take a trade after 4hr close in 30 mins the profit targets would be greatly different from a trade when first getting into the swing.

Medium/longer term from here twt. If we blast below Y's low, which are the lows from Feb-Mar this year, there are some big falls possible. That may also no doubt need price and rsi to wave up and down along the way.

Yes I see that now. I'll have a look back at previous RSI levels. Just need to get used to looking at it in this way.

Since last post GU 4 hr (still open candle obviously) now has large lower wick. If it closed like this but still below 8lwma and with rsi cross down, then still looking for shorts despite candle shape?

According to system yes. However we'd need to look at ma which has flattened out, a big lower wick hammer, put together suggests problems. So best answer would be prob look for better set ups elsewhere until clearer.

Eur for example is closing with a similar hammer and above its ma and rsi above.

If ma is say sharply angled down and we move up to touch it thats still sell area, but when ma flat and good reversal candle thats different.

Vantage, I didn't take but wondered if you would have thought this a little aggressive.

4 hr still below 8lwma (just) so still looking for shorts. 15 min doji after higher volume push up (with upper wick) which couldn't break higher. 5 min lh with divergence at early Asia highs. Possibly the level wasn't that obvious as a good turning point with day's open/MS1/Friday's low just below.

Turned into a nice 30 pip trade down to POC/psych level combo.

Thats fine 15 min evening star pattern back into trend and 5 min dble top. The 5925 low and also the lows back in May was too much resistance at the end of a big run down, 300 odd pips from 22 June.

I was romancing with the WE Pivot today. First trade closed for loss... but it was not really a system trade. Second looks like a system trade, closed on the WE Pivot for around +10 pips.

Nagative closes on 4H, 1H, 15M and 5M.

Vantage,

please see appended charts.

3 m15 red closes with little/no lower wicks.
LH with m5 solid close.

1. entry, following the hl_lh system, as shown.

2. if we draw a counter TL / bear flag, the entry would be below the low of the next bar OR if we follow the bpc routine, after 3-4 bars.

Question:
Should one wait for the TL break or is the LH entry independent and self-sufficient?

Thanks.
