Took this one about an hour ago....as you can see the price is moving from the bottom left to the top right on the chart so SCREAMS UPTREND even though the higher TF HA did not confirm it yet....then if you look at the last set of ZZ dots you see the LL yellow dot followed by a LH,HH then the HL which in my eyes told me to PULL the trigger...its already reached a 1:1 plus a little bit Risk:Reward.

Hi Dredd and thanks for your post

Seemed one step behind today, but its been a good 3 weeks as im well up on my account and very pleased indeed.

I dont usually trade that much, three today but +1.28% up.

1 loss
1 BE
1 Winner

I seemed to be missing buses today and getting off too early but it felt like a challenging day TBH.

Gonna sit in the sun now.

Control your emotions....call it a day and just start fresh tomorrow. Your still in profit for the day so dont let your emotions and greed let you make bad trades by trying to make the profit you could have made.

Took this short entry on 1 hour chart, trading live. I will let the TP run till HA changes color, or opposite signal. Any comments?

Trend is up....You had a LL but then it made a HH....i would wait for a break to the downside and a retrace up before a start selling.

Hi Dredding. Very interesting thread. I would like to get the zig zag indicator you posted in Post 3424. I have been through the thread indicators and didn't find it. It is not nearly as cluttered as the zig zag or 3 Z indicators that I am now using to follow your great thread so I would greatly appreciate it if you would post it or PM it to me. Thanks!

P.S. I have run the attachments but am only about a quarter way through the thread. For your info the link to your old thread in Post 1 doesn't work

Before the TP is hit, what other signals should we use to close the trade earlier? I am assuming change in HA color?

Im looking into it. Hopefully i can get some better trades. Any tips or suggestions?

Patience. Wait for the right setup.

The choice of screen time during the day be it 5 hours or 20 mins is a matter of personal preference.

Yesterday I took only two trades. GBPCHF already hit the TP of 1.3500 but EURCHF is still running.

Sometimes, day doesn't have enough hours....
Last night, 2 trades:

USD/CHF
went with the trend on H1 chart only and for 1:1 R/R and got it.

NZD/USD
Again, went with the trend on H1 only and for 2:1 R/R, but trade was getting weaker, so I took it out on 13:00 candle(EST).
Still 1:1 R/R, better, than I had last weekend in Las Vegas!

You do not use the HA candles for exits.....if you did then most times you would not make much profit if any at all unless it was a HUGE MOVE.....USE PIVOTS for TP areas. Either use the daily range,ATR or other S&R levels that are close to pivots to MAX PROFITS.

Do you have atleast a 1:1 Risk:Reward? Is there signs of S&R from past days or the higher TFs?.....To use a system and make profits it does take time watching the charts to see how price acts around these levels. Once you see a setup happen hundreds if not thousands of times over and over again it becomes second nature. That is when trading becomes easy.

TP is the pivot point, which brings my R:R to 1:1.6
