Can you tell me where I can get the above. Is there a site where I can download them and add to myMetaTrade platform?
HA candles (which means Average Price candles) are on your metatrader platform. Go to Navagator--> Custom Indicators.

Looks like Gold is triggering nice moves in the USD crosses.
See USDJPY and AUDUSD.

Hello LG,

I have been using HA bars for some years and find them to be very useful. Two ways to use them for exits are:

1) Conservative, wait for a tail to appear from the opposite end of the candle to the direction of price movement. I.E. if price is going up close either all or part of your position when a tail shows from the bottom of the candle.

2) Aggressive, wait until a candle closes in a different colour and then close your position.

You must first decide which time frame you are TRADING though, no point in using this exit strategy...
Merlyn, thanks for the tips
Already using it as I write this post.

If it is okay with you, I prefer BO on the downside, I am long AUDUSD.
I have also attached charts using the two different types of average bars for comparison.

Are you referring to the pinbar on daily for EU and GU?

USDCHF looks more like BEOB.
All I see is there is a reversal move, and with a breakout on that direction, I made that trade.

Not a great morning

Closed the wrong trade ouch and took another that wasn't a good enough set-up.
Eltax, would it be possible to share with us which trade goes wrong for you? and that set up you thought wasnt good enough.

Thanks for mentioning Heikin Ashi candlestick. New things to learn.

Will give it a try and do some research on its usage.

I use BO or 3T, with some being a combination. At the same time I do look at the daily and weekly chart. I honestly have not did any MT or compounding entries during my entire trading experience.

It also depends on the traders themselves. I go for it just because of the BO, PA and the trend line itself even though it doesn't tap 3 times. 3T is a good thing though, it confirms the set up.

I did mentioned at the post below though bout being cautious. Because I see there should be a short term reversal, or maybe a total trend reversal.
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...54#post4774254

So before I went out, all the trades that I confirmed the set up, I made the trades. And Its only now I am back at home with my charts. So I closed all now.

I don't use SL by the way. I take my loss as a loss at the end of the day. There are always more trades to be done next

Though how I wish I did Gold... There wasn't enough time for me to wait for the chart to tell me a buy just now... Oh well... Another day will come.

Yeah. Made a mistake in USDCHF, EURCHF, and USDJPY. I don't have time to monitor them today. I went through the charts again to see what I did wrong. Good to hear you're still making pips each pips count!

USD/CHF and USD/JPY
The trend is going down in 1hr and 4hr chart. But I made the mistake of going long. If the bigger trend is going down, and I see the PA is going down again below support after breaching the resistance, I will close and open a short. But I wasnt there to monitor them as usual.

EUR/CHF
A retracement upwards though didn't even go above previous day resistance. And nothing much there. So I will still be losing this trade at the end of the day to be honest.

Hi, Daniel

Great results by the way,

The trades that went wrong for me today

1 trade just turned out bad it happens
2 moved my stop too tight and got stopped out
3 closed a trade by mistake when taking some profit
4 guilty of chasing the market and got punished



Down 20pts or 1% so no big shakes

Sometimes its best to halt trading for the day and review
always lots more opportunities around the corner.

Some similarities here :
ad 1) Same here, I am still short cable, that's not good right now.
ad 2) Happened to me with long EURUSD early this morning.
ad 3) Cannot trade right now because the broker disconnects......
ad 4) Cannot chase the broker.....

It was a good trading day for me, still short USDJPY, short USDCHF, long AUDUSD.
Hopefully the broker comes back alive again, this does not feel good.

H4 3 Tap
On that chart 3T the current candle has now pierced the TL and the H4 RSI is up so do you write that off as a 3T and go to H1 and look for 4C BO??
Also had the H4 RSI been down would that have completed a 3T setup?
