More or less, pg. However, I'm slowing things down by using 15m charts, and I'm kicking the MA's into touch. Still concentrating on PA on the pivot lines, and watching out for any patterns that crop up. Not a lot different from the way I was trading before, but simplifying the charts a little.
K.I.S.S. rules!!
ok.
do post more trades as you take them in this manner.

Some good trades this morning from pg and Ian. Well done!

This one is an example of the way I'm experimenting with right now. The small blue oval shows a hammer type candle, with the lower shadow stopping right to the pip on the mid-point level. A rather positive move followed, which prompted a long entry with the target being R1. There was a similar move a little earlier, prompted by a doji, four candles back, but I missed that one.
hmm .. seems as though my pivot levels are off .. anyone else got the same levels as me ?

Dan, seeing as your and Delite's charts are in accord, I've swapped over to co-ordinate.

This is another beauty, that I unfortunately missed. Price dropped through the Main Pivot line. There was a one candle retracement that didn't quite test for resistance, followed by a shooting-star/harami candle. Price then dropped like a stone down to, and through, the mid-point level.

Delite, I go with the John J. Murphy rule of 3 touches. However that third touch may only cause a small reaction, like 10 pips up or down. If it occurs directly on the trend line then that's good enough for me. Also i'm talking about 3 touches on the 5 minute chart. That may be less on the 15 min chart.

I had a couple of stinkers this morning on E/U and G/U, the trend lines were perfectly valid but I got stopped out by a long way.

Yet another example (just coming to fruition) of a lovely potential reversal candlestick pattern (dark cloud cover), this one coming off a mid-point line.

Had I traded it, entry would have been below the low of the dark cloud cover candle, pg.
No, I didn't trade it, mate. Just posted it as an example of how easy it can be to spot potential high-probability trades, whilst observing PA when combined with candle patterns and pivot lines.

Cool!

It was also a trendline break on the M5 chart.

This one I DID get! I was watching for any signs of a positive move down after the slight retracement from the Main Pivot line (blue ellipse). A high-wave candle followed, then price dropped through the MPL.


Edit: It wasn't a "high-wave" candle. In fact, it was a "spinning-top". Sorry for the confusion.

High wave? Sorry to be dim, but could you explain what this is? Thanks!

I think its similar to a doji candle.

Better wait for EV to reply though

Sorry, Delite, my mistake. I should have described it as a "spinning-top" (a small candle with small upper and lower shadows), as opposed to a "high-wave" (a small candle with a lot larger upper and lower shadows).
