This looks like a very sexy setup on Copper if you've got the minerals to short metals: Bearish outside bar/ "PPZ"/ Round Number (4.500)/RSI divergence.
Unfortunately I don't have a live account which offers it.

took a half bar earlier on the use/sek breakout

But here was just a classic simple as it gets j16 play. Big pin at a nice swing low and BRN

Question:

Is there a best time to check the daily charts? For example, I believe MB Trading posts its new day at midnight Eastern time.

Should I be checking the charts at 12:01 a.m. to take my position?

Or does that not matter?

Thank you,
Mark

Hey Mark

This is really up to you. Just cause your broker closes their daily charts at a certain time doesn't mean you are restricted to that time. Most of my brokers close at the time you stated above, but I use a different closing time. I use a 5pm est closing time. Since price is still price all I do is transfer my orders to the brokers I trade with irregardless of when they physically close. All that is , is an aggregation of past price.

Hope that makes sense
Mike

Get yourself onto Parallels. It's the shizzle

Edit: Oh, and a rather personal look on how I view my charts.
Dear 5.25,
Thanks for the chart - am I right in assuming that "get myself into parallels" means viewing charts in parallel ie at the same time and as your template shows?. Just so I am clear (good idea btw)

Also are the annotations on the individual charts (FTB PBT&CB) yours by hand or an indicator?
Thanks
Nigel

Hi Mike,

Congratulations for the trade. I have a question : at what price did you enter (blue arrow?)? I saw the big pinbar with a strong close, I saw the good location but the first FTA seemed very/too much close...

Thank you in advance for your answer.

Hey Driss

Yep I always enter on a break of the bar, so just above the high of the pinbar. Very big bar so I was willing to see how it breaks and then use that FTA to help me manage the trade.

Thank you for your answer Mike. If I understand well, you took the trade due to the shape and the location but you were ready to have some troubles at the FTA (and maybe close the position if it didn't go in your direction?)

hey Driss

Sort of yes. To give you an idea I reduced my risk 1/2 way right when price broke. I like to use these areas to help manage my risk in that manner.


Hope that helps

Reply to ur 2nd Chart AUDCAD:
since u ask,so i answer heeheehee

my answer..
none of them..

1st BUOB:
Trading into CHOPPY areas despite confluence(1.02BRN)...Mike always make people aware of setup trading right into consolidation.

2nd BUOB:
at swing high..facing 1.05BRN..n HCR @ 1.0510..it was trading right into 'previous' huge swing...

so my answer is NO to both.

others may have different perspective.

hey AV

You are not wrong to say pass, I would have passed too. But not b/c it isn't tradeable, but it just doesn't fit into all my criteria. That does not mean this is not a perfectly good trade(the part that trips people up). I would not tell someone who took this it was a bad or good trade. It's about HOW you handle the trade. Most only get to step 1. They see a bar that fits a bar name and they say I will buy or sell. Not how to integrate those pieces from start to finish(that is the most important part).

What is more important is understanding what you would do with it and all the different moving pieces. I added a bit more info to the chart so people could see what I mean.

Best
Mike

Anyone take or watch this Monthly PB on the Usd/Cad?

I understand that its not at a swing High, probably why it went into a bit of a draw down once it broke. . Still, its fun to see these PBs hit there target(s) before they hit there S/L level no matter what the TF . .(S/L would have been above this Bearish PB . .above the nose. Target would be the previous bar Highs and Lows . .Lows in this case)
