this is how i try to read trading charts:

"I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, t he olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rgh it pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt! if you can raed tihs psas it on !!"

ps/. IF, let me say it again, you are doing great job as intended on this thread.. getting traders to discuss trading charts and we all are learning from each other.. rather than listening lectures, reading books etc this is the best form of learning imho.. getting down to it and getting your hands dirty..

remember there are no absolute rights or wrongs in this business.. for instance take 40 pips H4 bear bar.. it's still possible to make more than 40 pips from same bar by trading both ways in lower time frames depending on your trading style.

I think we may have hit on something here.

This does exercise the trading muscles, without adding real-time stress to the analysis.

Maybe we should try and fit in some multi TF analysis too, although being able to see the HTF developing through the LTF is an important skill too

Yup, when you're having lots of fun taking easy 10 and 20 pip trades every few minutes, you tend to lose interest in watching for swings.

A nice balance of the two would be okay though

It especially doesn't matter with a guy like me who has dyslexia. I was 3/4 of the way through it before I realized the letters were all messed up.

Anything to add to this Dax Monthly?

In H4, these levels each have strong moves away from them, but the top 2 look best to me, as the bottom one has been spiked

Must be using the "set and forget" method while trading these zones.

Hi Lili.

The tradeable level I pointed out was worth a limit order, but I still feel best waiting for a rejection, as confirmation of the setup

Engulfing bars are great. They show you when a collective change of mind on the value of an instrument has occurred. They show you a decision.

The break of a flag though is also great pa. It shows you a decision has been made on value after a period of indecision. The faster price moves away from the flag, the more definite the decision
Thank you, it is much clearer now

Were they just basic S/D zones? I am not sure if they are touch trade or using any candle formation.
