...this cross is currently battling with the strong demand level printed back in March (see circle on chart), i'll give the short a go if offered.

C/J and N/J are still too rangy for me. I keep going back to that zoom out. I hope it works out for you.

Alto,

I have two live accounts. One is with MBT and the other FXDD. I'm currently trading PTT on FXDD. (what's with all these acronyms...)
You're right though...you're going to get different daily IB's with different brokers.

I like FXDD because their new day starts at 4 pm my time. Good time of day for me to review the upcoming IB's and make decisions. MBT day starts at midnight for me and that kind of throws things off a bit.

I'll trade just about any pair as long as it lines up with Kelvin's guidelines as per page 1 and post #51.

..stopped out for -30. Short order reset at same level. The chart hopefully shows why i'm shooting at this one, despite not being as smoothly trending as i'd like.

This is a good example of what Kelvin's trying to do with this system.

Here's a zoom out of the N/J. The range is pretty dramatic since 2009.
Now you may well get movement down on your short. Then again it may move up. That's really the point. There's no trend here to indicate where the market has been going. We're just guessing at that point. There's resistance you highlight at 55 but there's also shorter term resistance at 62 and 63.

Just my thoughts

Good points. Of course, the EMA(50) becomes more or less redundant if zooming out that far, but i take your point ...and as i said, i had recognised that this wasn't an 'ideal' trending setup, but the demand level from March strikes me as a 'gimme'. Just my opinion

Yeah I think you're right there. The ema is more for determining a good entry off the bounce once you've established the pair to trade based on the trend.

You may have a downward trend but PA goes above the ema short term...maybe it's a trend reversal...maybe not. Best to wait until price falls back below the ema then look for your IB entry.

Now THAT's a range! Very dramatic.

Another thing I wonder about is if IBs taken earlier in the week have more momentum potential than IBs toward the end of the week. Just something else I haven't researched lol.

Personally, unless it looks really good I wouldn't take an IB trade after wednesday. (by real good I mean a strong obvious trend and the IB is right at the 50 line) Because friday is volatile, rampant stop loss hunting and end of week profit taking from the big boys.

Also, my broker is closed from 3 pm friday until sunday evening. And there can be a gap. So, if the trade didn't move much after it entered I very well could just get gapped out.

I've also noticed that often the IB's are more plentiful on sunday evening as the markets dont move a whole lot over the weekend.

So, IMO most set ups are going to happen S,M, and T,W would be the lastest I'd look for an entry.
