Ok, so you wake up to start your day and you see this! What do you do? Go back to bed? Look for pullback/countertrend trades?
i'd definitely like to hear input from some more experienced traders on this, i myself don't think i'm going to trade for a few hours to see how things unfold

i've always gotten my ass bitten trying to go for retrace or pullback

one idea would be to trade conservatively at 1:1 risk:reward although this may require drawing more pivot lines (which i'm not sure how to do) to see which semaphors are valid entry points

the new freebie indicator is painting arrows still going by the HA and stoich action, i've taken a few demo trades off these signals out of curiousity

Ericjschored,
If you don't mind me answering this question, I would say that the daily range has already been hit and that it is beter to look at another pair if you want to trade today.

Have a nice day,
Mel

Trend: Swinging up, higher high lower low for ZZ
-fail on pivot R1
-bar closed green HA
-Stoch crossed
-within 3 bars of bottom semafor

Am I following the rules correctly here?

Can you move your chart over to the center so that way I can see what you're looking at? There's too much text covering the chart on the right side...really can't see anything. Also, did you take a long or short on the trade? I'm assuming you went long?

Mustangsz is right.

but you are also trading against the Moving averages you have on your chart. use them or lose them

Another 27 pips to the pile. I didn't want to hold this for very long, I felt like I was shorting at a bottom. I could be wrong, but I trade off my experience and I trust my judgement. Find yourself, find the trader you are, and you'll be successful.

I took a long trade, from the blue arrow and hit stop loss at the yellow arrow. I have attached another picture that may be more clear and also deleted the EMAs as I am not using it anyways.

Udine, I added MTF HAs to my charts now. However, as Dredding mentioned, everyone can use their own trend indicator, I use the ZZ: higher high, higher low defining a up trend after the long downtrend previously, I was confidence when I made the trade and it seemed like a good time for a swing trade. I was wrong but would like to see where I made a mistake.

Where do you see HH or LH on this chart? The long term trend is DOWN. You took a counter trend trade and you got beat out. You need to PHYSICALLY look at higher time frames for trend. Remember, you are NOT trading the 15 minute chart, you are trading the 4-hour chart while using the 15-minute for entry.

4HA was RED, 4H Stochastic was DOWN, ZZ Semafor Trend tops/bottoms...DOWN......

Udine: continuing on our discussion on the chat, I have attached the following 2 pictures.
The first one is to indicate how I define the trend, higher high and higher low on ZZ.
The 2nd one I took the trade again... following all Dredding's 4 rules: pivot failed on M3, green HA, trend up, crossed stoch and a low semafor (within 3 bars).

I'm out for the day with +97 pips. Thanks to whom ever it was a few weeks ago that posted their trades on the EUR/CAD pair. I never thought to trade that currency pair and I've been trading it for 2 weeks with much success. Large swing highs and lows, nice volume, very easy to trade with this system.

EUR/CAD +27
EUR/AUD +70

Did anyone take my advice on the USD/JPY?
