Hi Dan,

No probs mate.

Here is what I put on and I did it before I checked yours

Looks like your getting the hang of it, are you finding it better having less lines on your charts ?
Hi DW, Thanks for the chart. It helps to know that im getting the lines correct now. Im definitely finding it easier having less lines on the chart. I think im getting the hang of it now, just trying to take it one step at a time. BTW thanks for all the time and help you have been giving me over the last couple weeks/months, really appreciate it mate

Cheers
Dan

Short entry in play also on USDJPY not a pair that I trade too often and now I know why, it simply does not have a good ADR.

But its in play now so see how it goes.

Short @ 76.961

AUDUSD 4 hourly trade I took yesterday, BE entered today with price heading up towards the BE level, guess wait and see how it plays out.

Tried to push a few extra pips out of the target level rather than using the lows area. I guess that is what can happen at support areas
Hey DW, What was the PA that you entered on for this trade. Was it the doji candle that made you think short below the swing low ?

Ya pretty much.

Doji at previous lows and RN area but I played a bit safe because of the higher lower and put the entry below the lows of the last move.

Wait for the train at the station.

Get on and ride it to the next stop.

Be careful of trying to ride it to the end.

BE triggered. Pips given back to the market but I guess thats trading !

Now only UJ as an open position.

Back in about an hour to check the next 4 hourly candle start.

If you are trading the m5 (like me) might be worth sitting out between 13:30 and 14:15. Cluster of news is coming out of the US.

Hi Drag,

Yes indeed it is always good to be aware of the news and the adverse effects it can have on the markets.

When I first started out it taught me the hard way. Even medium impact news such as speeches (where news traders are listening out for specific words) can effect the market massively for a short time period - no thanks. It has been drilled in my head since my rookie days to avoid trading in every shape and form in situations like this.

Yep im hearing ya'

I had the same lesson taught to me by the market the hard way when I was a novice to forex.

It is one mistake you only need to make once. Although I have been caught off guard a few times over the years now by forgetting to check the releases for the session and getting stops hit, and on the flip side have had some nice trades by getting lucky with the news going in my favour.

I even spent some time trading the news releases by using the straddle method with quite a bit of success but I do not do that anymore.

Hi all,

I am new to Price action trading. I have attended some courses and was taught to trade using indicators. Initially, when the market was trending well, I made pips. Then, the indicators stopped working and I started to lose. Was taught new "method" using other indicators but some works some of the time and I got really frustrated with trading. Almost gave up until one day, I read about price action. So far, I have been trading price action for a couple of mths and am trying to learn.

I have read this thread with interest and hope to learn from you guys/gals.

Hope I can contribute to this thread.

Anyway, I have a newbie question, what is "RN"?

thanks in advance, Fuzzy

Hey DW, Just wondering how you personally use ADR in your trading ?

Hi Dan,

I will use this in 2 ways.

Firstly I like to look for pairs that have a good ADR as that would indicate that at least there is likely to be some good movement on most days.

Secondly I sometimes like to use the ADR as profit target areas when trading the daily time frames.

Can also be good to keep an eye on with the shorter time frames as often once a particular pair has reached its ADR it will stall and not go too much more for the day or it may begin to retrace slightly.
