Hi Drag,

I have never traded on the M1 chart, but the strategies should be just as sound. Just need to remember that the lower the time frame the less the SL and TP targets will obviously be. Apply your risk management appropriately.

Cheers.
Thanks very much. I ended up testing a new continuation strategy and it did actually work. As you say SL and profit targets were smaller but targets were achieved quicker with plenty entry opportunities. We'll see what today brings.

Hi Dan,

Sorry have been away from the charts until now I drew my lines on earlier as attached. Looks like the GU lines were almost spot on.

Hi Dan,

No probs DW, I had my lines drawn pretty much the same as you except the bottom one. At least im getting at identifying key levels. Btw, do you always draw your 5min lines off the 1hr chart ? Or do you zoom out on the say 15 min chart and draw them off there. Also, what are the red lines on your chart ... im assuming the blue lines are you main s/r

For EU im thinking break and retest of .3400 + res level should indicate upward trend

I tend to use mainly the hourly chart and adjust them slightly on the 5 min chart if needed. Yes at times I will look at the 15 min chart if I feel that I cant get any good areas on both the hourly and 5 min.

The blue lines are the main areas. The red lines are the ones I move about on my chart for entry levels and stop loss placement.

1.3400 ish area is also resistance on the 4 hourly chart so is a good area to be keeping an eye on.

Moving average 20, 100, 200

Price below or price above all 3 moving averages provides a decent filter.

However price bouncing off of xx50 or xx00 levels provides a good reason to enter a trade...

Price reaching a previous S/R level in the Market provides a good reason to exit a trade..

Thanks for the reply. When you say 'a decent filter', a filter for what ?

  • Nov 24, 2011 7:22pm Nov 24, 2011 7:22pm
Ask yourself this... where would you rather be selling and where would you rather be buying?

Look at the chart and look at previous areas where sellers and buyers have entered....

Yes my friend, buy when price is above all three and they're pointing up and sell if below all three and they're pointing down...

Have you studied any indicators or price action before?

No such thing as a stupid question.. price is what determines what indicators tell you, watch how price reacts to areas on the chart, there's no one indicator that's going to tell you when to enter or exit a position, they can assist you in giving you a picture as to what has happened, but never tell you what will happen.

Just remember you don't need to know what will happen to make $$$

You only need to know when to exit and stick to it.

As soon as you decide that you are wrong, you probably are, and the first available exit is typically the cheapest... in other words don't let a position trend against you...

I've just seen a good reason to enter a position based on what price is doing... do I know what it will do... of course not... will i exit at a predetermined level... indeed i will..
