Could you possibly expand on that one , Sisse?
Sure Chazzle.

As you know, everything is about perspective and timing in trading. In the case of the euro, H4 charts are not magical or anything different but they have a very unique "property".

They can be aligned with sessions open and close and even more interesting they align with most of reports (not with news out of the blue obviously) meaning they are "aligned" when most of the real moves happen.

Despite of what direction are you trading, if you manage to align your trigger around this H4 times you could improve a lot your timing in terms of drawdowns and minimize your losses if you are wrong in direction and also in term of the potential good moves in a straight line if you are correct in your direction.

In simple words, let say for example that you wanted to long the euro a few minutes ago (as PTL mentioned). If you just fade the lows or close for example of the H4 bar that just closed (I guess you know how to fade or take a break in a level) or wait for your trigger (whatever it is) only after that rejection I can guarantee that you will have a dramatic impact in your timing.

In conclusion, this is about timing and IT WONT change anything if you don't know what you doing or if you are WRONG in your direction analysis. Also important to keep in mind is the TF so it will work only for the real intraday moves from M30 to H4 moves, below it will be useless as most of TA.

I hope it helps.

ok, no more games, long from 3237ish, stops at 24ish, 3257 is giving it trouble, bears protecting a HH this hour, if we head south again, and close below 41, could be another leg down, no need to be a hero late friday...

GL bro. We are in a different "time zone" again ....That tick below 1,323x opened trendy day in my books to sub 1.320x. If ES holds at the current levels for the opening range, there is a nice double play to the short side on the making. Not and easy trigger on the euro (still time) but a very clear one on the ES.... We;ll see

it called 1-retracement finder 1 ... put both on a M1 chart and when they agree that is the trend changing. It's handy when you get trending like now but I have gotten away from the M1 chart so don't really use it that much now. Actually I just like the way it looks with my red and blue forexfreedom balls

don't think so bro. All bulls are cleaned in all TF even weekly so it will take something else to convince to fresh buy on Friday. US coming in a couple of minutes and trendy day for at least +100 more ticks down looks a done deal...
