Do you check on each timeframe for signals? I'm trying to work with the 4H, but I see many people checking 15m charts, 30 min charts etc...

Porfirio, could you share your indicators of timeframe trend on top of your charts? This could be very useful Thanks!

Hey Malouin.

I think the relevant tf from the bigger tp should be 4h and daily, especially they show you the overall trend.

the lower tf (15min, 30min & 1h) help you to find an optimal entry - either in the direction in the trend (optimal solution) or to play a short counter move.

Summarizing, at least how I handle it:

- higher tf for the bigger moves and overall trends
- lower tf to find an optimal trend (or to play a short countermove)

This could of course differ from type to type, but I think this is at least a good setup to start with.

Cheers

Thanks Pat!

Summarizing, if I understood what you said :

- Higher TF to check the overall trend of the Pair
- Lower TF to pick an optimal trend to play and to follow the Higher TF Trend.

That would mean if Stoch cross below 20 with an uptrend on 30M, SMA100 Long and H4, Daily and Monthly are Long, I should take that signal?

Thanks for your help! I'm trying to get the overall strategy of this!

Pat is right, the signal works on any timeframe. The important thing is to always trade with the trend.

Mr L, they all look like good trades but don't forget the trend is slowing. Also all of those pairs are USD pairs which tend to move together. If you take all 4 trades you are exposed to USD risk 4 times. Maybe just take the best looking ones? Maybe 2 of them. Put it this way, if they all work out you'll be happy but if all 4 lose it's -200 pips.

Heres the same above chart broken down onto smaller Tf's.
does anyone look into this to determine when its best to get in?
My question thought is that if the 4H chart looks good for entry, usually the 1H Chart is "overbought" looking to correct, Stochs are high rolling over etc.
But looking at M15 and waiting for them to start to turn upwards might be better?
I don't know, just throwing it out there...

Hey Sjr

I think that's the greatest challenge with this system, but imho I like to wait for a perfect setup to increase the probabilty. 4h looks fine, would go for it too.

Nevertheless the shorter tf could give a hint that it could come down a bit and then this would be my entry. But I think it depends on your trading style, because an entry and exit always have a discretionary component.

But this morning I will not play GBPxxx, at least for the longer tf, because of the outstanding news that could change the direction in seconds massively

Cheers
