Went quite early short after PA move and TDI signal.
SL above swing high survived and 6 hours later I banked half with +30 and half with BE+4.

Got also +24 from GBP/JPY. It was a nice move down, though I didnt catch it at the start, but entered after pullback move.

Some other pairs moved nicely today.
To bad I was busy staring at EUR/USD

Quoting hale-mary
took two trades.

First one due to the pullback candle and TDI cross down. Forgot about the tight asian range. Waited a few hours got out a BE. Lucky

Second trade took it when it broke the range at 1.3235 (marked by white line)
waited a bit after the pullback candle to see if price would continue down. Got out at -30 pips.

I know first trade was an error in judgement. Not sure of the second trade.
From my backtesting it appers to me, that when we have the green and red line above the yellow and are expecting a move down, like today, it is better to wait till green penetrates red and yellow.

If we are trading under the yellow and looking to short, then of course the green crossing red is OK.

Just something I've noticed.

Yes, the 2nd trade also didnt go far, but you could, for example, have taken half with +25 and the rest at SL at BE.

Took 2 trades today.
I noticed the bullish pattern shooting star-hammer-shooting star on 6-8GMT and took it as a short signal. So I waited for TDI cross and entered short at 10:00GMT.
At 13 I noticed PA had returned to the upper side of the Asian range, so I took a quick short scalp for 20 pips which hit TP at 14:00.
As PA still lingered I closed half of my first trade for +22 pips and moved other half stop at BE.
I let the other half go and gave it a chance, hoping it would hit at least the 38.2 Fib level, which was missed for 5 pips before backfiring at me and hitting SL at BE.
Any comment would be MUCH APPRECIATED!
For first time in my life I almost felt I had control over what I had to do.
Maybe I would never achieved this hadn't I found this thread and its people. Thank you so much!

Scalped 75 pips (was quite predictable as long as it was within the range 1.3244 <--> 1.3289) but today was not a good day, these small ranging movements are barely tradeable with this method in TF > 15 MIN. Hopefully there will be more momentum the next days...

Hi S3 traders,
Yesterday was one of those days testing our patience and endurance looking for good S3 H1 trade setups.
Well, so long as we have our trade plan done, no trades also mean no regrets under such market conditions. We did our pre-trade preparatory work in having our trade plan done.
Few traders may ask:
Q: How could we have known that the market would be like that yesterday?
A: Yes we do know, but we will only know the live market behaviour only in the future.

Anway, I tested scalping this S3 method using M15 and M5 TFs, did find a few setups but the range was rather narrow. No fun scalping anyway.

Attached my post mortem of 8 Feb.

Hi,

My Big Picture update for this week 06.
Still looking for a base to place my long swing position. See attached chart.

Today is reaction to the BoE and ECB news. Market is compressed for one day. A bigger move than yesterday, for sure.
You can expect price to hit the dailiy pivot S&R level 3 on either direction. Why?

Good Trading!

Hi Quezoy,

agree with you.
It is a matter to put weightage on ceratin setup conditions like what you described...knowing the market condition.

There are more factors to look at at all times :
Price Action> Market Condition> Volatility and Range> Trend> Momentum>

Good Trading mate!

Hi,

Just made an early trade entry on seeing a good PA ...DIB breakout with S3 support, i.e. TDI crosses plus TDI coming off the narrow band. Let's see if volatility increases the the narrow band will widen. This woild be good potential for swing entry provided the day price swing wont be too big for the trade management to handle.

Risk is this trade is done during Tokyo sushi time when volume is low.
Other risk is shown on the attached chart.

PA Study: Newbies to observe Price behaviour within Bollinger Band (20,2,0). You can do visual backtest on a clean chart. Note down what you see.

Hi,
My trade is now BE protected before LO.
Taken +48pips on on position, Remaining position protect at BE.

Now looking at Frankfurt open, rather quiet. Volatility may lower as market will wait for ECB rate annoucement later.
LO traders beware too as BoE rate announcment today.

There will be stop hunting with long term buyer stops park below Asian low. There should enough room down for intraday sell traders should this happen.

I will look for continuation setup after rate annoucements because I am H4 bullish bias.

Nice trade Shaikjun, well taken using APB and TDI
Congrats!
Well which S3 H1 method rules did you not follow? The only rule broken is the ccy pair and time of trade???? Anyway, rules are meant to be broken.

Your trade show that S3 H1 is good so long we see PA>Trend>Momentum, right?

Now you can go for "Advance S3" ...keep working on your screen time. 5000 hours is minimum to become proficient.

Good Trading!

Hi,
Looking at GBPUSD H4, this looks like a valid 3-wave correction setup for good Long. May need today BoE to say something to make this come true.

BTW, shaikjun trade looks very well support by the 61.8% fib-r... near perfect setup. Got lots of potential, so it is trade management that will help you maximise profit.

See chart.

Today should be an interesting day in the PA. The first star in this ballet will be the GBP. So we admire its growth. Theoretically, should grow up. It all depends on how they report back

is going to pop today

Though we had a break of yesterdays resistance, I doubt we'll see an upward move. First we need to retrace a good bit. But in this case, if we break down, it will go quite far IMO.

Hi shaikjun,

just kidding about breaking rules, don't take me that serious.

I am currently in Singapore too. How many Singapore based S3 traders out there?

Shall we form a "S4" Group= Singapore Super Simple System Group...very apt for SG.

Please PM me if anyone interested.

Cheers!
