No problems Charlie. your right in what you say. Example, i just took 30pips on AU, not ground breaking, but the ADR is around 90, so i just got 33.3% of the daily move.

i just got into the NU, i have SL at the bottom of THIS candle, so my SL is only 6pips...if i bailed now that RR 1:1

*****there's a lot to be said for RR1:1 lol....stopped out

one more go with EJ coming up.
when you cut your SL short you run a greater risk of an early bath...if i put my SL under the reversal candle on the NU bet 50pips could have been had

As i said above trend line off last previous highs on 1hr + yesterdays high...if you feel you have too add a few more pips to your SL then do so, it could be the difference of winning or loosing all for 3 or 4 pips. as i said before, tradings is about looking at bigger picture..for example GU, EU and EJ are pretty corrilated. if GU is hitting and rebounding off Yesterdays low, the other 2 are likely to move back with it (see now),.

**NU short now in this time tight SL, just above this candle and MA

what's the significance of daily and weekly open?

  • Feb 14, 2012 8:28am Feb 14, 2012 8:28am
it's the open of the week, where the markets began at the start of the week. so it's a good SR area. and it made for a good TP target....daily open, yesterday high/low, weekly open, last week high/low....look at your pairs today, move to a smaller TF and see which one's have been influencal today...UChf has reversed off open, NU of weekly open, EU yesterday low etc.

Hi Kraven,

Thanks for sharing your system, I love my charts absolutely naked.....

I´m only testing this week EUR/USD but I have much better results on M15 (Frankfurt/London session):

Monday: -40 pips H1, +25 pips M15
Tuesday: no trades H1, +75 pips M15

What is your experience in this TF?

Thank you

hey Caillou, how you doing?

I have mentioned on here somewhere that the reversal candle will work on all TF, by it's very construct it's a strong reverse of a move. I am not disputing you will get some real good moves on lower TF's for low SL, i noticed more dead stop moves too, however the lower the TF the choppier the move. i have used 15m consistantly in the past. also trading can be confusing if you trade on too many TF's hence i settled on 1hr and daily particulary for the start of this thread, so follows can get used to the system then find there own way

this is one reason i didn't want to discuss smaller TF's...basicaly the ammount of entries...i just quickly knocked this up from UChf...times these entries from 4 or 6 pairs (i get questions and pm's about pairs i've never heard of lol) and the thread would be sooo confusing. however if you understand the actualy essence of what i'm trying to do here then KRC can be used on any TF....hell i even missed the red inverted hammer entry on chart. if you do do lower TF's stick to 1 - 3 mixed pairs.

*we could even have a EU, GU, AU, UChf 15min only day. lol

i find when trading small TF's 1-30min that 100 and 200ma's have less meaning. so i like to be aware of what the other higher TF's are doing. for a quick visual i use this indi. basicaly tells you what direction the current candle is doing on all TF's....so if 4hr, daily and weekly are green i'm more into a KRC at the end of a drop....hope it helps

Thanks Kraven,

For sure, if I follow just 15M I will do on 2-3 pairs, more than enough.

Early days but looks promising. Thank you
