Hi,
Here's one for newbies to practice.
NZDUSD
- do you see a sell setup?
- would you trade this pair now?
Hi Emmanuel,
I see a bearish 4 hr engulfing candle and the 1 hr green TDI is ready to cross the red. I'd wait for price to go 5 pips below the low of the 4 hr bearish candle & enter a sell.

Hi Xman,

It'd be great if you can post your 4H trades. I recall that I saw the same three setups and I assume that the losing one for you is EURAUD. However, I don't know how you managed to get 130 pips out of USDCAD and AUDUSD. I got only 26 pips out of AUDUSD and my USDCAD was closed at the last 4H candle (FXCM server - 1 hour ago) due to the color change in both cases.

Thanks!

what I see is UK GDP forecast is positive and better than many expects.

so speculative, GBP beats up EUR, GU goes UP. EU slows down a little until the beating stops.

Please post your chart showing your trade. We see more on your chart and help explain to you how to do better than 14pips.

Each box is a trading session. Therein is the high and the low of the session and the line in the middle is the open...yeah??? Just a graphic to help people see, so why the sarcasm?.

Ever heard of buying above the open and selling below the low...what did the previous session do...when and where is fresh liquidity coming into the market...

Here are my charts.

A/U - i was going to close it for 60pips but since E/U was very bullish yesterday i decided to set a 100 pip TP and went off to bed and usually wen i wake up i close for whatever i have. I woke up with a smile since my target was hit.
And as you can see all were blue candles thats what made me keep the trade open longer. If one candle had to close at red i wouldve exited manually

U/C - this pair hardly produces pips so when i have many trades running i close the less reliable pairs for whatever i can get and keep the good pairs running. i got 30 pips out of this pair. I almost hate this pair lol

E/A - This pair bounced off the 200EMA so i closed at -5 pips.

All these trades a i took yesterday was not A+ setups.
I just tried to get what pips i could. I didnt even expect 100 pips from A/U.
I was looking for a small targets when i took the trades initially.

I share 3 of my trades with you.
The first one was a losing trade of EURAUD. I entered according to my rules but as I could not follow the trade it hit my SL. If I could follow it I would exit it when the APBB color change happened.

The other 2 are AUDUSD and NZDUSD. I know they are highly correlated, but even then I keep monitoring both.
The trades were according to my rules. The half of the trades were closed when the pirce seemed to be hesitating and the rest hit TP.

I consider my trading approach as S3 with some minor changes to fit my personality and life.

Why did you only take 14pips. look at how bullish G/U.

Its gone up for around 40 pips now

well because i scare the price will stop going up, and i close when the pa go down below the open on next candle around 10pips if i werent wrong thats why i am taking pips for whatever i have.
and 1 more thing is because i dont know whether the pa will continue going up or starting to reverse.
bad decision

Hi nunrgguy,

There was not sarcasm intended. Since you took it that way, then I must sincerely apologise. English is not my first language.

Your post ... "Note the session opens" ...with a chart,

was rather vague when I read it. I thought it was already LO mins ago.

Now that you mention about liquidity flow, I am sure members reading this now understand what you meant.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

I didn't m8: the graphic was purely to show PA around session opens.
Been getting hammered this week tbh trying to get a net-short long term position built on EU so back to day trading for a bit to rebuild some risk.

For example, when day trading how often if London is strongly up will NY go the opposite way? Maybe some light bulbs may go off re whether 'trend' as such actually exists and maybe FX is more to do with liquidity in markets??

'Monkey' example: does the trader on desk A in London with a bunch of orders to fill from Rolls Royce, Thompson Holidays, a bunch of banks and a shed load of retailers at the best price he can get have anything to do with what happened with a completely different trader 8 hours ago on the other side of the world getting the best price he could get for a different set of institutions??

BTW, for the idiots (sorry) who will pipe up and tell me I need to learn things, as has happened before on another thread, these are rhetorical questions. I don't require an answer.

Only trade for me this morning was on GU which was opened on the 15 minute thrust above the open (yes I did gauge with the 5, tdi etc - it's as good a reason as any to get in). Now closed out, although looks may go further....when on another day might I now thing about shorting??? Maybe after NY open...

Thanks for showing this

The difference was that I entered on the second blue candle (not clear if you entered on the first or second), but at nearly the high. So I missed about 30 pips. The bigger thing is I don't know how to set TP. I set it to 100 pips of MY entry, which was about the last swing high.

When I waited until it closed with red, then I lost another 40 pips from top. In the end, I got only 26 pips
