Swing trading with heiken ashi and stochs

I've been using heiken ashi with fibs and stochs, basically looking for a 38 or 62 bounce on H4 in line with daily trend (if the daily trend is up only take an 'up bounce' and vice versa).
Very nice trade on GBPUSD picked up on monday evening (gmt) currently 120 pips up, can't post any charts right now as my office won't let me install mt4 but will post this evening.
Great thread by the way, been lurking but now thought I should post.
On a side note fibs are the only way I've ever managed to make money with forex, I like heiken ashi as it's a great trend indicator and helps me see turning points easier than candles along with the confirmation of a stochs cross.
Happy trading everyone!

I may be a bit late taking this one; sold @ 1.3440 at the start of a new 4H TF; 50 pip SL & TP. It's against the trend and is in a channel but the cross is good and I think the news regarding the usd is good so the pr should be a sell. It will be interesting as I have to "set & forget" - a meeting in about 45 minutes and can't monitor the trade. p.

Got my +50 pips while I was gone. I question myself that if I had stayed around would I have let the price run? I very often take profits too early and with this pair this morning it went for quite a bit more but 50 today & last Mon. makes a decent week pip wise. Good trading all, p.

Using Alpari UK broker, +1 GMT
I hope it won't deviate too much from the GMT brokers.

Potential signal for EUR/USD and EUR/GBP?

I haven't see anything so far on the 4H or 1H TFs that look good for me. I only trade 7 prs during the NY session, limited but I know the prs fairly well now.

A new 1H is 20 minutes and will fold up the tent for the week if nothing looks promising. Tomorrow's NFP is a no-trade day for me. Good trading all, p.

It's good to be wrong in this case.. Get to make money today. Yay

MrLuckyStar,

If it is not too much trouble.. is it possible to indicate the time frame you are taking the trades on? I'd like to study the charts. Thanks

hi hytten,

im always using 2chart for study.
1. cs chart.
im using h4 tf for this chart.. in this chart i put 100 & 50sma.
in this chart i look for trend n sign for open trade.

2. HA chart.
in this chart im using H2 tf (sometimes i refer to H4).. here i put stoch..

based on 2 chart... i need to know:
1. trend.
2. HA candle reversal
3. stoch cross.

if all 3 signal point is clear (refer post #516 for example), then i will consider to enter a trade...

regards.
Peace Yo!

Actually 50pips was the smart thing to do.. The reason is because that is where the next support is, not to mentioned the psychological support at "00.
