I see most trade done in H4 timeframes. Is there any reason why no one uses the daily charts?
Just about the right timeframe for me as I work a 9-6 and can just about check the charts every 4 hours. Looking to move to the daily though asap. Then that will be freedom + profit

If you do trade 4 hour chart, trade a strategy that has leniency in giving entry and/or exit signals and doesn't require you check in every four hours. That way you can skip a few bars/candles and still execute your strategy. Since humans sleep about 8 hours on average, it is very difficult to be on charts so frequently when trading solo. Not to mention it becomes alot of work. Mobile devices can make it easier however.

Thanks for this great threat . It is simple and easy to follow and I have been getting good results. I only take the trades when the daily 4h and 1 hr are all in synch either all above the sma or all below. Less trades but overall they seem to be more successful. I have mainly been taking 1 hr as i dont have the bank to expose my account with bigger stops at this time.

Slow and steady....
thats great airgead...

just remember the size of the stop doesn't matter, you have to adjust your lot size so every trade is the same %age of your account... thats the key money management part of the strategy..

Your strategy looks very good but how can we understand trend line going to break .....??? I mean how can we understand that this trend line will sustain how many days...???

thank U
You trade the reaction to the trend line (or ma), so if trend line/ma holds and you get another signal in same direction fine. If trend line/ma fails then you look for next signal in the new direction.

See the above silver chart where the new potential buy set up that may play out following cross of ma is pretty clear.

This is what this strategy gives me - leniency. I can always sneak and check on my phone intra-4h if I am not asleep but I tend to want to leave things to avoid over managing the trades. Daily would be just fine. I have even experimented with weekly!

Hey Vantage great to see you here, similar concept in our approach...

trend and price action...

you still consistent? do you have a similar concept for risk? do you set risk to the same amount for every trade?

There is a justification for going long though but it would not be according to this strategy

I actually took the H4 AUD/USD signal....Not the strongest of signals, but there is room to move to at around 1.0350. Currently up about 20pips.

According to the thread on this system you should only be looking to go long on gold.

However where the euro goes so does gold. Below is what I wrote on my blog a few days ago. Short term there is weakness in the stock market and the euro so there will be profit on the gold sell - and silver sell.
Hope this helps

I know. I know. I know. The eternal dollar bull bullish on Gold. Don't blame me I say it the way I see it. And if you read a write-up I made on not getting married to a concept or position you would understand why I am putting this out.

Gold went down and consoludated into a channel. We have a breakout of that channel in a big way today. This baby might be on the way again to 1800. A break of 1720 area where the line is will give more confidence while a retreat back into the channel means it was just a dream

Gotcha....As of now, the trade is +37. I am thinking there will be some type of resistance around that 1.0350 area. Looking to take my profits in about 8-10 pips.
