i am of the opposite position: that confluence area is good for a short bounce...gbp/cad buy. i know that the fundamental of cad beats that of gbp...gbp/cad has been consolidating for ever...

reasons stated on chart.
i was obviously wrong. luckily i didnt enter long because my 1,2,3 formation didnt form at the point of confluence(see chart below).

in retrospect, i dont know what i was thinking. under normal condition, cad fundies beat that of gbp. secondly, we have a major economic scandal in gbp. on top of that, we have iran raising oil,...with cad exhibiting a solid correlation with commodities(and gold and oil are moving up.)

GOOD WORK, dboy.

p.s. I RECEIVed YOUR EMAIL.

Admitting that we are wrong is something that greatly improves our trading abilities.

No one is right all the time. No one.

It is the guys who never admit they are wrong who are the ones who buy all the way down. Psychologically we want to be right all the time, but admitting that we can wrong is a fairly liberating experience... for me, anyway.

Edit: Added some PA in zones trades of the wild day. I was wrong timing a NZD/USD long, but stops are always nice and tight.

Nice kill on these ones. I wanted to slaughter the hell outta Euraud after almost putting a sell stop @ 10pips after break of 1.2149 support and even selling the retracement from the TL but I refuse my account to be over-traded/[sic]"over-risked".

Its good to see new guys coming in and sharing charts, since DW was holding up the thread by himself for such a a long time.

Update:
AUD/CAD loss: 1/2 for -15 and other 1/2 for -30.

GBP/NZD:
1st positon: 1/2 +40, other 1/2 moved to BE+30
2nd positon:1/2 +48, other 1/2 moved lower to above last high.
TP at 1.925

Bulls pressure seems to be running out on NZDUSD and AUDUSD but it may be as a result of a relatively strong USA $$$. Massive consolidation on the NZDUSD, quite tempting but I have to wait and Keeping an eye on both. Hopefully, a fundie from AUS and NZD would trigger the bears or a massive breakout from range.

Hi dboy365,


Nice ways of looking reversal.


I believe (opinion) AUDUSD need to knock 1.02750 to see bear joining the party ( friday ). Because I trade using 60M TF, i see 5 hourly candle rising, if this fail to reach 1.0300, i;m looking for short.

Keep up the good work, because I'm still learning.

Thank You

Gibril

Your broker has a different feed. He does not close candles at the same time as DW's.

Its not a big deal, but people usually prefer a broker, which closes the daily candle when NY market closes; as it is the unofficial end of the day.
Thanks Quezoy got it.


Quoting DarkWolF
I am glad I can be of some help.

Like Quezoy stated Chandresh its simply the broker feeds that are slightly different.

I have attached 2 imgaes with the first one being the broker I use to chart from which is Alpari and another showing a different feed.

These images are taken from the Metatrader 4 Market Watch tab. Notice how the second one is an hour behind the first one, simply meaning that the candle will close one hour after the first one.

Someone may correct me if I am wrong but I think this is simply the amount of hours away from GMT...

Thanks DarkWolf for the info,
1) Got the point what you showed me, also what I can see as per Quezoy said people prefer brokers closing daily candles at NY time, my MT4 is syncd to NY time which is 5hr behind UK time (my time), then how come I dont see similar graph as yours, the reason I am asking is I was reading the James16 thread and there was mention of Pin Bar. Newbies like me then generally makes a decision as per seeing that but I dont get a chance to see that so I cant decide to do anything and my entries go wrong. (Or should I need to open a demo acc from Alpari then Can I use one live and one demo MT4 on the same machine?)

2) Also you mentioned using MT4 yourself, so I assume all your graphs are from MT4 (or may b not), what is that little time saying on top left corner which says ** minutes and ** sec to end the bar.. I assume it would be changing as per the time frame, for each candle? how can I set it in my MT4 if possible?

Thanks for your help man.

Hi Chandresh

Have you checked if your broker uses a 5 or 6 day chart? If it uses a 6 day chart, which includes Sundays, you won't see the same patterns as on a 5 day chart.

Well, it still looks, like you broker does not close the candle at NY close.
Use the attached candle time indy and we can compare it tommorow.

You can have several profiles on your MT4. So you can just change the profile and thereby change from demo to live.
Somebody correct me if Im wrong.

It broke, but just underneath it is support. So unless this breakes also, I'd not go short.

Pretty much waiting&watching mode. I was very tempted to short N/U, cause its so nicely consolidating below support and TL... but I overcame the devil and decided to wait

ATM, I like N/U still much better then A/U. I know, big correlation and everything, but still.
N/U is trapepd between BRN to the downside and support&TL to the upside.
Whatever happens, I wont go for the break but wait for a ret.

Absolutely correct Verto, no one is right all the time, and losing trades simply are going to happen. If anyone tells me they dont take losing trades then I would be a bit sceptical of it.

Some nice trades there, picking up a swag of pips by the look, good work

Entered EUR/GBP
Break of support, consolidation below.
Now, Im not really happy with this trade, cause we had allready a strong move down and next support is not far away. Took it a bit hastly...

I guess I'll take half at support what would mean R:R 1:1 and see what happens there.
GBP reached support after todays fall against USD, JPY and CAD, so there should be some strenght coming in.

Thanks for your help man.
Yes absolutely you can have more than on MT4 on the same machine, I run multiple on mine to allow me to have numerous charts open on different monitors. All of my charts are from MT4.

That timer is on the Market Watch tab. If you click on your Market watch tab on the toolbar of your MT4 you should see it also. If yours does not match the same time as the one from my first image then you will have different bar close times to my charts and therefore a different look to your charts.

It does not change to the time frames it is simply a timer with hours vs GMT time.

You can not change this in your MT4 as it is a time that is set different by each broker.

You can simply chart from one and enter live trades from another platform if your live broker does not give you that time. There are numerous ways that you could achieve that but can go into that another time.

Does that clear it up for you ? if not let me know.

While checking on Daily chart it seems I can count 6 dates in a row, meaning its 6 days chart.. Good point.. thx..

I will be passing on any of the Daily breaks at this point in time due mainly to NFP out later today. I may miss a move but so be it. I tend to play it safe at NFP time. If they do break lower I will simply have to wait for another opportunity.
