The thread started off a 4H strategy taking direction from the 100 MA.

There is a link on the first page to the updated strategy.

Look at D1 for direction and then trade off the H1 (no need to look at H4).

Worth reading the PDF here, post 1640.

What is confusing to me is the difference in the stochs reading between the D and the 1H - on the D chart are we only looking at the trend, stochs aren't important?
No, stochs still important on the daily. Look for a signal on the daily then drop down to the hourly to trade the trend that may or may not develop.

What I donīt understand about this nice and soft system is the sl setting - do you really keep it 20 pips away from the sma 100 even you get a strong move that brings you more than 100 pips away from the sma? or do you stick on 50 pips max? (I donīt youse mt4 so much, so I canīt stalk what the ea is doing) I didnīt find anything in the pdf about BE...

In my opinion GBP/AUD daily looks good, may be in the late sessions there could be a go in H1...

Thanks a lot

I'm up 90 pips on the audusd and 65 pips on the audcad - my SLs are at BE and I'm holding on. Hopefully the RBA's asst gov doesn't kill it for me tonight when he talks...

Malibo,

When price moves quite a bit away from the sma, I prefer to move my SL to b/e at the very least. Giving back pips is common, but letting a winner turn into a loser can be frustrating. I usually let profit get to at least 50 pips before I do that, tho. Just my personal preference...

that sound good - even breaching the sma 100 might be rare..

You were right with the 50 pips max. Also getting to break even is usually a good option, if you get stopped out and it turns again you can always have another go.

Hi! I have been reading this thread and just want to say thanks to everyone for their inputs! I just have one question, do you use the daily tf to place stops or the hourly? and same with re-entries after a correction? Thanks!

I have an entry order to short at 2095 as well. Think the retrace is finished.

not following the EJ, sorry. But UJ seems to be nearing the end of its rally on the H1. Looking at the swing high at ~78.28 may have a little more steam left but can't see it going much higher...

Hi,

I am also new to this thread.

I was looking at the EU H4, and I found this Doji and put a sellstop under it and it just triggered.

Is this a valid entry? Since it is below the 100MA. The only thing probably wrong is that Stoch is at Oversold.

Any feedbacks please and thank you

It is not a valid entry because it would have been better to wait for a pullback however the trend is pretty strong and you may be able to take some pips here. I wouldn't recommend you to do this all the time though, it is very low probability in the long term.

Would this be considered as a potential entry if it closes like this on EU H1?

Sorry and thanks for feedback as usual

Don't be sorry, fine to ask questions. I just think a bigger pullback would be better. Doesn't mean this trade won't work but I'm not taking it.
