Yes these days I just view a chart like a treasure map to show me the location of potential unfilled buy and sell orders. Nothing else.

kenneth would u plz direct me to a post where u explain about swap levels ? need to understand that concept clearly

C-12 chart shows it clearly. I just coined the term SWAP to stay in tune with Supply and Demand trading . In his chart it has swapped from a buy to a sell level , Or demand to supply. Everyone else would say support becomes resistance. But we are looking for the Demand level now not a area but a precise KNOWN level where a abundance of supply caused this demand level to fail.

Anyway my two cents.. Cheers

Hi C-12,

Great trades you have there. What triggers you have for M1 to enter the trade?

So far I have only been entering on limit orders on the first touch back to the SD zones with stops at the other side of the stack.
Occasionally price goes off ahead of the PO or missed by the spread. Missing some trades is fine but occasionally price may blow through one or two levels first before holding. Thus there is a need for wide stop, most often would upset the RRR.

Was thinking of how to have better probability that my chosen SD levels are holding? And to achieve better RRR

Hi C-12,

I'll be honest and say that I was really struggling with swing trades and pending orders. Some weeks were great where others I was waking up to being stopped out or sometimes price got a few pips before my target and then reversed!

About 2 weeks ago I made a thread on AG regarding trading the M1 time frame and was shocked to find the cleanest levels with the best Risk / Reward ratios.

http://www.acegazette.com/en/forum/s...-charting.html

The secret with this time frame is trade management. I watch for any kind of rejection (Engulfing bar, doji or Pin) from the level. You don't even need to wait for the bar to fully form. You can see the rejection take place. I then take the trade and then get my position to BE + spread after a few pips.

If I get stopped out for BE then I'll take the trade once again if I get another rejection. Again, stop at BE after a few pips.

A swap is where a previous demand level fails and then it becomes a supply level. They are very powerful levels. Here's a chart.
So I went out to the gym and came back in to find that top level had been hit. lol

That's almost a 10:1 R

This EA is helpful. Basically you can drag your stop loss and tp level around on Metatrader. Absolutely essential tool.

This is pretty much what i do on the higher time frames. I like to wait for price to show me there's interest in my levels.

EDIT: I think i deleted half my post by mistake before i posted it.

It makes sense that SD levels would be very clear on the 1min timeframe. People say it's a lot of noise but they're not looking at the charts from a SD standpoint. No such thing as noise when it comes to the market.

Excellent stuff C-12..and with proper position sizing one could do very well. I will start stepping down into th 1M on the Asain session. You know I like the smaller TF...

Thanks

I've done very very well with this today using just 1 standard lot ($10 per pip). Just make sure you're in sync with the higher timeframe and the levels will stick out like a sore thumb.

Yes a lot of folks swear by that deep retracement level.

Just closed a oz and e/u long , left a bit on oz to add to . not sure it is headed back up but possibility. so will look for a long spot to add to later .

OZ looked like a long with more possibilities than euro. Had a ugly head and shoulders . Will look for a higher low now to add to. But will gauge with Price action as it has a long way to go ,to not be a CT trade.

got 50 of e/u . . trying to hold more and get back into managing trades instead of in or out options.

Hope your doing...
The 78.6 is my number.

The balancing act is coming along. Working on a way I can trade hourly charts with my phone while working. Being the boss and all helps.

Drives me nuts to see my employees staring at their cell phones or talking while on the clock. I know for a fact I would not have made it in the office environment with alll the usless chit chat that goes on. So to continue to set the example, checking the charts durring breaks and lunch.

As for the hard manual labor...Been doing it for years and it has taken its toll. Trading will be my way out.

More M1 madness both long and short. Get your stop to BE after a few pips and the winners will take care of themselves.

When you say higher TF which ones are looking? H1, H4, daily?

I'm liking this.. I trade the smaller TF's (1M, 5M ) when trading the Mini's.. Hopefully this will fit right in

Will definitely be following

Thanks again

Just in the live webinar now with Sam Seiden and he's marked off a really strange level I've never seen before. His logic made sense.

Worth watching the video later.
