good work Rust...i took usd/jpy
It's the same trade actually. I chose the cad, cause there was a bit wider space to the fta.

Damn I was out to lunch when that happened, I wanted to get in at the very bottom. I'm long at 1.3286.

Couldnt do a buy stop either because I was already shorting.

Hi guys i have a doubt about Tom's trading method, and before asking him i'd like to have your opinion.
We all know( i hope) the criteria he uses to consider an h1 level a tradable one,but what use does he do with the levels marked on Daily time frame once he look at h1 to trade?
Patience is essential

D1 levels trump the H1 levels imo. It gives you either: bias or targets or trouble areas not visible on H1. Sticking to one TF seems kind of ignorant and harmful imo.

Thanks,indeed i think he uses D1 levels as a road map,applying the same criteria he uses on h1 to consider it a tradable one,but with a bigger meaning because is a D1 / Week level.

A nice little AUDCHF SPF
In on the close out at the first FTA (lower blue bar) with no Daily bias.
Gave 1.15R if using a 24 period ATR based stop
