An example of what you should and should not do:

I saw a PTECZ on the M5.
The price brokeout, so I entered Long.
I watched the Price Action.
A new PTECZ formed.
I saw the Consolidation on the left.
I saw the larger trend as Bearish.
Thus, I closed the Long.
I opened a Short with the trend.

EURJPY

With the trend, I continued.

Finally, said, enough.

When you are trading the M1 PTECZs, you have to sit there and watch the Price Action, there is no time to pee.
When you are trading the M5 PTECZs, you have to sit there and watch the Price Action, there is no time to pee.
When you are trading the M15 PTECZs, you have to sit there and watch the Price Action, you can afford a quick break.
When you are trading the M30 PTECZs, you have to sit there and watch the Price Action, you can afford a longer break.
When you are trading the H1 PTECZs, you have to watch the Price Action every closed hour, you can afford a long break.
When you are trading the H4 PTECZs, you have to watch the Price Action every 4 hours, you can afford a very long break.
When you are trading the D1 PTECZs, you have to watch the Price Action when the chart day ends, you can afford a whole day break.
When you are trading the W1 PTECZs, you have to watch the Price Action when the chart week ends, you 've got a whole lot of time.
When you are trading the MN PTECZs, if that makes any sense to you, you have to watch the Price Action when the chart month ends.

Hi Dadas

I'm still not sure when I should open a trade - I get it that the PTECZ is a very important zone. If we are watching the PTECZ closely, then what is the purpose of the Custom Zone Candle.

Anyone who has grasped the concept, would you care to share what you 'see' please?

I like that its possible to trade without indicators but after having read through the thread, I'm still not able to see when we should trigger a trade precisely.

Hi Dadas, nice work so far. I have, I hope, a sensible question.

With regard to your above EY charts we can see we are in a short market, per this timeframe. Why are you drawing your PTECZ's where price turns long? Why not where the sellers join the market as in my example? In this way we highlight where the sellers have come in and sold highlighting where, should price return to this level, a place to sell again?

You are correct and you understand the idea.
I am showing both ends.
You need to know both ends, the Begining, where to enter,
and the End, where to exit.

It takes some Timeframe shuffling.

But, I am not telling anyone how they should trade.

Your way is very good, simple, probably effective .

I want to know, where the trend can potentially turn back, because that will be a momentum time.

Take a look at GOLD, just now, read my posts on here:
http://www.forexfactory.com/showthre...56#post6551956

The market is Bearish, but what momentum in Long.


Also, see the potential like this?
The early entry.

OK, nice. In a way your are highlighting where 1 2 3 patterns turnaround, the point at which supply or demand come in and reverse price.

Just took this trade, more in line with your boxes earlier.

Great, now to show your trade, all you do is drag and drop the closed trade from the MT4 Terminal
History, and there you have it on the chart! Just uncheck the "Chart on foreground" in "Chart properties window".

You see, the concept is to look for the beginning in the end.
That is why I use the Potential Trend Ending Candle Zone (PTECZ).

If I look for the beginning at the beginning, I am already late, very late.

If I start looking for the beginning at the end of the Trend, I am where I am supposed to be, at the first station.
Thus, I am one of the first to board the train, and this train has no reservations.

The first get the best places, the last hang outside and often fall under the train.

It is not showing off, just showing it in the proper way.
Nobody wants to see your account statement.
This way shows at least some credential.

You see, now Misterdaz, one of your pictures is not correct, I suggest it is the second one, the last one.
Your first picture shows your entry and exit in somewhat different places.

The second one is an ideal representation.

The idea is to show the truth, not the perfect situation as you would like it to be.

We are here to learn from our mistakes, if they are mistakes, at all.

Yes my entry was what you might call an "aggressive entry". I didn't wait for price to break down before entering. The trade off I suppose is I wanted the tightest entry in relation to my stop rather than wait for price to break lower and have to risk more pips and thus lower lot size.

You must have very good eyes

On the contrary, my eyesight is not so good.
However, I do know what to look for.
And, I have my magnifying glass always with me!

It will not happen just like that and because you get the idea.
It takes practise, a lot of practise.
When you have at least 8 months practise, you can start saying something.
After 2-3 years, you may be good.
After 5-7 years, you will be the expert.

There are no shortcuts, here.

I go fast, faster then others, because I spend the whole day with Forex.
I do not read books, I do not watch TV, I only watch a film or XFactor
in the weekend, and that only ca. 2 hours.
The rest of the time, when I do not sleep or do whatever I must, house chores,
I spend on Forex.

If you can do 10% of what I do, but systematically, you will, eventually get there.
Do not expect to be expert in 2-3 days or 2-3 weeks.

Follow the steps I write in my posts.

Be sure to read them all.
