Still learning so would these be reasonable possibilities for USDCAD?

Yes, definitly possible. But Tom would probably tell you that we've been there already on the 26th of February .

Something on my radar. Chart is on the Daily time frame. I am watching on the 1h as it is starting to get some space.

Is this a valid and tradeable SFP? It only made a new high by .00003.

Thanks.

Hi, folks and congratulations on a great thread.

Hopefully someone could answer this question about the ATR settings.

If we assume that this current daily bar on USD/JPY has closed.
What would the ATR settings need to be to work out the SL on the daily TF?

See chart for explanation.

Thanks in advance

Hi Pinbar....nice to see you here,i remember you from the J16group.
I would set the ATR period at 20( 5 trading days a month) ,considering Tom is using a 24 period to determine the stop loss on a hourly time frame.Anyway he uses the ATR on D1 only to determine a confluence a not a stop loss....but i guess you already know this.

Thanks for the reply.

No, I did not know he uses it only for confluence on the daily, I imagine he is using a logical area for the SL then.
Do you mean he is using the ATR for divergence on the daily?

Thanks again

  • Apr 6, 2013 3:45am Apr 6, 2013 3:45am
No, he looks for several factors of confluence....one of these is a confluence between the level he chooses and an ATR value from the High/Low of the Daily Bar.
In the method he presented he doesn't trade daily TF....i don't know if he does it in a separate context.

Are those RN's, S&R, TL & fibos as we do in the J16 thread with PA?

It is interesting as, we all know a large daily or weekly PB, or a massive OB can force us to have a very large stop, this way, the stop thus a great deal of the risk is reduced.

Many thanks again benem.

Hi Pinbar,
I would wait as the pinbar breaks then, find the entry and set SL on H1 timeframe. I would consider SFP and Pb as 2 factors of confluence (D1 bias).

Hi Pinbar,
An SFP on the daily timeframe just provides a bias. Entry is taken off the hourly timeframe if there is a suitable level, as in previous S/R.

Thanks for the information folks.

I see, now.

Tom is taking a daily PA pattern probably traditional S&R & round numbers, then using the daily signal to find a trigger on the H1 tf for a better RR ratio and a smaller stop, via the SFP. Swimming with the big fish eh.

Thanks again folks and I appreciate the kindness shown in this thread.
I am sure Tom is appreciative of the spirit with which you all help people out.

Great stuff.

Here is a nice one I am looking at in retrospect.

Seems to have enough confluence and a logical area to place a small SL, with a clear FTA and target area.

Very interesting.

Comments or corrections welcome.
I am a newbie and need correcting on a few points.
