I took this setup and I lost.
Was this a good setup? I think the confluence was good but it was small.

{quote} I want to learn to fish. I would only take a fund manager for learning how to trade not for him to make money for me. If I see what setups trades a competent trader, how he makes trade management I think I will learn faster. There are indeed many scammers but anyway I would only give to a fund manager the minimum amount required to trade because it would be only for learning purposes.

Hey S,

Glad to see you want to learn to trade as opposed to depend on some one to manage your account.

This thread will help you with that as we are a good bunch here always on the lookout to help each other out. However we dont go about this by actually giving out trading signals so to say. People share past and potential trades good and bad for their own (and others) sake of learning via discussion and comments. These are strictly just personal opinions that fulfil the purpose of creating an atmosphere conducive to learning with real examplea yet ensure that each individual is encouraged to undertake his/her own analysis and learn to take responsibilty and credit for it early on which is extremely important.

Welcome to the group and please dont hesitate to ask questions and seek help.

Hey J,

you thought correct. HCR is drawn off bar closes. On Pinbar's chart he indicated the HCR by the shorter horizontal line under the dotted line. You can see its off the bar close and is in the same spot as yours.

Yeah, very Little space & small PB with a bullish close.
This could be part of the Monthly BUEOB setting up.

{quote} Hey Dan I don't use any indicators myself. After awhile you know what they are going to say without being on your chart. For example MACD most use for divergence but after awhile you can spot that divergence quite easily without that indicator. So for me over the years I've just left my chart blank as it's easier to see what's going on for my mind. For me the best use of my time spent with DS was just getting a deeper understanding about markets(in general) as well as understanding what it is one is trying to do with their methods. I was...

What is actually happening when divergence occurs?

{quote} You can screw up at trading in two possible ways. Either you are too aggressive or you're too conservative. If you're too aggressive you mess up by over leveraging, over trading and over risking and if you're too conservative you screw up because you can't handle an inevitable element of successful trading - losses. Both of these schools of thought and mindsets can be worked upon over time and I am glad that you understand that the trial and error process will take some time. Also good to hear that you realize how trading income can comfortably...
Ghous,

Do you mind sharing with me the link where Mike explains about price bursting through or holds up at trouble area?

Which indicates strength and which indicates exhaustion?

Thank you!

{quote} Mike, What is actually happening when divergence occurs? Thank you! Kenny
Price will make a new low or high and will raise or fall fast, then make another new low and high and raise or fall sharply again. We say price is losing momentum that case or we can see a rounding effect of the price. No real power of bears or bulls.

Hey Kenny,

I'm not to sure technically what happens, but the best analogy which I use to help me understand this is.

For instance if we are going a constant speed in our motor vehicle, with the same amount of revs etc, and then we come across a sharp hill, the car when going up initially will be fine however then will slowly start struggling with the ascent, and thus the car starts slowing down. This 'slowing down' in my eyes are areas of reversal where the car has a possibility of rolling back.

Not sure if this analogy will helps but helped me understand diverenge

Hi guys,

Quick question. It appears different brokers have different opening and closing times for say daily bars. For example, Oanda daily bar is from 00:00 EST to 00:00 EST, and Alpari UK's is from 21:00 GMT to 21:00 GMT. I am based in the UK and intend using Alpari UK. Say I was watching a daily pin bar forming, so by 21:00 GMT, that would have completed (closed) on an Alpari UK MT4 platform, but still open on a Oanda MT4 platform. So my question is what is the implication of this if I took a trade based on the completion of the pin bar at 21:00 GMT, which probably later changed from a pin bar to something else at the close on say Oanda's? Many thanks
