Came across this Thread last week. This system catched my intrest as i like it simpel I trade 4h timeframe during London session. It's great to find such a thread where very skilled Traders are around, it's the best motivation for me to reach goals, thank you

Here's the trade i did today on EUR/GBP. I was thinking not to do the trade due to the heavy load of news and decided to trade only 1 Position. There fore i set the TP at the last resistance and did not let it run. Normally i would open 2 contract, close 1 at TP and let second run for big times

Hi Sniper,

Very good trade, well done. CONGRATS!
I like the way you use Prev W Fib-r 50%. Obviously a continuation of the previous week down flow and my favourite Fib38/50 type of entry level.
Nice setup you got there too.
One more condition you can add to that trade setup is Stoch bearish divergence.
It is also one of those TDI phenomenon where the TDI PL exit the VB, re-enters VB type scenario.

BTW, you took out my last remaining buy pos, ....so I am out at BE+2pips.

Good Trading.

Hi ALL,

now happy to get back to my usual PC and can post some charts.

My EURGBP H4 trade finally closed:

There was a very obvious invalidation of my buy trade opened on Monday. But since I had two profitable pos banked in, I had to make a crcucial decision if I would want to close that last pos when I saw the opposite setup (trade invalidation). In hindsight, I should have. Hindsight is 20/20 vision, and trading is not about hindsight. It is about having the mental fitness to be in the market and stay in the market.

Trade Well folks.


Here is my chart showing my last position closed.

Hi emmanuel,
What's the role of highlighted divergence on TDI and stoch?
Also with such news yesterday, EJ is hardly moving now. Do you trade today? Friday? Or what's your plan for next week?
Thank you.

It's so good to see you post again in this thread.
Some many good posts from you today and I just want to pick this one above to remind us all that trading is a profession and yet many traders do not see this yet.

And 90% psychological ... I fully agree. It is about having the mental fitness to be a trader.

Hi kbp,

Divergence as I learned is the 'weakness' of lagging indicators not able to follow the volatile price movements. Divergence in indicators like MACD, Stochastic, CCI, RSI which the TDI is based on - are all good chart conditions to look for trades. But again, these divergence conditions must be supported with Price Action and Support and Resistance trading. SInce we all use TDI and Stoch, these H4 divergence can be traded profitably with PASR.

I traded today, I took EJ but not TMS 4H. I am a gridder so I have trades every day.
Tomorrow is Friday and NFP day. I do not have any open trades now, but I will wait and see how Tokyo open and scan for H1 trades today. No 4H trades today as it is Friday and I do not like to hold trades over the weekend.

Plan for next week? sure I have after NY close tomorrow and I will update all my Big Picture and do my trade plan for week 19.

regards,

Thank you Emmanuel, Good Point with the Stochastic, its another odds' enhancer, didnt see that one!

I try to concentrate on less trading but good setups. The TMS is a really good help for that. I messed up too many trades just for the cause to be in a trade.

Thanks for the position

Have a great day

EJ 3 May.

A lot of discussion about EJ today.
This week is a special week as the W candle straddles two months - April and May.
Today, the smart money decided to re-set everything to last month close or this month' open.

Have a look at your monthly chart. If you are a long term position trader, will you want to be buyer or seller?

where will you buy?
when will you buy?

remember the market type which I shared this week. We are still in a contracting market, but EJ has such wide traded range so it is good to pick H1 and H4 trades. EJ will break into an expanding market type before the next trending phase.

{quote} Hi Emmanuel, If you are able please comment this EU missed setup. Maybe you able to give some advice how we should manage this situation... red horizontal lines are resistance. If we would enter at open of NYO candle it would give about 100 pips, but it's a swing high and TDI cross is almost at level 68, so no entry at this point. If we will wait for close of NYO candle it's to close to resistance no.2 So how to take pips from this setup on 4H? I think in this place only 1H chart can help to take some pips... Regards, Arunas {image}
http://www.forexfactory.com/attachme...1&d=1367500100

Hi Arunaz,

Thanks for posting this EU H4 example.

It wont be easy to pick out that 4H setup if we did not follow the rhythm of the currency pair we trade.
All traders must learn and do the Big Picture and follow the currency pair you want to trade on regular basis.
We must be in sync with the currency pair we trade, and be attached to it and follow the market rhythm.

I follow EU everyday/week since the time I started trading spot forex.

You mention a resistance,yes that is 1.31150 a historical S&R. That level come into play several times in the last 8 weeks.

If you look at the dip from Feb High to Mar Low, that 1.3116 is Fib-r 38% region.... and the BRN 1.3100.

This week 18, PA rally from opening which is also Prev W Fib-r 50% as support. This rally stop at Prev W High, ans all the candle wicks are touching this region 1.3100 .... and 13.115, 1.3116...
and few inside bars.

H4 trading is to trade a breakout, but as always breakout candles are very fast and furious so we must get in before the breakout,
that where H1 trading come in.

On H1, PA show a pullback of the Prev D rallay, and supported by Prev D Fib-r 50%...(my Fav Fib 38/50) type entry, so one possible H1 trade is to take the reverse trade when TOK_5H fails and that is actuallt the H4 breakout direction if we use the TDI as our direction finder.

For all these to happen, we always need some stimulus and news is one stimulus for us to position ourselves before in the market.

Now, take some time and look at D and H4, describe what is the market type for week 18 and next week 19.

W99,

Good Trade . I love 2Rs trade win.

What ever method you used to determine that initial SL sure worked out well.

EURGBP is s special pair, pip value is $15 unlike other pair.

If you check the
ATR(100) on H4 is about 21pips.
ATR(100) Day is about 59 pips.

I would look at all the recent ATR(5), ATR(10) and ATR(20) on H4 and compare them with ATR(100). If you see many recent small H4 candles, then I would prefer to use the ATR(100) H4 and 2xATR(100) H4 for my initial SL.

Another way is use the ATR(100) Days and take 60% (about 36pips) of that for initial SL.

In most trades that I did, this works out well.

Or for this particular trade setup, you can also look at the chart and see where is a good logical technical stop using PA last swing high/low.

Compare that with the ATR method and be comfortable with either one

The whole idea is to get into the market and stay in the market long enough to get some pips profits.

There is no need for greed, there is no time for fear. Just do it right the first time.

Trade Well.

Hi,

Thanks for that very in depth answer. sure is above my head with the ATR at this time.
To be honest, at the moment I just eye ball the last swing hi/low and place my SL a few pips further away. Recently Ive been using the HTF to place stops and targets etc as this keeps me away from the Time frame movement that has taken me out in the past. Its not perfect or scientific but its something Im experimenting with. Also the use of your "R" script works really well to determine how much % i have when taking the trade....hope this makes sense..
