Anyone trading oil?? {image}
Yes. Love trading commodities. I wouldn't recommend it for newbies though as price often times swings very fast.

Yes, its always lively, the ATR for the last 28 days is 220.

It obeys genesis and pivots. If you get direction right and use a fairly wide stoploss you often get a good movement - especially in the afternoon.

Tried the system today a bit, entered 2 trades based on 1H SR flip.
Was a bit late in the day for me, so I wasnt monitoring close and just put a trail on it.

Will investigate further...

{quote} EUR/GBP Long Stop loss hit (-1R) AUD/JPY Short TP +1R USD/CAD Long BE +2 pips EUR/USD Short +1R Considering, I'm looking at H4 charts there are a lot of potential setups I'm going to have to look at dropping my exposure per trade. I'm going to add the D1 Genesis Matrix to the H4 chart, for extra filtering, wait for a signal on the D1 Matrix and then look for setups on the H4 chart to take a trade.
That EU short was a really nice trade. Congrats, Steve! I saw the setup, but didn't take it eventually (newbie hesitation syndrome).

Fingers crossed for the USDCAD trade too

Thank you for posting.

{quote} Hi RJ, Sorry for the late reply been busy with other things. I usually look at moving my SL to BE +2 after it gets to +1R, although with this method, I'm struggling, to get more than 1R out of a trade. I'm going to look at adding the D1 Genesis Matrix to the H4 chart as extra filtering, as I stated in the post above, to see if that has a positive effect. I'm going to look at reducing my exposure per trade because of the amount of potential setups I'm seeing. Any advise you can give would be gratefully received.
Hiya Steve,

No need to apologise, life is important!!

I can't offer much help with your H4 trading....I do look at the H4 charts every day, but usually just for personal analysis reasons over the longer term. I do see some great runs on that TF, but I also see a lot of whipping around where you would get stopped. Of course those same moves on a smaller TF are easy and profitable to trade. I guess H4 trading is (excuse the pun) a trade off between convenience/relaxed/less screen time trading, and consistent daily profits with high screen time. For sure, when the H4 gets you into a good run, it could be immensely profitable, especially if you are able (and willing) to scale in additional positions.

I do have a couple of ideas that I'd like to test and if they look good I'll share them....what currency pairs do you prefer? I see that EU has not been favourable for H4 trading for some time, due to the crap range we've been stuck in, and that could get expensive (in SL hits) if you were to persist. I guess that's the archilles heel of H4 trading.......

EJ also moved during Tokyo session with better DP location. Like RJ said recently, Asian session has been fertile but is not classical Genesis trading time and difficult to catch from other parts of the planet.

Hi RJ,

The pairs I like to trade most are EUR/USD - GBP/USD - AUD/USD - USD/CHF - USD/CAD - NZD/USD

I find the EUR/GBP a bit sluggish, been expensive this week (-1R),

I'm trying hard to get better at trading the USD/JPY - EUR/JPY - AUD/JPY pairs you have to time your entry just right or they'll have you for breakfast.

When the markets are in a tight range it's very difficult to trade H4 it's in times like that when you have to be able to distinguish a good setup from a bad one, this part I'm still learning.

Never go against the general trend of the market if you want to bank more than few pips, or take less losses.

I think you can expect this at present with a lot of currencies at crucial levels, either new highs or back to longer term supports....and it's Friday..

Well, this is before anything happens -- you must scroll through a few HTF charts and just have a peep to see what I mean. A lot of the JPY crosses are right up there now and may consolidate as they say or become choppy. The GBP is on support and the $US is a skyrocket. -- big drivers of everything else around.
