And here? {image}
I was also watching this one GeGeorge, USDCAD I do not trade at the moment. I have eight currencies on my screen. If I can't make it with those I must look for another occupation. 5 min until next H1 Bar and mine next H4 bar

{quote} thewriter30, Well, looks like nobody is interested to any skype room idea.I have my own Live Trading Room with my own team.So I don't have time for a bigger group of people here. I post here hoping to keep the TMS familiy spirit alive and help some people. Overall, looking at the number of people posting and sharing here, there isn't a lot of interest in TMS anyway. Thanks for posting this skype room idea. regards,EMMANUEL
Spot on! Well I tried!
You do a good job btw... So, live trading room? US? Aussie? can you give me the details?

{quote} thanks for sharing your trades thrax. when trading H4, we must always look at the Weekly OHLC and know the weekly traded range. This will help us in project our TPs and also know where the CONTINUATION of the trend will go to. Some weeks will be narrower range and therefore we trade according to the Weekly Price Action as the Primary Trend and wait for the breakout of the previous week' high or low and target the Prev W Fib 127% and 161%. When we see that the previous week range is wider than the average, then the breakout will not be that...
Emms

I understand looking at the Weekly Hi/Lo to project our TPs. However what are we looking for in the Open/Close of the Weekly candle?
And is this the same for the Daily candle.

{quote} Prominent88, that is not a ATR window...just a piece artwork I use to explain things on my charts posted here. when you do your business plan, you need to keep records of all traded ranges of the currency pairs you want to trade and use the data for your trade planning.
Hi Emmanuel, how do you find out the trading range for each day? So that I can keep a record of it. I have the ATR but, is the only way to do this by manually backtesting or is there an indicator to use?

I had a bad week this week..-50 pips
Thanks

there are several way to get the ATR in MT4.

use the MT4 data window

I see some posts here with session box showing pips range, that can be use too.

the previous week OHLC are the natural support and resistance, they are there for sure not need to use any indicator.

when market moves, price must break either of the previous week' Open or the Close unless market is in very narrow range than price becomes trapped within the Open and Close, right. Seldom happens.

the same when we trade lower TF and use the Day OHLC..

why do you use the price line chart ?

switch to Bar chart and you can see the OHLC of every bar on the APB/HA..

you want to look for price strength and momentum, therefore you need to see a Upthurst or Downthrust bar for entry.

OK..so were looking for a much bigger candle body before we enter and small or no wicks? Which should indicate more momentum behind the movement?

I took the trade before i read your replies before! Now that there is a good downthrust bar should i keep in the trade with the aim of hitting TP? Or should I get out now?

UP Thrust Bar example:

Here is one example where there is a very good UP thrust bar and in this situation you can enter when this candle#1 closes before TDI cross.
Or enter during candle#2 before it closes.
