Yes, Kelly, I have somehow developed a "muppet hatred syndrome" just by being on this thread.....I hope ninja warriors are not headed my way....I didn't really mean what I said about those most respected polititicians......

{quote} Well...Ok, then. Edit: the way I put it to myself - if RJ didn't take it than it probably was trading news...

{quote} CW, I agree the trade was taken during the news, but what gave me additional confidence in that long was a look at the H4 chart. There clearly is a HL, a bounce off a BRN 1.29 and the matrix plus both stochs spelling bullish momentum. It is only logical that the price might be heading towards 1.30 again. But that is no prediction, just my amateurish thought process. No wonder RJ didn't take the trade!
Kosmo, thank you for this explanation, it help to see it with your eyes.

{quote} Kosmo, I'm adopting a m5-m60 strategy for now, and I'm looking for a setup after a h1 pullback. This trade you took, I hesitated about taking it but wasn't sure yet. Case in point, I got my m5 short signal which I ignored, now if I get a long one after, unless things have changed and price isn't making higher lows, I just might take it. It seems logical to me. {image}
See the chart below.....the stoch has fallen....yet the price continues to fall. Just because the stoch has fallen that does not necessarily mean that the price is over sold...it can also mean that the bulls are very strong, so a short entry on a pullback is valid.
Also, when Cody, Olivia, Wiz3003 and I worked on the 15/5 strategy, we looked first the 60 - 5 strategy developed for the Symphonie system by Yelena. We all agreed that unless we we in a very strong trend, the time difference between M5 and M60 was far too great. There are 12 5 minute 'blocks' per 60 minutes. That is to say that the trend may turn in the first one or two 5 minute blocks, but it won't become apparent until the H1 candle closes......in 50 minutes time!! If that were to happen....and it will happen, the M15 will pick it up within 3 5 minute blocks.......3 x 5 = 15.
The 60/5 method can work in a decent trend, but it *will* catch you out sooner or later....and in short trends or choppy markets like EU has been most of this year, you will get killed!!
Take some time out man.....calm down.....this is simple, don't make it harder than it is. Have a look at the 5 - 15 PDF and come back next week with a clear head....and read up on stoch
