I don't know!

I can see reasons for buying and selling..

For buying I'd say there was a strong bottom pin bar, and around 0.94 is strong R so..buy

For selling I'd say the strong downtrend is intact, and the recent retrace to 0.96 was only temporary so..sell

So which is correct?

Thanks!

both are correct, only the market can and will prove us wrong.

too late to buy now,
too early to sell,
looking at USD strength of other pairs at LO, it is mix..
so we wait ...

Tentative trading plan:

Look for reasons to trade rather than not to trade.
Focus on pullback reversals for now
Continuation and double top.bot worry about later.

Yeah, waiting for a little retracement on the M15, maybe sell in about half an hour to an hour. What do you think?

{quote} hello emmanuel, if you trade the 1h, what would your sleep patterns be like?
hi tenmilewalk,

after trading for so many years, my body adapted to the market session trading hours. I can do with 4 hours sleep anytime between the 24-hour clock.

for H1 intrday trading, I chose to trade only these 5 pairs - AU, EU, GU, EJ and AJ.

the AU, EJ and AJ pairs I trade udinr the Syndey and Tokyo market hours on those days when there is news out of Sydney, Tokyo and Auckland like rates announcement, GDP, Retails sales, ... all the tier 1 red coded type news.
EU can also be traded during the same hours but usually EU do no move much unless there is follow through after events happened in the previous US session and reaction in the Asian market especially the Shanghai/HongKong and Tokyo.

Otherwise all 5 pairs can be traded from the hour GMT+5 i.e. Tok 5H right up till London close.

My H1 trades statistics shows me that my average duration for H1 trades is 2 Hour 30min with the longest up to 6 hours.
Usually a good H1 trade can be closed between 3 to 4 hour or else it run into the next market session and that is where danger lurks. If there is good PA, then I can convert my H1 trade to 4H trade and manage from there as a 4H trade.

So, when I have H1 trades open, I have to make sure I can access to my trading platform wherever I am during the 3 to 4 hours. Having a mobile device to access MT4 or any other platform is really convenient these days within city limits.
Using a trade manager EA on MT4 helps me a great deal in my H1 trading.

Hope this explains my sleep pattern. The only person who complains about this is my wife.

Regards,

In think we as traders must always get a better price to enter the market.

awesome

It looks like im going to have to start adjusting. No excuses. Or at least move to another time zone. I also noticed that a lot of the PA H1 trades last quite short, like you said, around 2 hours.
I also noticed that there are quite a lot of good trades available before LO for PA trades. But that is being said based on recent movement with the aud.usd
waking at 5am is still the big challenge for me. Missed some great opportunities because of lethargy. Example would be yesterdays GBP.USD pullback candle. Daily low, Double bottom, oversold. Missed it all because i was too lazy to get up.

thanks again.

That may be a bit extreme.

Being from the UK on GMT is ideal for me apart from the fact i work a 60 hour week on nights 1800-0600, i stay awake from 0600-10.00 and wake every two hours from there on wards until i wake at 1700 to go back to work, nocturnal basically.

I trade G/U E/J A/U during London and A/U E/NZ at night whilst at work.

Where there is a will there is a way, also learning to manipulate macro nutrients and calories to your advantage will help tenfold.

Entered GBP/USD short after PA found resistance at 1.56586 drawn from daily and confluence with Fibs 50 from H1

I forgot there was news on GBP , so I stayed in the trade and hope for the best, well news came and I was stopped out, but my stop loss was way afar from PA , I took a snap shot if anyone would clear this issue about what had gone wrong?
