{quote} Hi Yvon, very nice trade!! Well yesterday I was waiting for the news...and thought maybe I can grab some pips there. Just before the moment the "the Big Boss" held his talk I had a phonecall for a website I'm working on.... well half an hour later (after my phonecall) the move was already there... But... Because of the strong move I also went in and finally I closed it a moment ago with 70.8pips profit I think I closed it to late.... no... I know!! The best TP was arround the sma98 (as you did...and as the strategy is actually telling)...

nice trade, congrat!
I guess that the usd getting stronger brings a big change in the market. I am just thinking about the price of gold going down brings the AUD on a weaker pace. Just adding a stronger USD, pulls harder the pair down since AUD is gold related.

I'd like to say thank you to Phillip Nel and trademin!
Thank you for your great patience and worthy time keeping this thread running.
It's a bit slow for me to learn the documents you shared on 4Hour Market Rythm since English is not my native language.
I try to participate in posting charts.
Here is the first chart I post.
Any comments is welcome.

I just had a trade...following and sticking to the rules... et voila

Nice trade...nice profit +/- 49.3 pips

This week I'm very pleased with my 120,1 pips profit
Pleaseplease...I really hope I can master this, at least it's making fun. I still have to go a long way and solve my "not sticking to the plan" problem

Have a nice weekend and till next week!!

hi,
it is a nice shot, it seems to me that you have more patience than me: I got out at the 89, but it is valid since it is by the rules! I don't see the macd indicator on your chart.- It is ok to be slow due to language since in exchange you gain the ability!
a good clean trade!

I quess I'm only speak those two words French... I left French-lessons since I was 14 years old I believe.......No-No....I'm 100% Dutch

It's stupid...when I'm back testing it works like a charm....but the real thing is a lot more problematic....and why. Well I guess because it's real money I just need more confidence!! Well I'm working on it

when you mentioned "Duch" it did sound something to me. When I was about 3 feet high, there was a container called "Old Duch" (with a picture of a wind mill and a lady with a white hat and wood shoes) that we used to clean heavy stain in the bathroom. I don't know if it still exist.
wind mill...beautiful...is there any around your place? still operational?

I'm getting back to you because, as I said earlier I closed at the 89 sma .-but took it after the crossing of 89. I want to salute that you support the loss on the gain you had made. - I have sometime problem with that! I prefer getting out at support or "barrier" then wait for a pullback, after the crossing. But let me say that you are right by staying in the trade, since the second option is a Stop Loss just above the 21 ema.---Here in the EURUSD case, it is a tragic down move that the pair is doing so the 21 ema or 8 ema is getting late staying close to the price itself and large distance shows the increasing speed at which traders get involved. the macd gave a beautiful Round Top(daily chart) while it was in an overbought situation. I am often reluctant with round top since it is a counter trade, but the pair being quite overbought( in the daily chart) and by being divergent in the 4hrs chart.- Nice trade and I guess the ride down it is not over yet.

I just want to share something here:

look at chart post 25871 or 25876 the macd divergence push the price down (from figure Head and shoulders)
look now at post 25879 (about the JPY) the macd divergence pull the price up.

It doesn't mean that it will happens every time but why not be prepare, just in case?-aren't we supposed to "Anticipate?"

and again, if you look closely at figure 25879, the market responded to my saying in post 25871 when I wrote:

" we can see an HS. it is completed. from that formation, if there is a pull back (in macd) but stay bellow zero, then, forming a TC there, the move away that should happens is my favourite trade! sometime they are big move!"

---Sure in this case it is the opposite since macd moved above zero: it stayed above, then came the big move!!!---

Hi,

New trade for me at eurusd....

It's a countertrend trade (Long)....need to be carefull in this market

Wenn I have a small profit.... I'm going quickly to BE (I don't trust the market.... but the MACD and market rhythm are calling!!
Hope it's working out!!


Edit1: well price jumped to 17 pips profit....but as quickly as my eyes go...it went back...minus for +/-17 pips...
and just set the trade to BE

Edit2: I'm out.... SL hit at BE (+1.9 pips)
Well at least it was a try

Well...the question is now...was it a valid trade?! I still think so...
-price below sm89 (down mood => so it was a counter trade
-price was away from ema8
-price didn't broke sma200
-price also at sma365
-there was a not filled weekend gap
-and MACD gave a Double Bottom

So yes I think it was a valid one...

Anyway...Right now I'm looking for a possible down-move... but we also need to notice the SMA200...so we wait and will see if the next down-signal is a tradeble trade

Edit3: Well it was a good decision to take the BE..... now the price shoot to 1.3060 and went back to the 1.3090 arrea ...that mean in that case my initial SL was hit!! Well nice to know...

Thank you trademin for replying my post and giving me hope.
I am trying to dance by following the market rythm.
This method helps me to trade the marktet rythm and hold the lot longer than before.
I bagged some at 1.3100 and add short at 1.3150.
Indeed, I was pending at 1.3200, but the price seems reluctant to go there.
Now, MACD has two RB and divergence.
My target 1.3000 is a question.

Very clean shot!!! You are still doing it!---Congradulation!

"Now, MACD has two RB and divergence!" .-I have seen it too!- I have seen also that many moving averages are about flat in the Daily chart(it is a large consolidation which aim at the bottom of it),I am still in... ...will see!
