E/A sell

Bullish AUD news that broke that consolildation zone. Euro was showing signs of another bearish wave, so I went short. The thing is I wasn't around so I was late, I would've entered at the yellow horizontal line (break of previous consolidation zone and news M5 candle close). So I've got 40 pips instead of 65 but that's fine. Hard TP hit after struggling a bit, dark orange line shows on left why there.

PS - don't mind that other ongoing trade, testing something on daily (on H1 it does look like a TMS bounce entry though, but still it's <32)

GBPUSD H1 long +47 pips in 30 seconds - if it would be so easy everyday

Unfortunately I missed the GBPAUD continuation short this morning and EURJPY makes no efforts to show a clear price structure.

Yeah beside news I see no real trading opportunities for today. Maybe scalp long on E/U later today for a channel trade, if a good signal shows up.

E/J stuck between RN and 200ema since New Year, lately especially choppy, repeatedly hitting 140.00 below, which is a fib 38.2 on weekly, but still not showing any willingness to go up, as Emmanuel's Kuroda pic says..

It is always good to be prepared after we do our WTDA or Big Picture Planning.

There isn't any nice PA setup right now.
What I see is a H4 IB and now in H1, a likely MC when this current H1 does not close above 141.47

Hi Irishtoffy,

I think your GJ plan played out well this week with that D IB breakout and continuation. Now we see 172.72 as target TP and posiible reaction.

Entered e/u on second candle since the TDI changed mid way through the first (didn't set an alert for price change). I think it's a bit on the risky side since price is hovering at week's resistance. PA seemed to be picking up momentum + TDI entry so I figured it was worth a shot. What do you guys think?

Quite similar to the tool we have in this thread.

fhm,

You couild have enter during candle#2 at the same price level as today open since this is a continuation from the previous day close.

Use the previous day Open High Low Close when you trade H1 chart timeframe.

Trade Well.

Example of H1 Intraday entry using Previous D OHLC.

We follow the Day candle bias.
For eaxmple, we have a bullish previous D candle.
When previous day is bullish, we look entry after a retracement.
This should be confirm with a TDI cross or a 12-2.

There is another intraday H1 entry technique from the good old days of X-Man S3 EU H1.

It is called the Prev D Fib 127% failure reversal.

Anyone know this one?

Natural Support and Resistance:

What are these so called Natural Support and Resistance?

You see these on your charts every Day and every Week.

They are there, you don't need any indciators to show you.

Cheers Emmanuel, but it was a plan I failed to take advantage of as yet!

I have a question about possible entries this week on GJ H4 - do you see any possible valid entries?

I marked 2 CS with a small arrow where I thought a trade was possible but didn't take it.

The first arrow, I did not take the trade due to the previous W high and a lot of prior CS with wicks on both ends.

The 2nd arrow I didn't take the trade due to the upcoming news release on UK economy. But if I was going to enter, would it have been a good TMS trade entering on the close of the second CS marked with an arrow? Even without the news I would have been wary of entering due to the long wicks.

I am watching PA around the 173.00-173.10 which is a 2 week high. Expecting a retracement which will enable me to enter.

It was very choppy in H1 the whole of yesterday, price swing around the Prev W high.
With a shallow retraccemt, one would be prepare for a continuation of the Prev W with target 127%.
The only clear intraday support of Mnday High around 171.50 and that provided support for an intraday entry. Also a nice PCRF with IB breakout.

Right now with NYO, no point chasing this. Wait for tomorrow retracement entry in H1.
