I saw that setup and added one position.
But I had to wait for a better entry price.

{quote} can you help why is my eur/aud h1 not the same as your eu/aud h1 {image}

redfan:

The price bars look the same.
You have the TDI at default setting - 13,0,7,34.
Maybe my TDI look different if that is your question.

@Redfan

If your candle looks different, it could be because your broker closes each candle at a different time. We cannot change this timing on our end, it's tied to each broker.

Here's what mine looks like. default TDI

LO gave you a nice rebound to enter i guess. I'm not eager going short GU since there is Y's Low, RN, EMA800 nearby and I see support @1.6448
Perhaps EUR CPI tells us more

Would the first bull candle considered an LO fake out WD? Formed double top, enter the break of first bear candle?

Breaking my trend line downwards.

I saw LO setting up neatly, but I decided not to take advantage of it, due to the Trendline being really closeby. Eventually it managed to break the TL but was stopped by the 139.135 resistance.... I was following the logic that we're in an apparent downtrend on all the higher tfs, price keeps making lower highs and lows, and at the same time any attempt to move up fails.... So I waited it out, M15 gave a pretty good signal with stochs coming out of OB and TDI crossing, so I jumped the gun.

I guess if I were to enter via H1, it would be on the close of the previous candle, below the TL... But TDI never crossed to the downside, which is why I was only looking for 25 pips (half of what I usually aim for).

zwirN:

Good observations. I waited for a retracement to get a better entry price. Usually a Fib 38/50 retracement level works out.
You noted prev D low and the lower support, price will bounce hence there is some risk.

We are still trading in the range of the H4 wide range bar, so I consider this to be wide range sideways market but more to the downside. The TDI is showing this direction but going to the oversold region. We just have to manage the risks and use proper money management under this type of situations.

Trade Well,

EMMANUEL

Emmanuel spends hours editing charts and providing valuable information for us and makes a genuine difference to people's lives. He doesn't have to but thanks to him a lot of people have now become successful, or in my case, on the path to success.

For me it is very important to have a calm mind when I trade everyday. The video is something I watch frequently to remind me of the tough world out there and the reality. Trading the market is a mind game. We need mental fitness to survive. Hope this will help someone.
Thank you for your post Emmanuel , I had a bad start today and its help !

E/A H1 just shot upwards. Without looking at the TDI, was there any PA signal to enter?

EURAUD H1 - had long to wait this morning.

1st attempt to the downside didn't go further after the news => B/E
2nd attempt to the upside got great momentum in the last hour. => +72 pips

EA attempted several times to get above the low of the 29th (S/R).

And here is with -18 pips (at 1/2 pos. size) a small looser
GBPUSD H1

Currently it seems that this S/R will hold and we get another upmove - see what the news at 14:30 will bring us.

Dire wolf,

I took this signal on the M15. Take profit near prev week 50 % wich was in confluence with 61.8 from the big downmove.
