{quote} Bizzle I feel there's really something in the M5/H1 method as started by Lastingwell, I'm trying to find the best setup to trade this way.
Yes she a great trader and I have learnt a lot from her... I think you have to back-test a lot and see what works for you!!

Best of luck

After being a member for an year and some months, I finally decided to become an &quot;OP&quot;. I wanted a place where I could post away any charts and analysis I had without them ever being offtopic. Basically sharing with the community, exchanging knowledge and experience with others at some point and so on. I've been doing this gig for a little under two years now, two long years during which I have invested more than just money, but also almost all of my time and efforts. To keep this first post brief and clear: What is this thread about? To...

That's one pair that I am not following at all, because the volatility is painful for me, lol.

Technically this isn't a trendline. Nice job on the short, but I feel it was for the wrong reasons A trendline is a straight line that is drawn using two swing highs or two swing lows and is confirmed with a third swing that touches and bounces on the TL.

Yeah you're right, I probably entered due to the rejection of the MA...

Nothing like the smaller time frames to get the adrenaline going though!

Well spotted yourself. GBPCAD is not on my watchlist, but I guess every GBP cross is moving up following GBPUSD after ISM.

Dat 30 pip drawdown, though Gee I'd hate to be late to the GJ party and have to cope with price easily moving 30 pips against me before making a ravaging 60 pip up....

thx Wdays, sorry I didn't knock before entering here (thread)
I am not sure how reliable a 5 min. divergence can be, but on H4 there's
also divergence with double bottom and tdi heading up.

Oh come now, our doors are open to everyone, especially to traders of your caliber

M5 divergences aren't that bad, I used to use them a lot when I traded solely off m5... But since the hidden M5 bullish divergence is coherent with the overall bull tendency, I guess it could be taken into account.

That DP though is very stubborn... Maybe a 100 pip target was a bit overdoing it.....

Got a headache and m5 made a lower high... I waited for it to retrace to the pseudo trendline over there and exited for +41... It went as high as +50 on the same candle but I don't care I'm going to have a nap.
