{quote} You're definitely doing the right thing, I took a few losses and breakevens because I was forcing a trade in a ranging market... Nothing I can't fix, but still enough to bring you down a bit, depress you.
Sitting on our hands I think is one the hardest things to learn!!

The way I look at it I only want to take trade I am 100% confidence in, If not then I will leave it!!

By the time market gets better I am gonna go through my notes. I believe Big Em won't mind If I share two indicators I found which seems to be very helpful while trading. 1. Pipsomter: shows you how many pips your current trade is making 2. Candlestick patterns: Which I am trying to figure out myself shows the candlestick patterns on your chart, see image below. {image} {image} Indicators: {file} {file} Regards
The only problem with having a lot of indicators on your chart is that they can give you a lot of reasons not to trade!

Keeping my tinder dry for hopefully a month end scramble.

I completely agree with you hostwey and believe me this had happened to not long ago. I believe pipsometer is a keeper as you can close your terminal after entering into the trade and concentrate more on the charts, one window less on you MT4.

Hi,

I think it was that indi I tried a while ago to help learn candlestick patterns, I found this one much easier to figure out and still use it as an alert.
I found it most useful when I'd turned off some of the options and set the lookback to about 5 candles, otherwise it looks like something pretty nasty has splashed all over the chart.

I only trade H4 swing, so no H1 trades for me.

Waiting to see how the CS close in 10 minutes.

GJ seems like bouncing off 170 RN Resistance, plus its 20 MA on D chart and still on previous range. So no trades on GJ for me..maybe tomorrow depends on how D candle closes today

In addition, Steve Nison says we have to understand candlestick patterns in a context. There are good Youtube videos:

I very much enjoy weekly analysis from Protradenetwork and daily analysis from Sive Morten of Forex Peace Army. For beginners like me, you may want to try them to see if they can improve your strategies. You can find both from Youtube.

Starting to create a trading plan, I am going to use the 2 hour chart, which is an option in MT5, I think it is high enough to not have noise but might get a few more signals, so will be checking 8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm (UK time) This is most of the London session. It's not a popular timeframe but that's just because MT4 makes arbitrarily decided to use certain timeframes.

Are you guys just using the Heiken Ashi indictor that comes with Metatrader or the Average Price Bars from compassfx?

my thoughts:

1. if anyone wants to look at charts once every two hours, you dont need a 2H chart, You can look at H1 chart every two hours and look for market entry. What is important is what you use to determine your market entry. Just think of the London session, it is 9 nine hours, why not look at the London session as one huge candle with its own Open, High, Low and Close levels. You see these levels in a H1 chart. So for those people who wants to trade once a day basis, you can follow this London candle and plan your trades around this London candle.

2. HeikenAshi HA or the Synergy Average Price Bar APB?
The only difference is the average close price, the APB calculaets and put more weight on the real price close.

Hi all traders.
I got this useful indicator from programmer ,Den Murakami.
Forex-Trailingbot.
It's a Trailing SL but for me it has still another important function.
Automatically each time ENTER it will to place SL and TP.
Subsequently I moved with dragging SL and TP to wherever I need.
The result - I do not need seting SL and TP at any trade.
He has a lot of useful indicators!
Just the way ...( For those who are planning to buy a robot at soon as possible try Samurai Robot free from Den Murakami. )
For the tested had the better results as the some paid robots.

[Quote = TheDDReport; 7297859] {quote}, pokud si propojit svůj účet na obchodní průzkumník budete mít všechna data automaticky synchronizovány na internetových stránkách. to vám řekne, jak dlouho byste měl obchod, kolik z té doby to byl ziskový, kolik pips jste skončili na stole, pokud ne výjezd na horní, atd. To také ukazuje obrázek žebříčku obchodu, které si vzal taky (to nebude šablona i když to bude jen základní svíčka tabulka značení vstup a výstup), jeho opravdu skvělé funkce a Id doporučujeme všichni používat, protože je to jako automatickou odborného časopisu thats neustále aktualizovány. Dokonce i ti, informujte svého vstupu vpravo dolů na druhou. Můžete také spustit obchodní deník v sekci obchodní deníku. Používám obojí a jen můj obchod průzkumník souvisí s mým časopisu. [/ Quot

Hi Imi, I guess we were pressing the keys at same time. By the way I took the earlier trade in your chart as well but exited earlier due to consolidation. Thank you for your continues support.
