I do not have much luck trading the daily. Since you trade the daily can you tell me your entries and stops, targets for the 3 pairs you took today. thanks

Am I understanding correctly that the larger the signal candle, the more momentum it has? Would you be worried about the WRB (wide range bar) thing?
I have gain confidence from back-testing, If we have this big candles at the right time of day we should see a continuation on this trade... by studying the charts we can see we have a high chance of success with momentum.

There will be times when it will reverse on us and we take a loss but like big E said not much:

{quote} 0.77 is a very well respected level. Kinda make sense to want to trade a bounce from it. I'm in H1 short trade as well.

-10 pips on EU... Pros: first bull candle, TDI angle ~1:30, bigger candle compared to previous ones, closed above PAC and 5MA (though it's not on that screenshot), stochastics going up Cons: MBL (yellow) curving down, overall TSL (red) direction down-ish since yesterday, after a "long" overbought uptrend Honestly, I feel I took it out of boredom, I was hoping it will brake yesterday's high and continue towards last week's high. Not too much room so 10 pips SL and TP{image} I'll appreciate comments if I missed something. Learning on my own mistakes,...
Big Round Number 1.38 I think. Really need a clean break above 1.38 to go long, or its just another stop run. Smart money is taking retail to the cleaners at that level. Look at the false breaks. It will keep trying and then "what goes up, must come down." Just my ten cents...

On the subject of Big E , I've put together some of his training charts from the Craig Harris thread and TMS thread.

If anyone else finds them helpful, then they'll be worth sharing here

Agreed. Kudos to Zoopots. I thought at first it was a risky short given the LTF uptrend and scratty looking candles on the STF charts, but it bounced and got some decent money behind it now,

Sorry to be a pin, I'm sure this has been discussed at the time, but is there a working version of the TDI indicator for the new MT4, or is there a way to get it to work? If you could just point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

Huge thanks. When I look at it now, especially on H4, it makes much more sense not to go in - H4 consolidation, engulfing bar at 6pm yesterday... always so clear AFTER the trade

Long on EURCAD, although not a good entry as it is near to BRN and also is range bound on H4 but still hoping it will atleast 30 pips as TDI is in good shape and all the TFs are bullish except Weekly.

Its better to stay aside then to take a trade that sucks.

I will.
PA is always playing tricks on me ... as soon as I adapt it changes again...should I trade higher timeframes?... no lower timeframes ?... both? maybe.... PA will still find a way to try and get those pips back from me

I didn't really see any decent H4 trading opportunities last night around London open and i still don't see much. Momentum just isn't there.

Just got back home after a day's outing and and I see some good potential trade setups as we approach New York Open.

have not check the news event calendar yet, so there are risk of news event in the US later today.

For Day chart traders, you may see a Day Double Inside Bar for this pair. Now you get a intraday H1 entry opportunity.
You have to decide if you are a Day chart trader.
