^^^^ The when question is very important because every price level is a potential support or resistance level. So, how long a certain level holds is all that matter. So, when I know a partcualar level will hold for the next 10mins with probability 98%, I can enter without SL, or place a VERY small sl( i.e <10pips, as I do whenever I use SL) And I have never lost 3 trades in a row, SL or no SL!!!

I don't undertsand you are buying right now? Do you think it will crawl back up to 1.3386?
If you fall, I shall be there. - The floor

Our first lesson will be to look at candle sticks again, not in the way people look at it around the world. We will focus on the spacetime component!!!!
Please elaborate

OK this poste was a breakout for me of understanding what you're looking for. I'm using TOS platform and was trying to identify spot on another currency (EUR/GBP).
Would like to get confirmation if my understanding is correct or this was just a quincidence. As i understood your poste you can search similarity with any of indicator so i tried with PPS and comparing timeframes 4h/1h/30min.

That is very true and the more sophisticated your setup is the more precise your calls will be!

I need to know where to place a stoploss because that will help me know when and where to enter. once you answer the where and when questions, you will know where and when to enter!!! Knowing where to place a stoploss does not means you have to place one. My explorer proves this. look at the huge lots I used sometimes!!
Ok, I will give this go. I am not mega confident but feel we need to contribute something back so I'll start the ball rolling.

The current H1 bar needs to close above 1.33561 so I would buy if it drops sufficiently below to cover the spread and my SL would be a close below 1.35561 at the close or 1.33451 if hit before.

I spot one possible trade at EUR/JPY. Price should return to 136,36.

be aware: this is not trade idea. Just asking EURUSDD if i understand the idea os similarity.

Thank you Hepsibah. However, remember the most important thing I said. Price lives in spacetime. Always give position and time of validity. so it is not enough to say this: The current H1 bar needs to close above 1.33561

because your H4 bar may be different from another person's.

You can say "at the end of the next xxx mins, eurusd should close below/above xxxxx"

and make sure you did some analysis. because if you are right you can go back to your analysis and make it better.

I propose we use weekends or market closing periods to learn new things or help each others. These periods should be for applying what we learned and trading EURUSD....

Price can go there but not really because of a problem.

I urge everyone to post only things related to pips making during trading periods. we can learn new things during the weekends.
