That is my entry chart. Here is my set-up. I use median renko on my entry and midrange charts. The daily is a map. I watch the EU and GU in tandem {image}
Ya renko kind of similar to the range bar. Traded a very similar method to what your doing there for some time using the range bars. Requires a lot of screen time though.

Not me I set my trade up...set it and forget it. But I am trading a much faster time frame so my trades are done generally under an hour. How do you like trading daily candles?

Daily candles are good to trade, obviously requires a lot more patience. Clearly you could go weeks without even having a trade set up.

jhehe: My concern regarding a long trade based on the chart you posted is that you have a higher high followed by a lower lower. This is an expanding market and decreases the probability of a reversal. You are also trading counter trend on the H4 level.. I personally would like to see more evidence of a reversal before going long. For instance, A higher number of indecision candles or a pin bar. A double bottom would also be nice. You may consider consulting a lower time frame to find a better entry trigger and tighter stop if you are trading daily....
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. I'm trying not to go short on this pair mainly because of swap charges. If I end up holding it longer, swaps will eat a chunk into the trade. That's all.

Essentially it is in a ranging phase. Right on the support area of that range. It is one of those battleground areas of the bulls vs the bears. Just a matter of time as to who wins out to determine the next move.

Is it a good idea to wait for my normal set up, seeing at least a lower higher low before entering?

USDCAD spiked pretty much to the pip on my target line, but I was not around to close it out manually. Not quite enough over with spread to close out.

The one thing I always keep in my mind when entering a position. If there is any doubt against your plan, then simply stay out. There will always be another opportunity.

It can be harder to not trade and be patient than trading itself.

Pending orders I had in place for EURUSD short and USDCAD long on 4 hourly have been triggered. {image} {image}
EURUSD 4 hourly short position had it's target area achieved.

USDCAD 4 hourly spiked up pretty much to the pip on my target line, unfortunately was not at PC to close it manually and didnt cross over the market order enough allowing for spread to close out. Still in play.

AUDJPY 4 Hourly: Pending order on AUDJPY 4 hourly was triggered. Have put this position to break even since doing the image. Risk free position. {image} {image}
Break even in play, not quite at the target line, but if I was at the PC I probably would have closed this one out and taken the profit.
