4 Hour Strategy (MACD)

hi ens0uled,


The ATR:
If all candles would be equal,(I haven’t seen that yet!) I mean by that same range. As example: all candles have a lows of 1.3000 and the highs are all the same at 1.3010 and the closes are all at the same level,(just like brand new wax candles standing up on a kitchen table) then the ATR (set at 1) wouldn’t have any “sparks”. You would see a horizontal line only, no spikes at all.
If one candle has, a higher range among them, then the ATR(1) result would be a horizontal line with only one “spike” in it.

If that higher range candle is repeated at every 5 low candles, then it is easy to see a cycle. So if the fifth (small) candles just closed so it would be easy to predict that the next candle should have a higher range. So from cycle there is Anticipation to extract from it. And with anticipation one could plan a winning trade there.
This is why by looking at ATR set at 1 has many advantages, among them is to look for cycle in spikes, as well as giving the trader an idea where to expect the range of the coming candle! If so, then the evaluation of where to put the stop loss ( in trouble time!) in a safer place would temper the emotion in trading.

By the way expect that after a bunch of small range candles a large range of candles follows.---it is a cycle too!

using AVA and easy forex, works ok!

Thank Phillip. I have settled the issue.

Yvon, are you trading with FXCM after the switch?

Nic,

no, and still with AVA and easyforex,

140924EURUSD: trade closed +145 pips.

MARKET RHYTHM OUR MOTTO

I missed his great forum/thread for a while now. A lot of information to post...just a lot. Will try to see if I can post all of them. But want to post recent events. Thanks to all of you who have been relentlessly keeping this home lively. God bless!

Below are some of my trades, analysis and insight. I pray that everyone benefit from it in Jesus name!

I am having a little issue with my posting as I can not see the tools menu bar in the thread reply window so as to put up my posts the way I want it. So am just posting the way I am allowed to. Will try to figure what the problem is...even my charts are not showing, but when I opened the thread on my mobile phone, I saw everything clear. So I believe people will be able to see them from your side...God bless!

USD/JPY Trade for September 24 and 25 2014

Momentum of the market showing that we are in a strong bullish mood and at a very high speed. I will try to post how this great move on usdjpy began and how i jumped into this whole run to the north at a very nice early stage.

Anticipating my 2nd take profit level with the help of the momentum lines. There are some nice explanation to how these trades were taken but cannot post now as i am having issue with posting...but i have tried to put some details in the chart to make things clear...questions and contribution as always are welcome....thanks!

USD/JPY: AUGUST 18TH 2014.

SEE HOW THE WHOLE MOVE AND RUN TO THE NORTH STARTED....ALSO SEE HOW I GOT INVOLVED FROM THE DAILY TIME FRAME PERSPECTIVE...thanks.

Some great reading from recent posters...thanks...

I know I am on the right path...

I salute you Guys great work

Thanks

I am still having issues with my posting rights. Also my charts are not showing. I can even see my charts and know how it looks from here and I cannot aswell see other posters charts. I can only read their comments. I begin to suspect if my computer has got infected or something...

I have just for now uncountable posts to make. But because of the issue I am having now, I am reluctant to post. But I will try. If things work out well, I will fill this place will good charts and info I believe someone can benefit from.

As usual, I try to take record of almost all the trades I have been doing for many years now. I snap them and keep them and read them myself as if it is someone else who posted them to me to learn from them....

I read my posts as well as posts from others here as if I just started trading forex few days ago. Everyday I learn like child. No matter how much I have known, I still listen to other people's good info here as just a little student or pupil that just started school. This helps me to meditate on what they are revealing here and I am able to extract fresh and nice knowledge.

Below is a trade I took on

Market rhythm our motto!

4 hour situation

(unleashing the power of rhythm lines)

I can read your posts and see your charts perfectly...no problem.

If you are on a microsoft pc...the easiest and free way to clean check your computer is with

ccleaner.
malwarebytes.

avira for a free antivirus program..can use on your android phone/tablet too...

I'm not trying to start a debate about antivires etc...just giving my advice/help from experience.

Yes we can see your posts and charts clear.

**********************************************************************************Thanks folk for your insight. I am happy over there you can read me and see my charts clearly. It's good. I equally want to have the same "fun" with you from my own end on other people's post...I have contacted FOREX FACTORY twice on this. Hopefully they will respond soon.I have been following some of your post and that of a guy called nic73...the challenges you are having and all that...I try to assist the way that I can, and it is because of some of the complains I read here that I am also encouraged to post...one of the challenges I see the forum is having sometimes is that many other nice ideas are shared here by other traders, that is very good, but for the newbies, that might at sometimes throw them off balance as they are faced with a whole lot of information that are very promising and they lack concentration at some points...and that is why I have decided not to post some trades which I have taken based on some "heavy mixed principles"...Another challenge is that we are not trading from same brokers and not on the same time frames or time zones....so if I posted a trade setup, it might not be useful to many people, because that might be at their sleeping time, working hours for those who are doing other jobs, etc...But I know that if the newbies here can at least concentrate on how to DRAW THE RHYTHM LINES and HOW TO MAKE USE OF IT IN TAKING TRADES, that is enough to give very good pips per month, about +150 to +200 pips per month for a mini lot. And if that is maintained, then over sometime when you begin to operate at a standard lot, the 150 will become 1,500 and the 200 will become 2,000 dollars per month. That's nice right?I have never been a trader before joining this forum. I started from a "nobody" level. A completely zero level. I studied Engineering in School, so I have never had a really fundamental knowledge of business, or marketing...God just raised me from a nobody to a somebody in this business and in life...SO IF that can happen to me, I can therefore see the future success of anyone here who is for now having problems or still struggling with trading or in anything in life...What helped me is this: While Phillip was heavily sharing a lot of ideas and strategies on how to trade the Forex market successfully, I simply told myself that I have to stick to just one thing at a time, then in the future after I have found my feet in this business, I can then start looking into other strategies...this was one of the things that saved me. I was able to focus and concentrate on just one thing, but still busy downloading other different ideas from Phillip and storing them in my external hard drive to start reading them when the time was ripe. Remember that Phillip is a king in this business, and as such has a broader trading soul/heart/brain than us, so it will not be easy to follow at his own pace...naturally that is impossible...so everyone has to work according to his own capacity...Lots to say and a lot to post; but I have also said a lot over the years in my posts. I also have not posted so much here. So anyone can even in one day go through all my previous posts to read a lot of insight I have shared here. Just click on my name and go to my "activity" window in my profile and I believe none will regret doing that.Please go learn how to draw the lines and to use them appropriately. Then take the trades as they come.It is WELL !GOD BLESS PHILLIP!GOD BLESS EVERYONE!!!

You see above how clustered my writings are in the post. I clicked on the "Edit" button to at least separate them into paragraphs and put spaces to make it look nice and easy to read. But I was denied the right to EDIT my own post... It's not interesting...


MARKET RHYTHM OUR MOTTO!


Below is USD/JPY trade on July 10th,2014.

Our normal set up: Break of trendline, pulled back to it and moving away with a TC on the MACD.


Don't forget for those who so much like using the MACD that you must have finished price analysis and anticipation on your chart before looking at the MACD...this is the very words of Phillip Nel.


Market Rhythm is the key: there are also many cases where deals can be taken successfully yet MACD is not showing any confirmation.

MARKET RHYTHM OUR MOTTO !


TRADE: USD/JPY: September 15th, 2014.



God Bless you as you read!!!

MARKET RHYTHM OUR MOTTO

TRADE: EUR/USD: 17th September,2014


naustingfx: "the eyes is the door or an entry point to the human soul and the soul is the citadel of all logics, analysis and mathematics, tricks and imaginations...

therefore learn your eyes on how to see and recognize high probability price and chart patterns so as to develop a super successful trading mindset and psychology for optimum success in the FOREX market.

When the training is completed successfully, the reflection is the consistent making of pips in a trader's live account.


And that is why the answer to success here is not only dependent on getting a very successful strategy like the one we are using here, but the trader is the key factor to practical success-his ability or capacity to receiving information, digest it properly, then retain not part, but all of the information received, then to be able to scan his chart based on already stored information in his trading SOUL or what I call brain-soul and to apply this knowledge or pull the trigger at the right time...


and that is why; in as much as we have the correct strategy, but not all have started making consistent pips...we are all in the classroom here and we write exams or continuous assessments every trading week, and at weekends maybe we go to the result board (our trading accounts) and see our performance...


some are sharp brains, some are dull brains, while some are in the middle...God knows us better...He said: if we endure to the end we will be saved-in other words, after working hard and being put through, by His grace, we will start making consistent pips...God Bless !


Nice details on how I took this live trade are in my charts...

Questions, and comments are welcome.

I have tried to post some of my trades. I don't a lot of time to do postings now. But will try to follow events here and give my help where necessary.

God bless Phillip!

God bless you all!

Thanks!
