One of eelfranz's most basic rules was ONLY to go in on candle 1 or 2 not any other candle, especially not candle 4 or 5 its too late in the run to be able to call it a high probability trade.

Not to mention use the TDI for entries. I guess dude was in the wrong thread?

I would've gotten in earlier, on the first candle, but I think I was distracted by the PAC. I was waiting for PA to close below the lower channel. Later I remembered that was Dean Malone's rule, not BigE's rule.

Could've had +30. Maybe next time.

short nzd/jpy @ 92.77 way overbought on the daily... we'll see if it can break below / close below the swing low of that little 1H channel that it's up against right now. edit: and yes, I'm aware that there's a "red" news event for CNY coming up in about 20 minutes. {image}

Hi,

Today we start a new month and also a new week.
Always good to look at the MN chart then the W1 chart and plan our trades.
W1 shows market in consolidation and last week 48 was a Doji.
Week 47 was bullish and using that W1 candle OHLC as our support and resistance we see how the Open play as support last week on H1.

Today Tokyo open selling into this support is low probability.
D show it is over bought and that can remain in over bought above 68-level is a strong uptrend.
JPY is weaken by BoJ actions, so it is better to stay on buyer side for all xxxJPY pairs, unless you are scalping the TDI cross on H4.

When trading H1, you must observe the Price Acton at Support & Resistance and use the TDI as confirmation of the Price Action.

Trade Safe!

Hi,

Your Synergy PAC should be set to using two MA set period 5 Smoothed MA High and a Low, without any shift.

Weird, I thought it was shift 1.... thank you !

Adjusted the PAC and noticed that even with that change, the setup candle on my charts (finfx for broker) still would not have been valid. Plus, it was late on Friday that it occurred.

totally agree ! Good reminder !!
I keep this as the most important rule in my mind .. ( of course with a clear cross of the TDI )
Very often the price moves then in my H4 chart 30-40 pips , what gives me enough space to trigger to BE .
If the price reaches not my TP, I ´m still not in a loss.

Entered long on GBPUSD, H4 @11.00 (gmt+1)

It's against the main big trend, but I really like the setup on D1 with the hammer.

Hi,

I am good. Thanks.
Still on vacation.

UJ is still bullish despite losing some momentum due the recent dollar weakness. On lower TF trading you can catch some pips when sell. Many technical stops below 118.20. Buy the dips. Target 119.20 and 120.85

same entry , but different expectation ! ( demo)
I triggered my SL to BE ( very early , after around 20 pips ) and try to catch around 100 pips .
But the price ran very quick 100 pips , so I can imagine it´ll retrace and take my stop soon ..
what shells ^^ .. valid signal is valid signal ^^

Lorbax Defo agree USD is weaker - how far to TP do you think?
See, as a ROUGH measure ... I usually consider 50 to 80 pips on h4, as "first shot", such as the first push after the candle open, then it can retrace, and re-start, no problem. But in a counter-trend (like this) I would not expect strong re-starts

I don't know if it makes sense, but I measure the current PA from the 5SMA and it's about 60pips now, so basically it already reached my first hypothetical TP.
I set SL to BE just like Sesamstrasse, I scaled down half position and I let it go.
