{quote} Be more cautious with counter trends or trading against higher tf TDI. But nth wrong with catching a few pips on a retrace. Can't remember who it was but one of the seniors recommend to expect half the tp on a counter trend trade.
and only take counter trend trades at good S/R with basic PA things (HH HL LH LL,...)

Yea. Looking not to trade counter trend anymore. even though it's only a few pips at the moment.

{quote} Yeah right.. Its 150 up lol
2 trades total for the day GU + 47 pips GJ + 54 pips (because of pullback and my inattentiveness...it was up to 180 pips at some point during trade and i DID NOT move SL..) more importantly, i did not monitor how the price moves after such pullback and missed NY opportunity that has gone 150 pips now... note to self....always move your SL when PA moves =.= {image} {image}
Did you set a TP?

{quote} I think I just need to move from the Midwest US to Australia where the LO and NYO happen at mid-morning and afternoon hours, instead of 2am and 8am my time. Hey Griff !!! Got a spare closet in your house? I don't take up much space, and I'm quiet (except for when I'm swearing at the market).

{quote} Here's some info for how to put a TDI indicator on your cell phone chart. I picked this up from this thread a long time ago. It's not exactly like what you'll see on your computer chart but, it's pretty darn close. I'll include a jpeg of what the cell phone image will look like. The black background chart is what the TDI indicator looks like on my iphone, the white one is from someone else's posted long ago. ---------------------- You can replicate the TDI using any platform provided RSI indicator. Here is how to do it. How to replicate...
Thanks SK. Got it. Now i can get trades while at work. :-). Don't mind the battery that's what looking at all these charts have done. I can't wait to place my first trade using this system. {image}
Your mobile chart looks good. I myself use my phone at work to see any ongoing trades as I'm usually learning to trade on daily (NY close) charts I take my trades between 9AM(AEST) - 12PM(AEST).
Put Guppy's MA and PAC (both settings on the previous posts) and your charts will be more like your PC charts just missing the APB's.
Some of the important points to remember when taking trades on your mobile :
1. They are candlesticks very different from APB
2. You have to do your homework before FO and LO whether you are bullish or bearish for the day
3. When you've done step 2 it will be easy for you to take the trades on H1 or H4
4. Better get your Support/Resistance any RN written down on a note and take it to work. It will avoid any random TDI crosses and help you avoid taking trades in the support/resistance areas.
5. Look for 2-3 pairs to start with as browsing on mobile is not so convenient.
Kindest regards
