Good afternoon fellow traders!

I entered the GU (demo) at 2am PST (US) short this morning 1/12. When I placed the trade, the 2nd candle was red. It later became blue (buy) in the overnight session. It went against me over 50 pips. I did not place a stop just to see where it would go. Can anyone recommend what I missed? Thanks.

{quote} Vladbold, I think your long trade so far is going pretty good. When I look at the daily chart. I see a counter trend into the guppy's. I don't think I would hold the trade for a couple of day. I'm thinking it might bounce off of the 200 ema. Were in a strong downtrend. Just my thoughts. sj {image}

Hello SJ!

Are the guppies the multiple lines? Is it correct that it is best to stay above or below them, based on the direction of your trade? I know this is simplified but am hopeful to learn how to use them correctly. What line represents the 200ema? Thanks!

I thought I was going to be back on the forum more for a while, but my Dad became very poorly last week and sadly passed away this weekend, so although I will probably look in from time to time, I will not be here to post for a couple of weeks or so.
So sorry to hear this. Thoughts are with you and your family.

HI Aariff,

I am also new. SJ who is now manning the helm since elfranz has passed on, recommended that I read all posts from elfranz and to read all the posts beginning Oct, 2014. Good luck!

Rupasi,

The market does this all the time. The best way
to trade it, is set your stop & use a set and forget
strategy. I'm in this same trade & my plan is to ride
it out or until price takes me out. The market is
just messing with you & testing your resolve!

Rupasi,

Yes, the Guppy's are ema/close, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 & 60.
They will show you the current trend for your time frame.
Trade away from the guppy's in a trend trade. In a
retracement trade, allow price to move into the guppy's
then trade back out of the guppy's. They are very effective.

Aariff & Rupasi,

If you look in the paperclip (top of page) you will see
the Tms template that I use. This will help you to
get going pretty fast. I would read all of my old posts
since Oct 14th, 2014. Couple of hours at the most!

Was looking at the EA, GA, EN, GN and all these 4 have a similar bonce either slightly below the RSL 50 or above it.

How would these be played out? On the D and W chart, a hookover has formed but the momentum on the H4 is not strong enough unless it closes above the last high?

Hi Dennis,
yes, we all went long on EA against trend ( I saw a good angle on M30/H1 and there was still room to move on H1 before it actually reached guppy so I jumped in), and the out come was very good in this case even though I was very conservative by placing my PT at guppy on H1 for +30 green only ( I only go against it if there is room). I did not take HTF into account here. I think most of us here take EA at LO followed by FO moves. You did not miss anything

Thanks Likica,

Yes I had my fingers on the E/A trade at London open but did not pull the trigger...wish I had...well I learn everyday..so if the angle is good with decent sized APB, with enough room to move its ok to go for it right??

Dennis
