Thanks devontrader for those kind words, yes I do feel I am letting a few of you guys down by not posting charts, but as Clive as found to is cost when he traded and posted at the same time, through no fault of is own things did not go the way he wanted, yes I do want to be able to post charts, but I look at it like this the Boss posts the same type of chart now as he did from day 1 yet how annoyed must he sometimes feel when charts pop up that do not look anything like is, I have stayed true to the Boss's Method in all my posts and although my trading style does not come over as clear as I would want it with the written word , im sure if any one thought it was worth a look at, they would set it up, post a chart, and if its not quite as I mean I would point it out

Just spend a few minutes having a look at this please, my charts are 22.00 - 22.00 uk time
gbp/usd 15min
26/01/15 21.45 bar 25pip down bar reversed very next bar with a 27 pip up bar
27/01/15 9.30 am biggest bar of the day so far 29pips and a re-test of the previous 2 bars mentioned
12.00 bar big up bar 30pips, now Blue 100lwma at this point building the daily range to the upside, on a 15min the rest is history, but on the 1hr chart the 100lwma as been Blue since the 16.00 bar on the 26th do you not think you should be waiting to find a spot to do battle on the BUY side, so if need use the 5min or 1min all with the 100lwma and find your ABCD but only on the BUY side, so we have now had a Daily range of 165 pips would you not expect a reversal to the downside (how many Daily bars close on their highs) do you want to short NOT ME I do not want to be the 1st into battle.
Just one other thing to point out the 22/01/15 massive down bar, would you not expect THEM to go gunning for STOPS placed their,
All I am saying you have had more than 1 reason to look for BUYS today all based on the Boss's 100lwma

Here is a little outside the box thinking, if we say most pairs move 100/150 pips or more in a day and they do not show up on the boss's TT why is this ? They are trading sideways perhaps are eyes should look at these because at some point they will have to build a range thus getting a score on the TT but with the right signal, we could get in earlier on the move.
Just a thought ?

Hi Dave

When we talk about posting charts we don't mean as you trade which can be distracting. We mean when you're not trading but want to share an idea. Its far easier with a chart... Can you post a chart ok??? If not I'll do a post on it or we can hook up on skype for a quick run through how to???

Anyway as for your idea about trading ranges or corrections in a trend, well thats range trading isn't it?? This is about trend trading and of course only strong trends at that. I'm not using the 100lwma like a magic number for a moving average its just a nice ma to measure the slope on, nice steep sloping 100lwma = strong trend. The point being the trend will make up for bad entries plus give you bigger winners when you get it right....

Best time to do what you're talking about is when a strong trender goes into correction mode or sideways range... if its been trending up and ranges try to buy the bottom as we're expecting it to go out the top and vice versa in a strong trender downwards...so enter at the top. get to BE as price crosses the range and if it goes you're laughing and if it doesn't no harm done..

But for me Dave its all about those strong trenders then wait for your ABCD move and jump on board....and just to demonstrate that a picture paints a thousand words heres a picture of exactly what I'm trying to say ....GBPJPY just after NYO today..

I know this is hindsight trading but just look how cool this is, find that strong trender 100lwma sloping then buy those dips sell those peaks, look for key levels, 25 levels, yesterdays high low and open , then break and retests of those levels, wait for a small range to develop buy the bottom get to BE as price crosses the range then away you go...

Whenever you get a strong push up AB taking out last high then wait for the pullback BC to a key level then jump on board...

The trend is your friend but a stronger trend is a stronger friend...

Once you find a strong trender then it really is as simple as ABCD....
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!!!

2 points clive.comming into my mind1...could we have a ttindy list.down the side of maybe the 28 pairs.and we can see all 28 which we also have in our symbol.list.and be able.to see the number on ttindy.maybe we could.then say anything under 30 is ranging.....30 to 50nis trendinging 50+ strong trends.etc as an example.for a rule.2. As we all say let our winners run....well.something i usually.do.is....enter on m1 like.you.would.do...jump up to m5 and if trading same.direction then trade on the m5.....then again hoo up to m15 etc till you.find higheat time.frame.in your same direction.suddenly instead of a 10 pip.cycle on m1 you.couuld.have a 75pip on h1stops.could.then be trailed on the following swing high or.low.lets.say you go.as high as m30.....i wait for this m30 to show end of its.cycle as in overbought to oversold....then i drop down to.m15....so.basically.reverse of.my.entry method..and exit on m5

Im currently.exploring the idea.of.timeframe.confirmation...eg all xharts aligning at.same.time.

to put it in easy way

a clock.....

if.you had a clock for.each timeframe....the 1min will travel 12 to 12 faster then same a 15min

this is called cycles...but price dont go around like a clock just up down.

If you had every tf clock aligned next to each other....at some point all clocks will be bang in 12oclock (swing high) and all aligned together at 6oclock (swing low)

Ive posted super indicator and am trying to.get a programmer to.use this and get a major arrow tomprint for this idea as.well.as the minor swings thhat it.does.anyway.

anyone know a programmer mayne worth asking them.

could be pretty useful seperately or used in clives method
