I almost forgot, the inside bar from last Thursday was broken as I said earlier and made a bout 30 points. I can see it going 100+ or to next level up. obviously look for clues. So that ib was a good opportunity to stay in the daily break of Tuesday candle e/j

I thought it was an example of a Claudia's hourly Pivot trade?

I meant to post one of your type of trades plus a Claudia type trade below it.

open range breakout on the 15 min .. {image} {image} 2 examples, 8-00 uk open on 15 minute chart... once that open range is broken trade it that direction. There are several entry methods and several books have been written. I traded it hard and when I actually got into the daily range early I compounded it,, orb is equally good on the hour time frame. edit,,, and again it isn't always this easy but it does have a good strike rate
Got it Billy - I note some of James16's approach to trading (support, resistance, pins, engulfing bars etc) would certainly help one to trade better and certain elements from that thread appear in many approaches shown on FF. In short, a good grounding in basics certainly helps to understand what you, Claudia and others advocate as trading approaches. A bit like being taught to fish then setting out to do your own fishing. (Ye gods -this is rather philosophical for an overcast Wednesday -sorry)
Hate to embarrass you but people like you (and others mentioned here) keep the intelligent neophyte trader away from rapacious bears

Turnip, The trouble is there are so many types of indicators to choose from pin bar ,inside /outside bar, daily breakout, open range breakout , levels, support / resistance etc and then what time frame.
So when do we get to trade, If nothing is happening ,for instance yesterdays daily high was broken and we let the trade run, If nothing seems to be happening do we then go looking at the 4 hour or hourly chart NO WE DONT, or no I don't.
Stick to the plan, it is easy to look at past charts and see what a good method you use but to actually sit and watch a trade move is tiresome, like today e/j daily high was broken which I took the 5 also the inside bar from last thur was also broken and the weekly high, but look what happened it dropped a tad but now it seems to be moving up again, IT IS SO BORING WATCHING but there is no way I will look at different time frames or indies.
sorry for harping

I fully agree. It must be obvious that I am in the process of structuring my trading day hence so many questions from myself. I am at the screen by 8am to trade the dax on my 3 minute charts (spread bets). I am now looking for an approach to trade the forex market on longer time frames using such approaches deployed by Claudia and yourself (Hourly Pivot trades and/or Midnight breaks). I seek boring because boring is effective. Jumping from system/method and from time frame to time frame is akin to a dog chasing its' flea infested tail -exhausting but unprofitable

You are right, chasing is very dangerous, when scalping have to stick to some system and wait for the right moment.
Less trades - more success.. Thats what i learned.

But we have to jump from system to system - till we find right systems... It is good to have a few of them

Hi Rabbit -yes, it is good, when starting out to seek a very small selection of tools for ones' trading box. I was writing about the people who jump from thread to thread, trying an approach but giving up when the first losing trade(s) appear (and they will), then rushing to the next trading method -repeat ad-infinitum. The result being lots of circular motion but no forward progress

E/J Monthly Pivot rejection - agresive trade - it looked there like price will go up forever.

Turnip,,,, {image} forget the Sunday candle but 1 =Fri and 2= Monday . Fri had a low of 13402, Monday broke that low for 34 pips (low being 13368) I took 5. Some people disregard Sunday trades but if I see it has a decent movement (in my personal opinion) I will trade off it...Last Sunday had a range of 35 pips so I traded it... I got the 5 off the high break and 5 off the low break. I did let another trade run plus I was interested in the inside bar, but this is different trading... Today Tuesday, nothing is happening yet.
hi billyt, thanks for sharing your trades. One thing i want to say is that looking at the chart after the fact, you cant know if the trade would hit the TP first or SL first. it is possible that the break of (say) low happens, it retraces before it reaches 5 pips target and hit the 10 pip SL and them comes back to original target. Do you have any way to try to reduce these occurrences?

thanks
