{quote} Ballistical, Thanks for your charts they are very useful to me, as I'm on the EA H1 LO as well for 90% of the trades, the few rest is GA. I do have a question, seeing your two losses are SELL entries. We're in a strong bull market with the EA since early March, and one would assume only BUY entries ?! Could you please share your reasoning of entering a sell order in this bull market? Thanks again for your posts.
Thanks Zef,

I'm glad you find the charts useful.

You're absolutely right about the two sell entries being counter trend. Had I trended with the trend this week, I would have been better off. However, many times on H1 around LO, price can easily move 50 pips in counter trend moves which is why I pay less attention to the overall trend than the HTF traders in here.

Phx62 has also mentioned this before. See extract below from #Post 51,144 where he discussed H1 counter trend trades.

"Many traders on this thread are trading the H4 and Daily charts. Countertrend trades are much more difficult on those time frames but on the H1, a trader can pick up 50, 100 or even more pips on a retracement of the overall trend. As has been shown many times, trading with the trend on the higher time frames can be very successful. Trading the H1 in either direction, with proper price action and TDI crosses can also be successful."

Thanks again for your comments.

Regards

Ballistical
Focus on the process and the profits will follow

{quote} Hi there TSS! Can you speak about your entries? On the EURJPY, I'm seeing a move above the double top on the previous London session and what looks like a bounce to the upside. It is also above the H4 high of yesterday. Was the TDI angle present when you placed the trade? It looks like a bounce after the fact but perhaps it could have been a cross to the downside? PA is above 200ema with a very puny change of color bar but did close above the 200ema. Was there positive news for the euro also?
If you read Phx62 books, you will find that he talks about trend continuation if the move started in Asian , then LO with good PA can continue the trend but the question is when?

Since TDI red green was in good angle, I took the bounce over Red in both cases , it was not valid to be taken at LO opens

Don't waste time looking for it. All the TDI versions are derived form the real price hence they are all lagging the price action. All this is only 10% of a system.
Rather spend your time to learn Price Action and trade with price action at support and resistance.

Can anyone share with me on how to manage impulsive trading and over-trading and the feeling of wanting to win (using guts to trade)right after a lose trade?

The feeling is terrible. Moreover, I'm just in the practice stage using small amount of my savings. Can't imagine if I lose big money, the feeling will getting worse. Please help me on the psychological level, thanks.

Read Mark Douglas’s book Trading in the Zone - he analyzes what goes through a trader's mind and how to deal with all those issues.
It is a must read to deal with any mind issues.
Just my opinion though .... :nerd:

To deal with psychological issues, the common approach is to consult a psychologist. But before we do that, we can become our own trading psychologist. It is not so difficult as most of the psychological issues traders face are common among all traders.
One good book which I have in my trading library is this one below.

GBPNZD 6 Apr H1 London Open

Don't be too eager to trade just be seeing TDI cross, TDI angle, TDI bounce, etc.
Look at the Price Action first, look to the left of the chart...see the previous Price Action.

The above chart shows a H1 Master Candle and price has not broken out of the MC High-Low yet.
Today' Asian session already set the high-low, but the price action is still in consolidation.
With the European and the UK markets closed, liquidity is very thin and we must wait till the US session to see what happens next.

Hello Everyone,

I read through a lot of the documents here and looked at quite alot of charts, but i still cant find the complete set of indicators for the
"Why the E.A.S.Y. Method?"

Is there a template with all indicators like TDI, PAC, HEIKEN ASHI, Market Base Line and Volatilty Bands as shown in the PDF mentioned above?
Thank you very much for this nice system i want to test it next week.

And which time frames do you recommend? Most of the poeple speak of H4 and H1, right? Also Indextrading Possible with this method?
