{quote} I didn't, haha. But I wish I would have at 1.3975 and 1.3945. i am looking for when the momentum is going to bring the CCI back across the 0 line from the overbought/sold status. actually didn't have the focus to trade today. making a trip tomorrow. my mind is on packing, etc. only had a few minutes to scan some charts today and i knew my focus was 100%. would have loved to have picked up a few pips from the 3 pullbacks i posted today, but i've quickly learned it takes more focus than i could lend today. the gbp/jpy would have been just...
Good stuff Jason and stick to what you feel comfortable with, if its 5 mins its 5 mins, are you dropping down to the 1 min once your 5 min CCI signals???

The whole thing about trading is to find what you feel good working with as we are all have to find our own path in trading, thats very important. As you know I love my 1 minute charts but many good traders hate em guess its a bit like marmite, you either love it or hate it and there doesn't appear to be any inbetween...
Feel the Fear and do it anyway!!!

I am checking 1min TF, but really want overbought/sold CCI signal on 5min TF. Also, looking good to have 15min and 60min strength confirmed on ASH MTF (as seen on current charts posted), but this may just be for my peace of mind right now.
Will check internet speed here because I'm in Indonesia now. Might not have speed or time to trade, but will be checking charts when I can.

{quote} When did u move to BE?
Can't remember exactly but I usually wait for a retest of my entry so it comes back at me once then as it moves away 3 or 4 pips I move to BE. Get a lot of BE's of course but also avoids a few losers...and sometimes stops me out then flys but I just accept whatever happens happens... Finally realise I don't control the market but I can control my stops....and take profits too..

Just starting to understand that the market goes wherever it goes and that the information on the chart is just neutral its up to me to make decisions based on what I see rather than what I perceive will happen next...

The secret is to trade the price action without some preconceived idea that you know where its going...If it moves with you hold on and suck out as much as you can and if it goes against you GTFO....

Not trading very much lately as focusing on my work but I'm also realising the best time is just after LO and NYO...when price is moving rapidly...just trade for 2 hrs and stop...

Thats about it Jason just keep looking for those entries and some work some don't but trading with the strong trend, steep angle of 150HMA, sure does help...

Just adding to that, Once I'm convinced its going up with steep slope 150HMA then all I'm looking for is a quick pullback to jump on board. Break and retests are great.

Just keep it very simple, identify a move and try to jump on when it pauses..then continues, try to do it as early in move as possible.

Simple simple simple....

First one knocked off at BE but maybe this one will hold, mind you playing around with Frankie feels like I'm poking a sleeping Lion with a sharp stick...
