I'm not saying they are not gonna pull up more but yes it was premature 55 was swing termination and entry price, you basically entered at the exit point(after the bounce) {image}
do you go long from here or you wait beter price to enter?

I'm holding one short from above 800. I entered L@755 but closed it at 64.
Flat with scalps on EU atm. I'll consider a L when/if they hit 735-740.
Right now they are at 50% of yesterday's that's why it stopped.

I think the fast traders will see a few pips long in the next few minutes. I don't see it lasting, but it looks like there will be a head fake up soon.

HA, sorry. A little rusty on scalping. It's a head fake inside the consolidation, so hard to know the precise time. Exit is your choice. Cya

30m is now bullish atm, 15m to candle close, if it holds...don't think this is a strong fake, probably good for at least 25p from swing low. Next 15m will confirm or deny this

after this IF big IF hourly confirms 45 min from now, we have a huge morning star on the hourly .... potentially bullish at least until prior to news.

10 mn to 30 min candle close

Why do you always count the swings each 30 pips in the intradays in the EU?
What happens or what do you do when the pair makes 60 pips or 90 pips straight in one direction?

30 mn now giving me confluence with 1, 5 and 15m with hourly potentially following...may be out by then though

Technical question. Is it possible to open same mt4 instance 3 times or you have to make 3 folders? If yes what do I need to change? Need 3 to tile vertically (like Pipo above) each of the 3 instrument I trade with their tf's (30m/30s/5s).

Yes. I've had up to 4 separate accounts running on the same VPS. The screen you see is a local screen on my pc.

When you install other instances of MT4 it's easiest, upon install change the name of the folder and program for example:

/MT4Broker/MT4 1st copy default install names
/MT4Broker2/MT42 2nd copy
/MT4Broker3/MT43 3rd copy etc.

Mine was with 4 different accounts and logins with the same and different brokers, I suppose you could do it on the same pc with the same account although I've not done that before on the same pc (maybe an IP address issue there) but it's worth a try.

Other than that for just one local machine, you can just create 3 diff templates and click through them from the tabs which is fairly quick and efficie, but if you have 2 or 3 different machines or 3 monitors, 3 installs would be good

Pairs move in swings/ranges, when there's no reaction after one, you go for another one and so on, depends on volatility of the move, size of the candles and indies which I rely on.
Yesterday morning when it started moving down sharply they didn't stop after 60 from top, the move was very strong, waited till they reached 90 and counter traded.
Similar situation was to the upside, when they hit 120 from bottom (was shorting) etc.
Today's OR was 815-785, second swing started at 785, where did it terminate?
Additionally it's nice when the swing covers with some other pivot, like today it aligned with 50% of yesterday's ride.

Thank you, I will go with the folders probably. 1 account in 1 mt4 provider. The other is jforex. I have already a few instances running, 2 in vps and 2 in other PC's, so I don't think they have issues (with IP, multiple connections). Profiles take some time to load due to the flexibar indi, so I prefer to have them each on their window. No multi-monitor setup here I just do this as a hobby.

Yeah wasn't watching the big tf (30m) when I took it. My bad.

Sold one more at 73, sl 83 this time in case it wants to complete full swing 52-82.
