Hi all, I was last here speaking about A/U probably going to drop to dp and BANG I lost all contact with FF and then my internet went down .. It is all ok now but today I have been busy, I have a gas engineer installing a new gas cooker and I have been helping out by drilling holes and making coffee.. a/U did as I thought it would ( good guess) lol. and it looks like you peeps have had a good day too. I will get back with input once gas man has finished.

A/U I am looking for it to do something at 7040 level. Hopefully hour candle will close below it so it can then drop to next level. Daily range is only approx 70 right now 14-36 time. so it does have plenty left...

Looking at trades on 4 hour Aud the 4am -8am was a no trade. I am now waiting for the 12noon to 4pm to complete. Did not consider the 8am to noon.

No ORB on the 8 am E/J (15 minute) today -price action is contained within that bar range Hi/Lo
Brent was okay but was worrying because of the failed trades and "rangey" price action. Perhaps I should have avoided it but no harm done.

Looking at the Hourly:

Well - you got a Pivot break short on the 1 pm to 2 pm bar.
But why are you aiming for 7040 - is it previous support ?

I am not aiming for 7040, if it goes it goes if it goes up 7130 is a level.If I was in a trade already say from Daily break or 04-00 candle these are the places where you look for to get extra pips...

That is why I prefer Daily Break and now 4 hour. we had excellent trade options and missed the noise...

Yes Billy.
What with the four hour breaks, Claudia's hourly idea, I think I might have all I need for variety.
Plus my oil trade.

But -would you trade just one pair on the four hourly, for example, or would you examine several to see if other factors line up such as pivots ?

Hi Claudia, what I was looking at a short while ago, but on daily then 4 hour... we had along for instance for several candles and then a short, Trade off the short plus a few pips, I just marked a few but obviously some are bad

yes sir, you only need one pair (or I do). I only say this as if I had a large lot and it went bad (or several trades bad) it would cost a fortune to correct.

My problem is that I get distracted. Brent is one approach I never alter, but forex, I am always tinkering, as you will have noticed. And whilst tinkering I miss trades. I do like the hourly idea though -like a momentum trade, I suppose, with highly achievable ten pips. Talking of tinkering I must look at those more volatile pairs you mentioned.
Going down to a five minute chart the price action on the hourly is not too, so far distracting. Like Billies four hour, how you manage pullbacks has to be taken care of. Just because a one hour bar close or open is broken, by the next bar, doesn't mean there wasn't some sort of pullback. Or maybe I have missed something - cos I am an old git you know.

I like research but have to learn to divide my day into trading time-research time- and Mrs T. Time (The biggest chunk of the day-or else; misery)
