I read somewhere in BigE's notes that if the cross looks very good and the PA supports it then the trade can be tried. Probability of success is lower. I will take some entries because I can usually trade my way out of a failure.

eelfranz was a very aggressive trader and would quite often enter on color change providing everything else fell into place

Hey quick question when using apb candles what Price action do you look for what is a good PA setup

EN H4 - now this 1 was tricky - u had 2 pay attention 2 the finer details - a valid 2nd entry but u would have got in around D1 supp&res wit small entry candles - more important the D1 chart was look'n like a poss bounce or cross & was 2 hard 2 tell .... 1 other ting .... EU was look'n like it might slam up and was 2 dangerous - the NZD made the trade - it might run off if EU comes down but @ the time it was 2 dangerous so just the 1 ticket

Lastingwell....I appreciate your perspective on trading TFs. If it was up to my personality, I'd be trading lower TFs because I enjoy analyzing and then seeing if I'm right in a reasonable amount of time. But, exercising restraint, and trying to develop discipline to trade H4 & Daily only. But then I fall out of grace with my trade plan (after reading the likes of Davit & Co who seem to be successful somewhere in the middle), and try to apply the same rules in a somewhat faster environment and get the same results. So, the answer to your question....Obviously...
Hi lctrader11
Please allow me to explain myth of H4 trading vs lower TF
You are probably aware some prominent trader keep disrespecting traders trading LT's and yet he advocates looking at LT's for best entries .
This is flip side of someone looking Trading 15-30min charts but looking H4 D as general trend direction.Top down approach.
There is so much bullshit people post is astounding like lower TF's there is more "noise"
If you trade top down analyses noise is nothing more then trades being executed in real time.H4 is nothing more then zooming away from same "noise"
To me noise is called Price Action and the golden nugget here is one should define what kind of noise we are in.Rangy or trendy.Once defined one should be able to exploit it properly.
There is advantage of trading 15 30 min charts which I do.Mainly controlling risk. I can get out 15-20 DD loss and be fine but try getting out of H4 candle that can be 50-100pips.Are you willing to have SL that big? If yes then either you have a huge account or you are going to trade pennies.
Big E from TMS placed his SL top/Bottom of swings and often that covered 100pips or more.Are you comfortable with that?Well if you are then go at it! Best of luck
Regards

Look at GU hitting 61R to a T
love the pivot indi GU has been ranging for awhile.Note I am just marking potential trades but PA is still bullish and TDI not yet turned.
I like watching potential set ups in the making.

EG H4 - thought was a head&shoudler[H&S] PA - but it kinda went in a narrow sideways move - BUT! - it could not break above the D1 res & there was a channel wit the W1 res on the BRN [i had SL on the W1 res around 50pips] - on the D1 there was a kink down on the TDI & PA hit the D1 res [as we saw on H4 ]

...i used LK's rule for crosses >68 for TDI

I closed my EG shorts as well but not posting the chart because does not fit TMS (few of my entries were in DD but became $$ later on.)
Nice job!
