Hello Akt,

Long time listener first time poster on FF. I do like your charts and the way you explain what you see on them. You have a good way of breaking things down in layman terms. S/D looks great when drawing up previous levels and such but, I struggle when looking for valid levels in real time. What I think may be a great level to trade off of and should bounce normally doesn't. I guess if everything worked out the way we all think it should based off text book teachings we would all be rich right? I think my problem is my pride and not cutting losses sooner when the trade is not working out the way I had planned. Anyways, enough rambling and I look forward to more charts and teachings from you.
Thanks.

I had the same issue of not cutting trades sooner. I got over that mentality by literally writing what would happen if my RR (reward-to-risk) ratios were all messed up over and over again. I kind of drilled it into my head that it might be a short-term loss, but cutting bad trades pays in the end.

Welcome goathed.
Thank you for the kind words

Looking at your post I think one issue you may have is putting all the information the charts are giving you on different time frames together to make a decision.
A good looking level in a bad price area is still likely to fail.

ok thank you akt. I will check out alfonso Moreno and also the videos you mentioned in your first post storehouse analytics. Ive been breakeven for a while then lose some then the cycle repeats itself. small gains then break even then lose. I don't care how long it takes I'm determined to solve the puzzle.
Thanks again.

I wanted to follow up on my EUR/AUD trade. TP has been hit with a +334 pips. This trade constitutes the biggest pip win in my short trading history. To celebrate I am going to have my morning coffee now.

Good job DenDen. But I didn't take it because H4 TL is broken. So I can trade only on D1 DZ

Hi Akt,

i see EURAUD is in Daily SZ, how do you think is good zone for shorts? P.S. I just new in trading OK. it could be pullback

Also... Weekly SZ is not far away, and as we know Price likely to change direction when meet bigger TF zone. I just wondering how long could be that long?

Denden. It is H4 trendline (connects two latest valleys) on your H4 chart.

Akt. Is my TL correct? If it is correct. then my decision (not to buy in this H4 CP DZ) is right.

Hi Conom, your trendline is correct if your middle time frame (trend TF) is 4H.

I am a swing trader so I follow Weekly for curve, Daily for trend and 4H for execution.

If your Entry TF is H4 Why don't you consider H4 TL

I look at 4H (execution TF) trend lines when looking for confirmation entries, in the case of broken trend lines. Otherwise my trend timeframe is always daily (trend) time frame.

Hello Lindi
Thank you for the question

When making decisions about whether to sell or buy remember to do a multiple time frame top down analysis
That is what helps decide the most appropriate action to take
