{quote} Mmmm, there is a distinction to be made; 1. History / lookback. I save the last 8 hours for reference. 2. Strengthening / weakening on (non daily open) other TFs. I replace the high/low in the forexgrail spreadsheet (used to calculate the bidratio and currency strength) by a "floating" high/low. Simply said, at any moment it looks back 240 resp. 60 resp. 15 minutes. Its not rocket science, but I find it rather useful (see for instance NZD). The Modoki heatmap does a good job at this at well.

NJ +5 ish {image} Notes: TP set to 10 pips for this trade too and while I was posting the AU trade above price moved above the 5 pip mark and then down again before I closed it manually. Masterrmind..........
Nice, both AJ and NJ good for 5 pips, but (unfortunately) not much more.
Both ranging, like watching a jojo.

Yes indeed!

So that's me done for the night need some rest.

Take care,

You can download the forexgrail spreadsheet in the attachments of this forum, our sisten dingdong99 posted a beautiful spreadsheet (based on forexgrail) on the basket trading forum, dtlase posted a nice spreadsheet on the gap trading thread.
Take your pick and customise it to your liking !

Happy trading.

{quote} my own discretionary view of the market. About ten minutes ago I took this screenshot, see if this makes sense to you. Virtually all traded instruments can be categorised as risk or safe haven (safety). Risk instruments rise in times of optimism or accelerating economical growth. Safe haven instruments rise in times of pessimism. To translate this to currencies, those currencies that move up with other risk instruments (i.e. stocks) are risk currencies. The currencies that move in the same direction as safe haven instruments are so-called...
Wow, very cool stuff. I never really thought of it or heard anyone else describe it this way. That plus your next post is loaded with helpful info! A good compliment to posting charts, because most traders cannot describe what's going on in their head (it becomes subconscious, second nature stuff), but you can so that helps more than anything.

Yes I see that you are comparing this period with the previous one, but how does that help you? Do you want all of them to be arrows up, or all down, before you consider the trade? Thanks.

Side note: I modified a CSM indicator to show how CCT analyzes momentum; D.O., current Session and H1. When they all show the same divergence, they jump on the pair with a high degree of success. Another trader I studied trades Futures but watches all TFs (4?) down to the M1 because you will see the "turn" on the M1 first and they jump in to catch the new trend or reversal. The 2nd one was a bit frantic for me but it all makes sense; PA. Then of course, there's the James16 thread for those who really want to trade long term PA. Always follow the successful people and learn from them.

Explain what you mean by late?

Are you referring to conducting:

1. the chart analysis prior to a pending order being set

2. the pair or pairs to trade

3. the timing of the trade

4. something else

I'm not going to tell you to get rid of half the indicators from your chart but I must say with such a vast array of items and colors on your chart perhaps this has something to do with choosing a pair or pairs in a timely manner.

Just apply to the chart the very minimum you need to make a trading decision and not more.

Too many changing colors, makes the decision process a whole lot harder and a whole lot slower.

Just my opinion........

ps. Its always the trader who has to make the final decision and apply what works for them (but do watch out for information overload)

Good trading,

I am studying the gap trading system, which is based on this.
It also serves as a simple reference, to know which pairs have been strong/weak during the last 8 hours.

AUDJPY & GBPJPY to TP

I was certainly tempted by the GJ trade but following the old rules of only taking trades from the 400, 500 or 600 levels during FF session.

Cost me some profit!

But you took 2 trades.

I only took 1.

I was also nice enough to cut potential profit in half by closing manually for about 5 pips instead of 10.

Bit far up in its range, but still plenty of momentum to get pips out of it.
