Pending buy set for this one. I use the stockastic to clearly define my lows and highs (turning points)

Hi Albert,

Thanks for your post. You'll probably find that the stochastic, although useful in some aspects of trading, doesn't really deliver what it promises. Looking at your chart, I flicked open my chart on the NZDCAD (not a pair I trade) and can see you're buying into a resistance area.

If you look at a daily chart you'll see why. If you make your charts really clean and zoom out, starting with weekly charts and then going to daily charts, you can easily identify the major S/R or supply/demand areas that can be drawn on the chart. Then when you go to lower timeframes, you can easily see these major areas and be ready for when price gets to them.

Hope that helps

Cheers
Pharley

Well appreciated Pharley. Thanks for pointing that out. Its a pity that I don't look to higher TF. All my analysis and decisions are based on the current TF "live". I want to stick to the set rules. Only two things can happen; it either hits my SL or puts me in profits..

Hi all - thought I'd do a quick post on what I"m doing on weekly, daily and 1 hour charts. I've just done this for someone else, but it may be useful here.

I look at the weekly chart first - see pic 1 which is GBPJPY. I draw a couple of S/R areas around where price currently is. I'm not interested in drawing heaps of lines all over the place. Just a couple above and below current price.

Pic 2 shows the daily chart - I do the same again. I'm looking for a couple of levels above and below the current price action. Solid lines are weekly levels, dotted lines are daily.

Pic 3 shows a 1 hr charts. The yellow lines are the current (I'm looking at last week here), swing highs and lows - the S/R areas I can easily spot.

Trend is bearish so I'm only looking to short. All my short trades will target either the yellow swing low I see there, or daily S/R dotted level. The red lines mark the minor S/R on the hourly chart that I can see and trade.

I hope that makes sense - I keep charts clean of clutter so I can easily see when price is approaching major S/R levels. By having one type of line for weekly and another for daily (or different colours) I can tell instantly what level price is approaching.

Keeping charts simple like this and drawing in major S/R areas is key to seeing where price could get to and will help enormously with trading.

Cheers
Pharley

No worries Albert - try to check the higher TF from weekly down - you can really see what's happening and it can save your bacon!

​This is a pretty strong bearish trend you're trying to fight. If you do want to trade the 5 min, why not try and pick a with trend entry like this one earlier?

Hi Jack - that's a good example of this method with a 5m chart! I'm pretty sure it works with all timeframes so if someone is partial to a bit of 1m or 5m scalping, it could be pretty successful for that as well.

Thanks
Pharley

Let me attempt an explanation to what I am doing. I stick with one TF, other time frames do not influence my analysis of the current TF.
My entries are per the thread rules;
-Identify a S/R level
- Place a pending order after it has been broken.

I use the stockastic to identify those levels. I'll illustrate with my current trades.

That's good Saruhn - any time we're not comfortable trading we should leave it for the day and pick up again when we see good trades. A valid stance to take.
Cheers!

Hi Albert - ah now I understand. I hope it work well for you mate - personally I'd take off the stochs and just trade the PA, but I'm not here to tell anyone "should do this, do that". If something works for you, then terrific and go for it! If this method can fit in with what anyone is doing now, or you can tweak things, or just get something out of it, that's all good!

Agreed. But I want price to lead the way. This current picture shows another level broken and setup for another entry. Some use moving averages etc to determine trends but trends develop from these simple setups. Again I agree that I may be going against the trend and the buy trade may not go far and same applies to the reverse.
I appreciate the concerns, but let me try this out. Lets see how it goes.......

You go for it Albert - the very best way to test these things is to do it live with small lot sizes - minimal loss if things don't work out. There's millions of different ways to trade - it's finding something that works for you and mastering it that matters!
