GBP/JPY M5 Observations

I've said it before and I'll keep saying it "The Market is Fractal by Nature".

What this means is we see the same things occurring on all TFs.

As we go up the TFs the Scale of the Fractal Increase so it takes much more "time" for what we are seeing to play out.

I Trade M5 now because my Exposure to the Market ("time") has decreased dramatically but I am Trading exactly the same setups as I would be Trading on D1.

GBP/JPY H1 Observations

We could see a drop down into a Level of Buying (Demand) before a push up to new levels of Selling (Supply)

If enough Levels of Selling get Consumed on the way Down it removes the obstacles for the return journey

It all depends on the amount of Buying still in the Market at the levels marked on the Chart below.

GBP/JPY M5 Long Trade

The Market has hit a Level where Buyers are greater than Sellers.

Are there enough Buyers to push the Market to my Target?

That's always a judgement call.

{quote} how come you dont enter at this level with a buy limit ? ..are you waiting for candle confirmation ?

Hi Price,

I wasn't sure where the Bulls where going to show their hand so, in this case, it was the Bullish Candle before my Entry that I saw Bullish Intent.

I would rather enter with a Market Order, at most times, because I like to see how the Market approaches (PA) a particular Level.

Hi Price,

I think it would drive me crazy to just Trade full-time.

There is no other purpose to Trading other than to make money.

I Trade because I enjoy the process of Trading and want to be as good a Trader as I can be and hopefully money will be a byproduct of that.

But that isn't enough for me, I enjoy my day job, renovating old properties, because I get a great deal of satisfaction from doing that.

At the end of the day, week, month, year I can physically see what I have achieved.

I enjoy the combination of the two things, I do, because they compliment each other.

Hi Alsu,

Fractal means repeating patterns that repeat on different scales.

So I would be looking for exactly the same patterns on D1 as I am on M5.

The Scale is greatly reduced when Trading M5 compared with D1.

By Trading M5 my exposure to the Market, both in terms of Pips and Time, is greatly reduced.

this video i think is valueable for lots to learn from about the market and candlesticks

it helps when looking at daily or 5mins charts
