Closed out before NFP - trade just sat in narrow range - made a mistake entering too close to NFP.

Have closed MT4, that's it for this week and very unlikely to trade before the US election unless it's an entry where 'all ducks are aligned'. A positive week but nothing to write home about however, I did learn a lot from everybody's inputs these last weeks and it has helped enormously. You can spend over 30 years in The City (which I did) but that doesn't mean you know how to trade. (much easier with other peoples money!).

Thank you all and have a great weekend Mine has just started

Hi emmanuel,
sorry for the same question again,

May I ask for a suggestion on which broker can have a correct time?
Thanks

USDCAD Nov 4 CONSOLIDATION within that Master Candle at 1.3400 ... with big news / data release today. note the very little "daylight' between the price and the 5EMA , the moving average has caught up with the price. today may be the day to see the move to see more "daylight" again. {image}
both Canadian and US data did not surprise and kept a balance sentiment for USDCAD around the BRN 1.3400.
reaction to the data release created some volatility but not enough to cause a breakout of that master candle range.
USDCAD trading remain inside that MC[3].
we shall see next week how the market sentiments will change after the elections.

{quote} Every hour there is some news/data release which affect the market. Every day there are events which also will affect the market. When we trade with the 5-Method, we follow the higher timeframe 'trend' or direction and know its volatility. We are seldom wrong when we know the market's direction and the market volatility. We must learn to place our stops away from price levels where the volatility range is. We must learn the use of % risk and do our trade position sizing to remain in the market by staying away from those volatility...
Hi emm,

For H4 trades, we look at the H4 trend AND the D1 trend (so we only entry the direction of the trend). We only enter when our buy/sell is in the same direction, but how much time do we look back for determing this trend? Or just look at H4 green/red crossing and checking D1 green is above/below red is this also ok (which can be a few candles back for D1). Do you have a tool for rapidly determing those trends? Do I just check the TMSmonitor green/red squares or are those timeframes not good?

thanks,
bunne

Good question by bunne.

Before I answer his question, I suggest every TMS trader do this little weekend exercise and post your reply here.

In Post#647, Big E he wrote these:

1) he expects each price swing to run "3-8 candles... which is average..."

2) he asked " Am I in an uptrend or downtrend.. short & long term..."

Look at this pic below, when he was trading the H4, which trend was he trading?

the short term trend, the intermediate trend or the long term trend?

Your answer is important because if you are still struggling to be profitable trading with Big E's 5-Method you will learn the one of many reasons Why 95% Of All Traders Fail

Have Fun and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Here is one example of a H1 trade setup on the Oct 28 London open session posted on the TMS M30 thread.

Why that H1 trade setup should avoided?

no moving average will be able to tell you what the market trend is.

I think this old post can help you better understand the use of moving average.

and why do most traders including professional traders use multi timeframe analysis as their trading approach?

For me, First it is toward a range market zone, Second, It is still in the middle of a Master candle. Third, it is opposite of the main trend and the trend is not broken yet. Moreover, I will also consider stochastic movement which is not shown here.
