Just re-reading the suggested rules about pullbacks. I think I see where I was wrong - the chart I posted shows Continuation Breakout type of setup. NOT what Divergence is telling us.

" Hey zen a pullback is a pullback we are looking for and inside bar engulfing bar railroad tracks or last pullback bar and followed by a thrust bar that shows us where supply and demand is"

remember market structure if a 123 forms and breaks 2 point trend changes trade the pullback

Well, dear H, now that I'm the big time Bund trader I always knew I could be (OK, not really...), I added CL back into the mix just this European morning (it usually moves slower while the US of Trump sleeps) & consequently thought of you.

I've definitely relaxed into being a scalper... just a few ticks a day is all I seek (chart times CET as always) :

yuddy : may I suggest you read Post #1, then all Divergence's posts from 1 Jan to 31 March 2016 (that'll be more than enough).

Whilst doing so repeat the mantra :

"This method is about entering on pullbacks in the direction of the trend; I do not need any indicators."

Yes, some of us experiment with indicators, but this is not an indicator system. I usually use some indicators, but only as a "picture frame", to look at price more clearly. I change them every few months as a way of refreshing my view. I do not need any.

Good luck.

Can people list what to trade when or how to find a trend? For example, let's say I come home at 8PM London time, is there any way I could scan the futures and forex markets to find what is trending at that moment?

Also, could people write about what they trade and at what hours? Thanks!

Also, for people who trade NQ, has anyone tried trading off the NASDAQ Index chart ^COMP and using that to trade NQ? It looks smoother, but I'm wondering, is there lag? This could also be for other Index based futures.
