I couldn't find who it was but someone recently asked about gaps, I think of them as an invisible candle on steroids but their context is the most important thing (location, location, location). Here's a trade that got filled Friday night after I went to bed then hit profit on this mornings market open which was a first for me. Obviously in forex gaps are usually small and uncommon vs other markets such as stocks where they're constantly happening every day and to even read the 4hr chart can be a nightmare. The best part about gaps are that if it...
Great job sir. Good to see the hard work paying off
About gaps, correct, they are seen as wide range candles within the methodology.
They can work for us (as in your case with this trade you kindly shared) or against us. As always it is important to understand them and how to use them in our favor.
For example, spare a thought for the fellas with the long orders who had the market gap below their entry price, fill them and stop them out, all in one move.
Yikes!
Thank you for sharing Ketts, much appreciated
Best wishes

Hello everyone
I often get asked if the methodology works on smaller time frames or for intraday trading.
If you have the time to be present in the moment, then yes.
Here is an example of a trade taken this morning, on a day i can be in front of my screens
I hope in sharing this, it helps the short term traders among us to see it is possible.
I have shown a 15min chart for clarity. The actual traders were taken on a 1 minute chart

It is a nice intra-day trade you got here.
Question is what is the timeframe sequence you are using in this trade?
As I understood for an intra-day trader,
- D1 for bigger picture direction,
- H4 for SaD zone and
- H1 for entry.
I hope you could kindly correct my understanding here.
Always appreciate your best effort.

Great question
The principles are those of multiple time frame analysis. What the exact timeframes are that a trader uses are not as important as long as he is taking sequential slices of the market to view and make a judgement.
The sequence you speak of is but one of many that can be used and is even at the high end of sequences in terms of its size
Some SAD traders use a 60,15, 5.
Some use a 240, 60, 15. Even yet, others use a 15, 5 and 377 tick as their sequence.
It is all to do with what the aim of the trade is.
Remember, there are no absolutes in trading. Almost everything is dependent on the trader and his goals for a trade
hope that helps

Hi all just looking through my charts and found an odd pair i don't usually trade AUDCHF have daily long me thinks and looking for confirmation trade of 1 hour hope i'm correct . Michael any feedback would be appreciated to see if i'm seeing these right . So i beleive daily has come back to DZ and looking for longs of 1 hour could have entry around the 75.20 mark more interested in the process of my thinking rather than the trade so hopefully my analysis is right ? By the way nice trade on GBPJPY bravo ! I do have a question on that trade on daily , it seems very rangie how did you pick direction on daily ? understand it came back into the DZ zone!
Is this just experience or is there something i'm missing ? Do you then refer as shown on the forum that lower time frames were the key?
Regards to all and Michael great seminar Saturday night thank you and the team.

Welcome to T.I.O.F
Good to meet you
We never know whether price will turn at a particular zone or not
I wish i did, that would be fun.
Scoring the zones is a bit more intricate than many think and is way more than i can show in a video in a few minutes i'm afraid. it is something we do focus on quite a bit.
There are some free videos on the internet about it already but as with most free stuff, the person doing it makes it seem so much easier than it actually is
and there is often more detail to it than is shown.
Welcome again
Best wishes
