Sober_C replied Feb 27, 2014A lot of sitting on hands this morning. Was on GJ from GMT 7:35 but got taken out at BE off that poxy spike but fortunately EJ had just recycled nicely was was good for an entry at GMT 7:42. Exited at mid-pivot before LO to bank 17p but again it ...

Sober_C replied Feb 25, 2014And it works. Getting up that bit earlier is well worth it to get more of the Asian session. I'm now trading GMT 6:30 - around 8am & loving it. Was on GJ this morning too but got out that bit early (as usual!) for 18p. I just can't seem to settle on ...

Sober_C replied Feb 21, 2014Ha, no problem, sorry I should have been more specific: Gann High/Low, it's 1 of the indy's that make up the G-Matrix but I just use it on it's own (GHL10) & it's great for entries/ entry confirmations in tandem with whatever else you're using to ...

Sober_C replied Feb 19, 2014EUR looked weaker than GBP for me this morning; I still look at the m15 Drake Delays for my general direction & gauge of E/G strength/ weakness (though I don't mind trading against it under the right circumstances) & so was happy to enter & hold EJ ...

Sober_C replied Feb 14, 2014Mornin all. Couple of scalps on GJ this morning. First trade was based around that RSIoMA movements I mentioned yesterday, UJ was turning long, as was m5, the second trade was after the recycle with support at S1. Both exits were at pivots for 10p & ...

Sober_C replied Feb 13, 2014Just a quick one from me re divergence. Have been looking at the movement of the m1 RSIoMA(14) during the flat periods where it looks like the market makers are just churning the price. PA is generally flat with the BBs squeezing tight but RSIoMA ...

Sober_C replied Feb 12, 2014I agree, we are already essentially getting all the information we need from the m5 stochs & m1 stochs & PA so I'm not really sure how much more there is to be gained by using the matrix. I use CCI(14) independently anyway. At present on m5 UJ I ...

Sober_C replied Feb 11, 2014Howdy all, some nice movement out there today. Waited for UJ to turn short at around 6:30GMT as it had a look about it & at present I still think UJ has much further to go (I'm thinking beyond 100 & the S&P with it too, but that's another story). ...

Sober_C replied Feb 10, 2014Howdy all. GJ was the one to be on this morning but unfortunately a combo pc issues & seeing EJ first led me to back the wrong horse. Saw UJ turn short so knew which crosses to be on but took the wrong one as I hadn't had the time to do an adequate ...

Sober_C replied Feb 7, 2014Snails pace out there for the most part. Took 3p off EU over FO & was on EJ short over LO but being NFP day, with the lack of liquidity that brings, I'm totally spooked & just jumped ship at a s/r line for another 3p when I could have held for 10 ...

Sober_C replied Feb 6, 2014Managed to bag a small few pips before work. I'll put it up just as an example of the importance of going with strong v weak on UJ. Entry was grand indicator-wise but I shorted GU when UJ had just turned short again (pic on right). I should have ...

Sober_C replied Feb 6, 2014Hopefully a few of us can keep things ticking over anyway. Frustrating one this morning. Got in just before FO after the EJ swing &, just like on NFP day, I should have taken what I was given at DPV seeing as it's BoE & ECB day & there's less ...

Sober_C replied Feb 5, 2014Same type of trade today, this time on GJ. Prices driven up overnight & then churned for a few hours ready for the next move down. Everything came together at 6:56 with UJ going short again & m5 (far left pic, m30 sto top indy box, m15 sto bottom ...

Sober_C replied Feb 4, 2014Howdy, one from this morning. UJ had strengthened after the overnight selling & from before 7 EU looked very like a pump/ accumulation when looked at from a distance. Everything came together for the dump at 7:45. I entered on the wrb break out of ...

Sober_C replied Jan 31, 2014Sure, my best trade of the week on Thursday morning, 7am GMT, was a 23 minute trade on GJ. Here's the exit. CCI14 has breached the 200 mark on the initial move & then threw out divergence at which point I moved my sl to be & held for another move as ...

Sober_C replied Jan 31, 2014Howdy, I too scalp m1 before work GMT so Frankfurt & London opens. My ideas for entry are similar &, after trying many exits, I've recently settled on CCI14 breach of 200/ -200 & divergence for my exits if that's any help to you. Check out the past ...

Sober_C replied Jan 30, 2014Now that I've pretty much settled on my entries & exits I won't post new charts, I might create a journal for that, but I will throw in any observations or ideas I have on the indy's that we've been testing/ using. Most recently I've found that I ...

Sober_C replied Jan 28, 2014One trade on GU this morning. USD was flying vs JPY so was waiting for the chance to short EU or GU. The m15 Drake Delay's went short at a similar time so after their initial move down GU was the first to show so I went short. It never made it to ...

Sober_C replied Jan 24, 2014I've pulled ADX & Adv ADX entirely & the G-Matrix from the 5m chart (& I'm still not 100% on the 1m matrix as I'm using volume & CCI independently anyway). No need for the m5 sto if you're using the m1 RSIoMA (14) as they are essentially the same ...
